Dune Ornithopter

By Mike Walston

This is my build of Revell's 1/48 scale "Dune" Ornithopter. I airbrushed it with a gloss black and silver mix to give it that oil slick-like Harkonnen Geidi Prime finish, then weathered it with pastels. Outside, I added a House Harkonnen crest over the windshield; then I detailed the interior, complete with Piter De Vries' logo drawing on the hull. The design is an interesting boilerplate gothic look--It also looks like a steampunk P-38. Another view of this build can be seen in the reader gallery of FineScale Modeler magazine's December 2014 issue.
