Ben's Big special project

So here's what I'm plugging away at!  Hopefully I'll be able to finish the thing in time.

The XV-109-GD "Gunn D'amm" pattern Riptide

More like GODDAMN pattern...

I might have a spare oval base, if you like.

Looks good! I like how most of the fig is not GW parts but still looks like it belongs.

Hey Mark, if you did have a spare big oval base I would totally take you up on the offer! Can offer cash or bitz in exchange

If I find it, you can haz it.

Found it. You can have it, I have no need for it. (I got an extra one with one of my Tzeentch Chariots).

Toss me a PM and we'll figure out the deets.

Yay! Thanks brah

Awesome model!

Are you going to have him finished in that more static pose, or are you gunna have him more dynamic?

He is going to be on a Gundam flight stand to be completely dynamic and airborne!

something like that but also on big oval base to work with the game

Awwww fuck yeah. That looks killer. Wouldn't expect anything less from ya ben!

Now if i can just find the time to sit down and work on the damm thing...

What bits are the toes/missiles? I think I can identify all the rest of them.

Looks like an awesome conversion. Did you end up buying the riptide kit? I notice you kept the jet packs, chest piece, main cannon assembly. Can't see many people selling those as bits. Unless you get the R'vana kit from forge world.

The toes are shoulders from the broadside missilefists, and various other bits are leftover from the broadside i used to make my commander ralai. The chest is the big shoulderplate from the broadside as well. I was able to order a few riptide bitz from an online store over ebay.

Progress!










Appropriate weathering will be applied near the end of production.

Moar progress!!

Zaku shield! Yes!

Even more progress!!  Just the shield and jetpack left to deal with, along with some more weathering.  Hopefully the flying stand arrives soon so I can get him on a base.

Well this is as done as he got in the time I had.  Still need to paint up the jetpack and make the base+stand pretty, but it's serious crunch time this week and got no time for painting!  However, he's presentable enough that I'll submit it anyways so here we go.
