    Thanks, that was the target idea.

    My only issue, and this is with all venoms really, is that the capacity is 5, yet it's practically the size of a raider, looking at the pic and the flying base for scale. I'd be very surprised if the GW venom ends up being a different size from the ones that turned up in the contest, as well.

    Not that I won't take any at some point, they are badass, I just don't get how such a large model only has 5 spaces, and I could probably get more on the model itself, while a SM rhino can't fit but 6 guys in it, yet has a cap of 10.

    It makes it hard to fit them in an army, other than for trueborn blaster teams, though, since I can't buy one for a 20-man warrior squad, and then treat it like a Viper.

    Last time I looked, you had a pretty big lead, as well you should.

    I liked that other guy with the 3, but his integration of the two pieces wasn't as clean. I still haven't seen a super clean solution to my liking for joining the Vyper canopy to the vertical sides of the Raider pieces.

    Billy! I voted for you, and not just cause you're pretty cool. Your entry is by far the best. Nice work on the weathering/mottled body panels, it looks very realistic. It bothers me that so many of the other entries have body panels of a single uniform field of color, with just some sloppy edge highlighting.
    Cheers to you! and go team Austin-area!

    Yeah, I agree. I think thats why I opted not to actually connect them, but to leave it floating like a fairing or nose cowl on a sportbike. I think that actually helps the speed illusion and adds more visual depth to the model.

    Thanks, man. I appreciate that coming from such a conversion hound as yourself.
