Zenith 9. Captain Hornet

The digital artist Oyvind Tronnes Kiristiansen / Random Miniatures who created the Archie Robot figure was able to put together a version of Captain Hornets Hornet Hoverer.

Thinking of all the iconic vehicles for superheros, the Batmans Batmobile, Blue Beetles Bug, Goblin Glider, Fantastic Four Fantasticar,  Niteowls Archie Owlship, X-Men Blackbird and the Avengers Quinjet. I can now add the Hornet Hoverer  as a centre piece to my Zenith Project

Digital Hoverer


Most of the images of the Hoverer were with it in flight and its wings in motion but I cama across this one and was able to design some matching wings by myself in Blender.


Bug wing and my design based on the comic


initial build. bent BBQ skewer is the flight stand which I will paint black and I feel will have a more subtle look than transparent stands


I reprinted the main body with an added control panel (found on Thingiverse ) as it would be visible through the canopy so used the original and some more bits to create a crashed version. A excuse for a bit of a diorama and terrain piece that could be used on the table as an objective or cover if it crashes





Interior detail with control panel and control sticks


I used Eldritch Foundry to change the pose of the Captain Horet figure and create a pilot version





I rebased Captain Hornet so he would match up
