Scratchbuilt Fire Raptor
Scratchbuilt Fire Raptor This is a mixed-media scratchbuilt Fire Raptor, put together using paper, card, bits of plastic straw, greenstuff and lots of glue. I started with a papercraft template, and modified it as I went along. I stayed fairly true to the stock Fire Raptor look, but there are some subtle and some not-so-subtle modifications. The build has a fully decorated interior, and has a number of working hinged features, including the rear ramp, top hatch, cockpit canopy, wingtip VTOL jets and ailerons. The ballturrets can swivel left & right and can angle their barrels up & down. The landing gear is removable, and have doors that close to mimic the fully retracted look. The base is scratchbuilt using a shaped plexiglass rod, and has some battle field debris including a wrecked dreadnought, a dead space marine and chunks of tracks that are all left over from a previous scratchbuild. The pilot and gunners are cast from a master model I made out of greenstuff. No kits were bashed in the making of this model. In all this build took me the better part of 2019, and is now finally finished in a Blood Raven 9th Company color scheme. There are some more photos here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Pm3r1L
