of Siam Han and Brother Sgt James speak so highly of this ”contraption”, I felt
I had to have a go at it.
I am not a
big fan of the Finecast-models, so I decided to have a go at the bit-box and
see if I could scratch build a Thunderfire Cannon, hoping it would not look to awkward….
With bits
from a Redeemer, City Sprues, Nephelim fighter, Plasticard, Tamiya 1:35 scale Panther and PzKf
III bitz, I started out building one.

Adding
tracks from a old Tamiya 1:35 Tiger kit (splitting the track in two, adding more
plasticard and some left over Forge World bits), I managed to finish a model I
hope makes an ok presentation of the idea of a Thunderfire Cannon.
Back in
2008, I bought a Tecmarine set (with servitors’). I always felt the vereos arms
where ”over done”, so I selected some of them and pinned this old metal model
to the point it could be used as a weapon. Anyway, this is how the models
turned out:
Next – my old
Vanguard Veterans needs a makeover!

Looks great! If I didn't know I would have thougt the thunder fire cannon was a "original" model, if you know what I meen. So very good job:)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure we'll all learn to loathe that contraption before too long...
ReplyDeleteUntil then, I can only agree with IH that it's a great-looking janitor and trolley set. ;)
Like it and dread it ;) Fantastic piece of work! Looks "original" :)
