Banshee IIC kitbash WiP...
« on: 12 November 2023, 18:37:37 »
This is a collaboration between myself and Schwerpunkt Prinzip. The stats are all his. The only thing I changed up is; I swapped the Large Pulse in the LT to an ERPPC to allow for some much needed asymmetry vs the twin Large Pulse in the RT. This allowed for some additional visual interest, and better hailed back to the OG Banshee, I think. I still need to add some sculpey between the legs and the hips, and clean up some areas, but otherwise she's done... Anyway, hopefully Schwerpunkt Prinzip likes it (sorry I didn't have time to do progress updates). And hopefully you guys enjoy it as well.

Parts breakdown:
Torso - Kingfisher
Additional torso armor plate - Kingfisher
Head - Banshee
Torso SRM6s - Premium Timberwolf
Torso Large Pulse - Premium Timberwolf
Torso ERPPC - Banshee
Torso ECM Pod - 3D Printed
Torso side torso armor plates - 3D printed
Upper Arms - Banshee
Lower Arms - Atlas
Left Arm SRM6 - Wolverine
Legs - Banshee (cut and widened stance)
Leg armor plates - 3D printed
Lots of strat pinning
Some blood (don't worry-- isopropyl alcohol cleaned up the surfaces)

Instantly recognizable as a Banshee and yet still a wicked new gun load, I love it.  And having made a batch of custom minis myself I salute your fine work and effort to detail!

Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

Wow this thing would be terrifying to run into in the field.  This clearly took a lot of work, and looks great!  Well done!

If You would scrap left SRM6 and move right one on the arm, it would be a valid BNC-5S, which is one of my favorite assaults. Nice work.

Paint!

For what you had to work with, it looks like a good bash.  The OCD in me wishes that the SRM-6s were mirrored in the hole placement, but that would probably be too much work. 

Or not!  Have you considered cutting out a flat piece of plasticard and putting that over the SRM front?  Then either slice on or paint on some simple missile doors.

I'm working on it! I need to finish my current project, Jade Falcons, before starting work on this, otherwise I'll never get them on the table.

I made some very minor changes to IAMCLANWOLF's mod: I moved the leg armour to the shoulders, and I replaced the shoulder SRMs with Wolverine versions (Daemion, you got inside my head!).





I painted the Banshee blue in honour of the favourite colour of its creator.

Thanks, IAMCLANWOLF. You're the greatest!

Looks good.

But I am sorry, when I see it, all I can think of is Zeus for the movie Real Steel.
