40K Squat Iron Gyro

thingiverse

This is the inaugural posting of the Squat Iron Eagle Gyrocopter, reimagined for the 28mm Warhammer 40K universe. The original model hails from Epic 40K, a vintage game featuring miniature models that are small yet rugged. In this iteration, I've transformed the Gyrocopter into an Astra Militarum Valkyrie ("counts as") with the desired weapon loadout at the time. Future plans to develop more options for Valkyries and Vulture "counts-as" weapon choices remain pending. If fellow enthusiasts would like to contribute their own versions, I would be eternally grateful. This posting showcases the complete Gyrocopter model scaled up to 28mm Valkyrie size (approximately), as well as the individual components that were used for my own print and assembly without supports. Others may be able to optimize these parts or create a new assembly with less printing time by hollowing out the pieces, utilizing their extra time or enhanced cognitive abilities.
