I really like that one. For some reason the over-sized head reminds me of the angelitos from Grim Fandango...

I really like that one. For some reason the over-sized head reminds me of the angelitos from Grim Fandango... Yeah, it's neat. I picked it because it was the closest to the art on the side of the AC-130 Spectre gunship (Azrael) that my friend's dad was a crew member on for a while during the Vietnam War. The art on the gunship was of the Grim Reaper holding and firing a Vulcan cannon. The pilot and gunner names are those of my friend's dad (who died suddenly from a heart attack back in 2002) and a friend of mine from my original gaming group who was a naval aviator and was killed in a flight deck landing mishap on the Enterprise in the late 90's, respectively. I thought it would be a fitting tribute to them to put their names on an aircraft.

On this subject I've just committed myself to added a Vendetta and Valk to the list. The Valk will be first I'm just waiting on the delivery... I decided to go with a very boring teeth and eyes! but for good reason, as to pair with the Valk in my fast attack choices are my WIP desert lizard rough riders made from the Fantasy Lizard men kit.
They are soft skinned (well, as much as a Tyranid is) with polygonal armoured plates as part of their skin in certain areas and along their back - sort of like you might imagine a dragon to have hard scales. I'm using this as a general paint scheme for the Valk which will have these armour plates hand painted on... so the teeth and face thing will make more sense in the grand scheme of the army.

There is at least one US based printer who does nose-art decals for model kits. Check ebay...

I would love to find the decal that is the same on the drop ship in the movie Aliens.

For my first Valkyrie I did the standard 'snarling teeth' thing, for the second (should start work on the detail work for it this week sometime) I'm going to hand paint a profile shot of my dog Logan who I had to put to sleep this May It will be my own personal tribute to a dog I loved dearly, and woe betide the guy on the other side of the table that shoots it down...

I think I will have my girl try her hand at painting them on my Aircraft, I don't really know what they will look like besides being pin-ups and named "Baby Girl" and "Women Child".
