As soon as I get my camera back, I will post the last pics of the lightning. I will then make a few more adjustments and a special display stand.

Canopy

This build is almost done. I have three techniques for framing the canopy.

1. I build the acetate canopy, then I cut strips from a sticky label and build up the frame.

2. I draw the frame on the sticky label and trim out the frame, then I place it over the clear acetate

3. Same as above but I trim the frame after it has been attached to the clear acetate. This method is good but leaves a sticky residue that has to be cleaned off if you want a clear canopy without smudges.

With this method, I edge the inside of the canopy with a strip of sticky label and then I can glue it to the cockpit without using superglue and incur the wrath of cloudy canopy.:wave::wave::wave::wave:

The end

This is just about the end. There are a few more details that I will do to embellish this flyer, but I believe that I will continue the rest on the Sci-Fi side of the house. That Thunderbolt is next, I believe that I have enough background info to build it. Enjoy the pics:wave::wave::wave::wave:

Lightning on the pad

The lightning needs a few more small details but for all practical purposes, it is finished.

I constructed the landing pad and posted the build in the Sci-Fi section of this forum. Here is the lightning on the pad and a portion of my figures.

The last one is a sheet of emblems.

Thank you Vortex, I hope that you enjoyed the build. I am still considering that Thunderbolt but I also have plans for my version of a Chimera.

That sir, is a medical style surgical knife with a #11 surgical blade. It is beacoup sharper than an X-Acto knife. I have a daughter in the medical field and she aquires the knife and blades for me. You can also purchase them at micromark.com.

thank silveroxide.
I use the same blade too. they cost ~ 5$ a box of 100 in my ville.

however I don't have that nice handle, I use an old bamboo chopstick.

Interesting that you mentioned the bamboo stick handle. I experimented with it a while back, it worked and I may try it it again, But at that time, I was using X-Acto blades.

Daymn, I need me at least a pair of them too. I'm gonna have way too much stuff for my next apocalypse game if all these cool models keep popping up. It just makes me sad that I have only my hands for transportation. D=

Edit: Ahem, awesome work btw.

Thank you for the comment. I am pleased that you like my works. There is a series on WK-40 I am working on but it will be a while before I start.:wave:

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the series, especially if the rest of it is this high quality. Once I'm done with my Basilisk battery I'll have to make a couple of Lightnings just to try.

That is an awesome build! Did you use references for all the smaller details, or did you just wing it(pardon the pun)?

Thanks guys, I have more Warhammer coming up in my new thread "Warhammer Armor and Things". I will attempt to build some of Patoroch's models and do some build threads on them, along with some of my insidious techniques. See you all there.
