...but I love it anyway!

It started out as this:

I decided to take the plunge and get it milled and anno'd. Now it looks like this:

Big thanks to Jared at Destructive Customs and Gruntbull for getting this done!

A few things still on the way, performance-wise, but otherwise it's finished. Whoo!

Vikings can be had reasonably cheap nowadays.

DC milling is 350 if memory serves
And that anno was probably around the 150 area.

Its nice, but its /another/ Stormtrooper FSP.

FSP was $275 + 15 shipping and anno was gruntbull's standard $110+shipping for 10 pieces dust. The gloss black pieces were all a matching black before anno, so I just didn't anno them.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, it makes me happy :clap:
