Comments: I wanted to share some of my work in progress pics of my Stormbird. Been a labour of love over the last year and a half or so. The majority of work went on the actual build and painting inside the craft rather than externally which was fairly straightforward. I magnetised the side doors and rear ramp to open and close and while I was at it with magnets I made the canopy and nose fully removable as I didn't want to forever lose the details hidden in there and also did the Heavy Bolters underslung on the wings to rotate.
TOCs own Goddenzilla stepped in and helped me out by modifying the Landing Gear as it seemed too fragile for its many Kg's of mass. He replaced the main pistons with brass rod. And further modified the support struts and pinned them. Quite a chunk of work I massively appreciate.
I also heavily modified a Rhino for the cargo bay which was a lot more work than I realised it would be, making changes to the track width and exhausts to make it removable.
Also managed to track down some legit Forge World Land Raider doors for it and made some subtle changes to them to suit being on a flyer. (The vents and purity seals had to go)
My next plan is to finish the Sokar Stormbird and do a landing pad for it and also do a flight stand for it.

Mighty flying fortress!
Rhino inside the ramp
Exquisite paint job we come to expect from Princeps Adie H.
On a custom Landing Pad to be painted
Removeable nose to see the Techmarine crew
A Rhino being 'born' in the wild...
Adie's Warbringer looks on at the new requisition!
Fantastic internals taking more time to paint the details than the outside of the aircraft
