Title: WIP - 15mm Aurora Stealth VTOL in Corporate Livery with Agent
Post by: MrHarold on November 03, 2014, 01:33:58 PM
I'm working on the corporate version of the new, upcoming VTOL, the Aurora:

I'm painting the agent in the same colors. I'd imagine this belongs to an executive, or possibly a corporate "cleaner"...

Feedback is welcome!

It is still available for pre-order here:  http://www.clearhorizonminiatures.com and it comes with an unreleased, free, covert operates pack. (normally $2.99)

Gorgeous vehicle.  I would love one in 28mm.  I don't do multiple scales or I would buy one.  It really has a "GI Joe/Cobra" aesthetic that I like.

Thanks!

You know, you could always switch to doing 15mm ;)

Love this paint scheme on it! Could we get a shot of its rear end? I think that even on the "in flight" render the back door was open.  :D

I put up a video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4FYhFh2tW8 

That shows a pretty good overview of the model.

The Aurora class shuttle transitioned through the field barrier of landing bay Baker-9 of the Deep Space Orbital Research Facility. Through skillful navigation and the advanced technical specifications of the Aurora the craft was able to land without setting off any alarms.

The nacelles angled downwards and the craft settled on the landing bay floor, the interior pressure equalized with the bay's ambient pressure. As the pressure equalized the ramp's locking clamps disengaged and the ramp slowly folded down exposing a dark interior lit only by multi-colored status lights.

Without a sound a white pistol exposed itself from the interior, scanning the landing bay for any hostiles, it held its aim for a few moments before deciding that there was going to be no welcoming party.

The Operative slowly moved from the interior down the ramp with a super-natural grace. The red body suit offset by the back shoulder pads and accents. The mechanical spinal implant glistened with chrome as it flexed during the movement.

There was no mistaking the deadliness of this Operative and she had a job to do.

The Aurora Stealth VTOL is available for pre-order now and comes with an unreleased covert ops team. Available at clearhorizonminiatures.com

Completely missed that video on your youtube channel. Very nice models, must say that seeing the Nemesis prints really sold them for me. With all the Akira projects on here I'm even wondering if it could be used as a 28mm vehicle, kind of like a high tech quad...

I originally intended to use my helldivers as a infantry only "special ops" platoon in Fireteam andromeda, but al these cool vehicles your releasing...

Great work!  What's the perforated, metalic surface that you photographed it on in the second pic?
