Not bad, but aren't those puppies a bit big? I have a template to make some that GW release a while back... But those give me a GREAT idea for a bunker actually.

Prehaps if they could be made smaller and some seat harnesses modeled on the inside they would look better for squads. I think they look too big even for a dread.

Yeah, it woudl look better, but the website gives you dimentions, so you can change the size i currently have 3 2 for tac sqauds and a largeer one for termies. im still tryin to find out how to model the teleport homer on it though

Model a teleport homer on a squad you mean?
You could add something that looks like the IG vox casters on the backpack of a few men.

model a little bump (like a rivet or something) and then paint it bright red for a homer

I made a small teleport homer conversion using an auspex, scope, and a small bit of paperclip.

Here is the OFFICIAL french GW template from long long ago. Sadly, I can not find the instructions. Only the template. Enjoy though!

actually those are just rhinos with the treads covered up and a few minor adjustments

what i do for my homer was i took a little bit of sprue with a raised bump and painted it the normal armour and just painted the bump a very bright red

I think with some puzzle work we can figure out how to put it together, to me it looks like your supposed to print it twice, and all of those little thin rectangles go on the sides of the "wings"

edit: oops i'm dumb...never mind it tells how many times you need a piece

here an idea.

ever open the big costco saranwrap box after using the wrap all up?
inside you'll find 2 plastic frames that are used to hold the tube (tube is good for other terrain pieces too)
they have 6 sides and a raised center.

all you have to do is make the sides (all can drop or just 1 or 2 your choice) and put a solid pole up thru the middle to be the storm bolter and/or deathwind launcher mount.

i've got 4 that i'm working on now. i'll post up some pics as soon as i can.
