Another part-finished project - this one had been sitting part-assembled (and asymmetrically assembled - I'd glued pieces on one side but not the other) in a box together with the kit's sprues and an eBay lot of bitz from various GW Marine fliers.
It is the Dark Angel Ravenwing flier - the Nephilim / Dark Talon or whatever they call it. I've used all the cool "gothic church" pieces on it and mixed-and-matched the weapons quite freely to get a cool look (it's not a gaming piece as there is no Sisters flier). There are some little conversions of the various Dark Angels symbols of iconography to better match the Ecclesiarchy.
My dad paints military models, and I have a new-found respect for aircraft - to be able to reach the cockpit with a brush, you need to leave the thing in many different pieces. And there is a VERY specific order to put this together in - when dry-fitting it, I've mucked that up more than once so I am going to have to make a list and check it twice!
For that reason, this thing might get called the Saint Nicholas plane . . .
Another successful day! Let me know what you think if you have such thoughts!
