It was built for my Eldar Army. Wanted something unique.

Nice. Couple comments (this is my personal opinion, you can ignore me if you want)

Based on what ive seen of eldar and tau, this looks like a captured jury rigged craft to me. 

Back story in my head. Eldar an tau fighting on planet, Eldar vehicle gets knocked out. Tau over run the position, find the downed craft. Rehash controls, Remount different weapons, etc. End up with a tau/eldar skimmer.

Thats just how it looks to me.

If you have a different back story id love to hear it. Usually if im kit bashing or scratch building a make up little back stories in my head lol.

As far as build quality goes, youve done a fantastic job.

Not sure if this gets to everyone that replied. Hope so Im a bit new to this monster called a computer. I actually didnt have a story for it to be honest. I have a box thats 4 feet square and full of junk parts. From time to time I go through it. find something that looks interesting and see what I can build.

 

Not very exciting but since Im home 24/7 dont have much else to do *LOL* What Im working on now are the matched set of Romulan and Enterprise from the old series. My first attempt at lighting them was a total disaster so those went into the junk box for later birth into who knows what. I got two new ones and Not having much luck with them either. Is there a site someplace that I can look at for lighting ships and such? and if so please send me a URL.

Groovy build, it has a very retro look to it.

I love kit-bashes because you can never have too many (or not enough) rivets. Stick out tongue

Very cool! I know nothing about the Warhammer universe but it's a very nice job. I've seen some clunkly looking kit-bashed stuff where you can tell where each part came from but you blended everything together perfectly. Yes

This is one of my most recent ones. Made it for Battlefleet Gothic and my Eldar of course.

 

Also when I am building should I take photos of the various stages of the build? Not shure what I could teach anyone but my wife and most of the towns people call me their friendly neighborhood Mad Scientist because Im always tinkering on something.

Thian:

Those are really cool too! Don't know anything about Battlefleet Gothic but that's an awesome paint scheme there.

Mad Scientist eh? Cool, people just call me a nut.
