Thanks Boyz ! ?I have 2 more extra Carapace M/Lasers that will be mounted on top of a Reavers Arm Hard Points instead of the small shields ! And I have mounted some ?on my W/Lord Titans, too. ?And the missile pod on #8 is a RAFM bit IIRC, for their version of a 40k Terminator ... that I "hijacked" from my B/Boxes ! ?And thanks again, BoyZ, ?I try to put too much detail on some of my stuff ! ? That's why it takes me so long to do stuff ! ?

Thanks for all the suggestions and pictures people. It's a bit difficult to get exotic brands like GZG where I am (rural Australia) but I should be able to do some things with plasticard.

Try ordering from Eureka minis, I believe that they're the Aussie distributor for GZG (or have rights to the molds, which amounts to the same thing).

Hi FS40k,
Very impressive!
I need to get my digital camera back and photograph some of my Rhino mods...
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Excellent looking stuff! How did you do the whirlwinds? Are they solid sections of plasticard filed into shape or is there another trick to them?

Thanks!
For the whirlwinds I got a plasticard rod with a square cross-section, about 5mm on a side I think, cut it into lengths and sliced off the corners on one side to make it roughly U-shaped. The central support is the same plasticard cut down the middle to make it half-as thick. The missiles are circles made by slicing up an epic banner pole.
