Well i've been having a heap of trouble with the Falcon Grav Tank. The curves of the hull keep throwing me off, and because i dont have very good reference shots (i wish i had the model to work off) im guessing all the curvature! Here's my result:


So all i could do was scrap it and start all over again. Which i did!
Here i decided to tackle the underbody of the tank and try and piece it together rather than go full on into the main shape:

Can you purchase a model kit? They come in real handy for some projects. And normally the plans have top, side and front views of the model as well and it will also come with all the decals so you can scan them too! Or buy one of the games workshop books though you may have one already but i would go and try and find a model kit.

ozwolf: I could go and buy a model kit, but I'd rather save myself the AU$70 for this model and just guess the details!!

I have a friend who works at the local GamesWorkshop store who lends me models everynow and then when he takes stuff home to paint, but i can't just say get me this get me that
