Tau Bullshark Part 2

So I have been working on this scratch build for the few months. It started out as tons of sketches while at work and it is reaching the final stages of completion. The mail hull was constructed out of balsa wood and then covered in plasticard. The gaps were filled in with greenstuff.


The finished product is not as rounded as the the original idea was, but I feel it still holds the Tau aesthetic.







The final step is to built the weapons systems for the ship. It is going to count as a "Storm Raven" so I'm thinking of two burst cannons (one on each drone), two side mounted Ion guns (they will count as a single Quad Ion Turret), and four Seeker Missiles. 

I'm hoping to get an airbrush soon and this will be the first project I paint with it.

Once this is all finished up the next project will be to build a "count as" Thunderhawk" code named Narwhal.
