Games Workshop Gamesday - Marco Colombo 2013

This years games day model has been announced as Marco Colombo



I am personally disappointed by the choice but the model looks nice enough with loads of detail lets hope they do a decent job with the finecast, hopefully we won't have a repeat of the white dwarf models. 

Marco Colombo is a renowned explorer of the warhammer world and many scholars credit him with the discovery of lustria.

Warhammer papercraft model - scratch build - Thunderhawk mark 2


A few weeks ago i made thunderhawk mk1 and i decided back then i could improve on the design and i was going to do so, the last few days i have made another thunderhawk mark one to familiarise myself again and improved on it where i could on the fly (mostly efficentiency, structural improvements and mistakes in the plans)
and then redoing the plans where i thought large improvements could be made ready to make a thunderhawk mark 3 which is significantly different

This is the original mark 1 from several weeks ago

This models improvements are 
  • reinforced crew compartment at front and merging the separate pieces of floor into one
