Vostroyan Hydra Complete

This model was a bit of a labour of love, mainly due to getting the crew right. Its been a long journey for this model! It just didn't feel Vostroyan enough for me with the crew from the original set, so i was determined to get the Vostroyan models right. Truth be told it was the gunner that gave me the most hassle, but it was worth it!



The oh-so-important crew!


The troublesome gunner! He was a plasma gunner before he was re-deployed to the Hydra! This meant a lot of chopping,hacking, filing an filling to get it right and make it fit.


This guy was easy, i just stuck him on the deck!!


Of course, everything is magnetised. He's had a few run out's and I'm glad i did go with the magnets, otherwise it'll be a pain to transport!

    Brilliant conversion! The use of the old metal vostroyans looks excellent and the magnet idea looks like a terrific idea.

    Very nice. And very Vostroyan. Apologies if you'd already posted and I missed it, but what colour are using for Vostroyan armour ?

      Thanks, it's a custom mix of 2:1 Komando Khaki : Fortress Grey (or whatever the colour equivalent is now!)
