Blessings of the Omnissiah: Avenger Strike Fighter 2 Complete

The second of the Avenger trio is now complete. I'm much happier with this build than the last - probably because i had a better idea of what i was doing! 


Engine detail and wing markings. I'm very happy with the markings on this Avenger. I almost went back to the first and re-did the markings, but decided that they should all look a bit different. That was the original idea after all.



Mechanicum standard base.


The cockpit is similar to the previous Avenger, but it was much simpler to build. This is mainly due to the use of the original canopies as the base to build on.


This is one of my favourite features on this Avenger, the tail gun. This will be a feature of the next Avenger as well as the first when i retrofit it!


The Punisher Cannons proxy for Autocannons was a good choice i think. The weapons aesthetic has much more continuity, and they generally just look beefier! I have a few more sets of these, so the other Avengers will be upgraded with them.

  2. Looks great. Might have to borrow the publisher cannons idea :-)

    Shane you used the canopies as I would have bought them off you to replace my dead ones :-)

  3. Excellent model. Like the tesla stern casher on a Mechanicum airframe, very characterful.

    1. Yeah that little addition really finished off the model I think! It will definitely be on the final Avenger and I'll go back and shoe-horn one onto the first!
