| for the landing gear, why not just make a small rectangle of plasticard, bend one end upwards slightly, and add a couple of lengths of plastic rod for the leg and hydralics etc... |
Agreeing with Stormseer, another option could be a piece of plastic sprue filed down to make the 'foot' of the Thundab- sorry, the Thunderhawk - a narrow file could be used to work a few grooves to detail the lower surface, and the front upturned bit mentioned by Stormseer is a nice touch - in this case a thick piece of sprue is filed down leaving the front part angled. The 40K new Imperial Guard accessories sprue provides some great sprue.
If the Thunda - Thunderhawk is to sit on its undercrriage, I'd recommend narrow brass tubing for the struts, drilled into the foot and the Thun - derhawk body.
Must make some for Garglanda.
For the most part it is almost set but I am having troubles with the tail fin and the back since I won't get my pod racer micro machines for the engines to be coming in cuz I don't like to use the plastic tubes. Also I still have to made template on the heavy bolters and hinges.
