converted forge world turret

Having picked up one of the ageing Forge World Night Spinner conversion kits, I wanted to update the design and bring it in line with the newer Firestorm kit. This serves as an alternative design to the more recent plastic combined Fire Prism/Night Spinner turret.

date: 2010 - present (work-in-progress)
components: 1x Forge World Night Spinner conversion kit, 1x Firestorm turret base, 1x Falcon turret top, 1x Falcon cockpit, 1x Forge World Eldar Hornet pilot, neodymium magnets (various sizes), styrene rods (various diameters) brass rod, Green Stuff
