...piece by piece


The main frame of the passenger compartment



The opening for the main ramp

The side doors


Side doors closed, first details inside





The rear ramp


Passenger seats

First paint job - lots of rust, wear and tear :)






A last look before adding the roof


Pilot and Gunner

and the cockpit




The canopy slowly comes together




Adding paint before adding the glas


now with glas :)


The crew ladder
The engines

First wing


Lots of little pieces - access hatches, wires, hydraulics and tons of rivets

The exhaust jets for the upper wings



Now both wings and the main engine thrusts

the rear finns


The missiles - if you look close you'll see that these are the tips of ballpoint pens :)

The nose



Still some filling and sanding to do


Better :)
The "Brute Cute" slowly takes shape

The lower wings/thruster combo added


Ready for priming!






and the base paint


Adding the Dencara pattern camouflage

I LOVE the doorgunner


Isn't this a nice face?


A first staging shot for my contest photo




details, details, details


Well, she has a good dentist at least :-)

The diorama base and a first look of how the camouflage pattern looks in the real environment (Note: These are not the storm troopers, but the Elites of the XIX Guards Regiment http://z11.invisionfree.com/Work_In_Progress/index.php?showtopic=8416&hl== )
Now the full storm trooper squad
Staging the contest entry


Ammo and backpacks



Prone 1









The Vox Operator
The Flamer (note the shortened airborne version)
Ready to snipe

The crew sergeant

And the final shot
