decided i wanted it to hold more passengers, originally thought about opening up the front hatch, but decided to move the engine up front, remove the engine housing & re-deck it!
cant decide on colors, the general color scheme for my reapers is black grey & red, was thinking about just making it a darker red, but it's not gonna look as good as a custom if it's too close to the original. gonna keep the hull the same, how about a dark grey for the top? or gun metal?
finished the morays for it, black & red with copper face plates.

oooooh ... this is gonna be good !

I dont see a big issue with keeping the original colour scheme ?

nice to see some "work in progress" pics !

Black top and red underside match it to the unit so it ties in with them

It's not going to end up looking like this is it?

[Ross SC]

yeah, think i will probably keep it the same, might do all the new decking in gun metal. finished my drunken captain, still dont have a name for him & need to find a bottle for him!

wanted insignia for the reapers & figured it should be skull related, but as they are kinda a cobra splinter group i wanted it to be linked...........
this will fly a pirate flag, might just use the shadows as homage!
