      It's important that these war-machines go into to battle ready for any challenge!

      I'd wager that if that model was dropped it would have a fighting chance.. like Cadia broke before the guard the resin parts would before my pins!
      Jesting aside when I said dropped I should have qualified what was meant more. The mounting block was designed to survive a drop of around 6-inches as might happen if grip was lost when moving it about the gaming board. It would be able to survive that.

    • @leakycheese
      @leakycheese  Рік тому

      Thanks Steven!
      I used a hand-held pin vice to drill these holes which does work but takes a bit of effort and time to do. On the plus side it's gentle going with lots of opportunity to keep the hole on the correct alignment.
      You could equally use a cordless electric hand drill as well - much quicker as long as you are careful to drill in on target. Especially so on the landing gear as if you go off-line you might punch through the side of the strut.

    I bought one last week, and started assembling it yesterday. On the lower rear fuselage there are chamfers that are supposed to match up with one on the wings, but there is a mismatch in the lengths so the wings cannot sit tight against the body.
    I'm going to cut and extend the fuselage chamfer, I cannot do anything with the ones on the wings since they're needed for the landing feet wells; has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Also, it sucks that Forge World have since discontinued all Land Raider doors. I'm going to 3D print some Raven Guard embellishments instead.

      Okay, I've got a bit more time to think about this now, let me see. I believe I used the following magnet sizes, all Neodymium plated with Nicked.
      These should be N52 grade:
      Nose ramp 2x1mm
      Canopy 3x1mm
      Missile/pylons 1x1mm
      Attack wing retaining mounts 1x1mm
      These can be N35 grade:
      Attack wings 5x3mm. For these I mounted two sets of magnets per wing. On each mount I used two magnets so that's a total of 8 per side or 16 for the model.
      Hope this helps!

    This video was really helpful building mine, I used 2x3mm brass rods to cantilever the wings in the end: imgur.com/OOYnyM7 . How much would you charge to do a Stormbird for me? heh...

    £450 ? Wow, a £125 increase in 5 years......?

      This Thunderhawk kit was released in 2017 and cost £450. Current price (September 2024) is £598. According to the Bank of England Inflation Calculator £450 in 2017 is worth £585 today. So given we’ve had a pandemic and a war that caused the collapse of Western European strategic energy policy, I’d say this kit price has tracked inflation very closely.

      Haha, no that's not my line of work, but I've been involved in some big spend work over my career so know a bit about costs.
      Seems like there won't be much more Forge World to buy if current trends continue, lots of models have been disappearing over the past 3 months. Even the Sokar is showing as sold out online!
