miscellaneous: deep strikin' santa iii

Sorry for the significant lack of updates lately. I've been busy, but I've unable to post what I've been working on just yet. As a member of the Freebootaz forum, I participate in our annual Secret Santa drawing, affectionately known as "Deep Strikin' Santa". While I'm still finishing up the present for my giftee, I came home from work yesterday to find this package on my doorstep...


Inside I found primed sprue with Necron-stuffs...


...and underneath the sprue I found a flying stand and partially completed model!


Some unusual wires offered more than one connection point between the two pieces. A little jiggery-pokery later, I found that the base and model's Wonder Twin powers combine to form...


...a totally badass, BigBadBull Special! This guy is a living legend on our forums due to his insane ability to light-up Games Workshop kits like they were designed for it. I've yet to see anyone else with this guy's wiring talent. And now I've got one of his projects. That's awesome.

Not only is it a light-up piece of kit, it's also the first Necron model I've ever owned and an obvious centerpiece for my next army. The question is, do I finish assembling it as a Command Barge and re-jigger my list to include it, or do I try and commission BBB to make me a second one for the dual-Annihilation Barges I've listed up already...

P.S. Sorry for the poor iPhone pics. I'll be sure to pull out the real camera when I paint it up.

P.P.S. I plan to post up pics of my present to him by the end of the month.
