Landing Craft - 2

A ways back when, I talked about making a landing craft a-la starship troopers for my guard to use in place of valkyries. Well I just read this article which shows a brilliant conversion of a storm-raven gunship using a valkyrie as base, and looking at it there is a lot there that I think would go perfectly in creating a starship troopers landing craft.

I recently bought an old valkyrie from someone at the local game store, cost me £10, and I'm going to see if I can't pull it apart and have a go at making something from it before I start working on my new-in-box valkyrie.

I might just have some real content to post here before too long.

Guard landing craft

So, it seems I may have struck a nerve with a few on my army idea, I've had a lot of positive comments, advice and support since beginning this blog only a week or so ago.  Possibley the best has been from Darkmolerman who seems to have taken the idea I've had for a Valkyrie conversion in the theme of Starship Troopers and gone ahead and shown just how it should look and could be done.  Below are the pics he sent to me, they're great:

What can I say, pretty much in one.  I'm going to keep it closer to the valkyrie, it'll be a bit more like the small lander that extracts the troops from the Whisky base on P. 

Huge kudos to Darkmolerman for the work and encapsulating ideas in my head far better than I ever could.

Additionally, after receiving this, I had a quick look online myself and found a couple of nice little sights I want to remember and will probably be visiting many times in the future, Starship Modeler, and this image of the smaller lander.
