[BFG] How to make Space Marines fleet with minimal cost?
« on: May 05, 2013, 05:15:17 PM »
Soon, according to the news, we all might need alternative way to get BFG ships due to lack of original production. Let's accept a chllange! Inspired by Khar home-made fleets (chceck out ' Let's build some ships.' topic) I tried to construct a marine ships as low-cost as i can. These are first results:


About 3 full days of hard work. Big thx for Khar for basic (and further I hope) painting.

Now the best: there is NO W40k bits in those models. Hull is basically made of old motherboards. Few small bits from F-5E Fighter model.

How do you like it?
