"McDonald Dropship WIP" Topic

Following off of this thread – TMP link

I figured I would put my update in the SF boards where it belonged.

Here is the WIP shots. I decided to add it too my 15mm stuff so converted to fit them(see link above for 28mm scale pic against base toy.) I am quite proud of the wings as they were in my bits box as section separator for the box itself. I welcome all advice either way, so CC away.

Echo Base this is Bravo Tree, At DZ and dropping the package… Heading to base to refuel, Out.

Superb work there, DZToe – a really great piece of conversion!

Well done! Looking forward to seeing the painted version.

Keep em' comming!

starting to look like something out of star wars or the little lanfer from the TV series V

Cool !!!

Must admit, I wasn't very convinced when you posted about them yesterday, but you've done a great job converting it so far!

I really like the conversions you did, my daughters are going to be so happy we get to go to MickeyDs today for lunch ;)

Very nice conversion!

What are the bits you covered the holes with and what are the wing strut bits?

I would suggest making the view part of the rhino bit larger and wider to give it more of a cock pit feel.

Mikey D's for me today too lol.

Man, bad luck today no nerf for me.

Anyone able to help me out? I'll paypal the HM amount + shipping.

Thanks.

The bits for the rear exhaust are rhino gunner bit's I think. The exhaust holes are where a marine head would go. I got like 2 dozen of them in a bits trade ages ago so I really cannot tell you what SM vehicle they go to 100%

The wings are cut are underside;

Cut down gorkamaorka/speed freaks rams. I used the one with 3 big spikes and cut off the spikes and then the excess mounting bars. That was the base glued right to the toy.
Then I took and used half of a old vehicle launcher, the 2 piece square ones and with a very slight trim glued them to the wing piece. Once that was dried I glued the wing to at an angle to the Ork ram bit.

Half of a rhino door added more bulk to the top of the wing and half of a turret door was added to the underside. partly to hid the joint from the cut ork ram, but also to bulk it up down there as well. I did have to file off the little handle on it to get it to sit strait.

I have no clue as to what the 4 bits are that are on top of the chassis and wings. They are some sort of IG or SM vehicle bit. I was going to take a few pics but my wife snuck out with both of our digital cameras today for a work function so it will be later tonight before I get one back and I will take more pics then.

The cockpit has been giving me some troubles. I haven't found quite what I want for it yet but I have a small pile of parts trying to get the shape that I wanted.

I am also working on some landing gear but sofar it's a fiddly affair and I might scrap it and go a different route.

I am half way tempted to get a second one as I wanted to try a bulkier rear wing look like this;

We will see I suppose.

What the hell was that made from?

FOOD WAR!!!!!!

LOL, CC

I played around with piles of bits adding and removing but in the end I decided that less is more and only added to the cockpit and a underslung missle launcher from an epic Titan I think.

I have it undercoated right now but have not added paint yet.

I am not a 100% sure about the cockpit but I will paint it up and if I am wrong I am going to try and sculpt what I want.

Hmmm.

So, Nerf foam stuff takes paint well then? I would think it would dissolve or something when sprayed.

Dan

Well the basis was plastic, I was surprised the darts were plastic too. The only thing that was foam was the targets.

Ah. Very cool!

Thanks.

Dan

Been dealing with the start of a cold. I hope to be able to put a bit of time into painting tonight but we will see.

Dropzonetoe,

Did you finish painting the dropship?

Thanks.

Dan
