Hi all,
thank you for the comments and feedback :)
As promised to
Malevengion here's what I've planned for the passengers.
I absolutely want to try these Eisenkern Stromtroopers
and these Female Panzerjägers.
Both sets are from Dreamforge Games, come at a reasonable price and offer some nice poses and weapon choices.
From a modding perspective the parts offer lots opportunities and scale wise they fit nicely into the WH40K scale.
For the two females I'm not sure if they'll be additional Bodyguards and get weapons, or if they'll be more assistants, maybe holding PDA's or the like.
What would you think?
With either this head
or helmeted with mask.
Again, what do you think?
But on to building :)
I continued with the wings.
Which are mounted to the rear, so they don't hinder or obscure the VIP pod (or any other transported stuff)
And mounted on these wings will be the rotatable fins with additional thrusters.
These will also act as additional landing gear.
While the putty for the fins cured I started the main rear thruster.
Which looks rather nice to me :)
On the ATHENA it would look like this.
Enough room to accommodate the reception scene, don't you think?
The visiting party with the HERMES.
Lastly I built the frame for the pilot's windows.
Looks just like I had envisioned it.
I hope you like it as much.
I look forward to your feedback - especially on the head choice for the Governor and the role of the two female troopers.
Thanks
Klaus
