FLYING TURKEY

Upon the release by GW of their Helldrake model, it soon picked up the nickname of the flying turkey because of it's ungainly look, not long after the release I received one as a gift from my inlaws, I think it was for my Birthday, knowing that I liked flyers and had a Chaos army. A very thoughtful gift even if I wasn't in awe of the model itself.
Having looked at the kit I decided I wanted to make it look more like the Hellblade be Forgeworld as if it had originally been a fighter that had suffered demonic possession, so here is my rendition

Like how the wings turned out and I think look better than the original version seen here

Also brings it more in line with the Hellblade seen here

That's it for this post with another grey model now in colour, so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

      Thank you Frank, it’s very rewarding when an idea works out plus I’ve got some spare bits to maybe build another model with

    It looks to be a big beasty, it's always good to change from an undercoated piece to a finished one.

      Thank you John, it is a very nice feeling indeed, although I've not been undercoating the newer GW models as their detail isn't very deep, so rather than filling it with primer I've been painting straight on the plastic

    Almost like a possessed spaceship fighter, I like the idea. A brilliant conversion.
