...I think I'll call it the Gun Shy Pattern Stormbuster, because after the Internet destroyed my first humble effort, I find I'm a bit worried about the reaction to this one.
And this from the guy who's made a mark with Gonzo Journalism, tweaking the collective Blogosphere's snotty nose.
It's a hard life. Here's the link for the original Storm Raven release:
A Strictly Average Storm Raven
This is it; the biggie - my most viewed article, with somewhere over 5K pageviews the last time I checked. God help me, it's what I'm known for.
The Dyson Pattern Storm Raven...
This is the followup, where I was still struggling on the hook. I still had pride, you see. Gauthic said the Dyson Pattern Stormbuster couldn't hold 6 Assault Marines, so I stuffed them in there and proved it to the world!
Until some enterprising soul asked where the pilot would sit.
*sigh*
You know, it's entirely possible this was the trauma Not Brent was born from.
From that it appears a curious mixture of a Star Trek Shuttlecraft and a flying squirrel.

What'd you do to it exactly? I see landing gear, but were those always there?
ReplyDeleteI will say, even after my comments at BoLScon, I still think it's endearing, like an ugly puppy or something. What else do you plan on doing to it?
ReplyDeleteOh so you're the guy with the Ugly-As-Sin Storm Raven! I'm kidding, but I do remember taking a picture of that at BOLScon. Its not a bad model by any means, but I think changing the front glass-plate-thingy (Why is it green?) and making the side fins a little thicker would really do wonders for the model. Good luck Brent, at least you had the courage to make one, then take it to a convention of 300+ people AND put it on the internet.

I had fun taking to Wargames Con... keep in mind, that was months after all the mocking and tears.
ReplyDelete...
Maybe not the tears.
I took it for fun. :)
I didn't know turds could fly :) hehehe
ReplyDeleteBut I didn't think it was that bad. I am just looking forward to getting my real flying brick of hate. Cuz that is what it flies on. Hateraid and baby blood. Cuz that is 40k!!!
Pretty sure there's Gypsy Tears flyin that thing as well. I'll be picking one of the flying bricks for myself.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teenager I owned a 1972 Covette, it was primed red-brown when I bought it. One day, I was washing my primed pride and joy and my grandfather walked up, took a puff of his cigar and said " Son, you can't polish a turd." Then he went off to drink beer and yell at strippers....for some reason this model makes me recall those events. Keep polishing, Brent.
ReplyDeleteBrent, check your email and get back with me.
