Deathstrike Missile Launcher Conversion

I made this conversion a while back, but I wanted to share it here.

















I also made a youtube series about the conversion.

I made the conversion with the help of a "Military Playset" toy.. The Playset is made by Boley. And I managed to find a picture of it online at Boley's excellent website: www.boleycorp.com/products.php?category=C14

Looking good. xanad0r, you and Cheminhaler are doing great work distracting me from how terrible I think deathstrikes are ;D

That is epic!

Emptiehat: death strikes are sexy!

Great conversion! Couple small suggestions: the bags around the missiles and the .50 cal ammo looks out of place as there is no .50 cal and the bags would burn up in flames when the missile launches

There is a visibly mold line on the lasgun in your image, I hope you take care of that, as beautiful conversions like this deserves better.

Haha, thanks. I built this so long ago, they didn't have a model for it back then. I just wanted to build an epic model in 40k scale. That was really the goal.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely have to attack the mold line. As for mismatched ammo, really I was just trying to fill in the very blank look of the additions. The blanket behind the missile is a strange choice, I agree. Don't know what I was thinking! haha.
