@JTam Holy macaroni, that's AMAZING! I just occured to me that the door on his stomach means you can walk around in this guy's chest cavity! 🤘😆🤘

@Mark Dewis OK.... Narrow hipped if you prefer..
Something like this reproduction French Schneider tank ,built off of an old tractor, would have looked better. The suspension looks a lot closer to the original than the BMP suspension
@Mark Dewis those do look better. I have said a couple times thst I am not a scifi player a lot... but I did not really like the bulldogs. But... I do like their basic guns. But these look pre...
@JTam Assault engineers in 28mm would be nice! As far as i know, the only plastic soviet AE around are those from the DUST boardgame... wich are much too tall.
@Mark Dewis yeah, that's been one of my go-tos for minis in bulkier, figure-concealing get-ups: put a female head on it and it looks fine. Where separate female figures are needed are sets with cl...
@JTam They aren't wasp waisted at all. It's ALL in the shoulder pads. (Edit: Maybe a *little* in the jacket skirt.)
@Carsten Ohlsson Ladies in realistic chain or other heavy body armour basically look the same as men; it usually comes down to head choice. You could always mix ranges that have differing scales if...
@Vitor Soares Thanks. The next phase (which I've done for these) is to fill with Crayola air-dry clay. Then whatever texture plan is going to be used (default is PVA then dipped in coarse builder's...
@Stephen Sutton I'm pretty sure if you compare them to Caidian Guard, they're very much the same size. I have some spares of those, so I might do some comparison shots. I should also mention I don...
Eh, there's already a bunch of offerings. Just look at the discussions around William's conquistador and landsknecht armies. It certainly makes DoW and Empire the cheapest factions to get started ...
@Grumpy Gnome It's hard to pull off a cape.
Somehow I managed to avoid facebook even back when those things were called "social networks" instead of social media, and we didn't really know better. Now though, we do know, and I have every lit...
I don't see the hair as a problem at all. Mermaids have floating hair that is off the shoulders. Gorgons have non-napping snake hair. Oh, you're thinking underwater. I must have been...
@JTam I am reminded of this incident... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/28/fitness-tracking-app-gives-away-location-of-secret-us-army-bases
There are as you have said many villains... but to me the least interesting was the German Nazi Officer. I have seen plenty of interesting German Nazi Officer villains and was not one of them. He w...
Been a while since I read that one. And I'm pretty sure it was off my mother's boyfriend's shelves, so I don't actually have a copy floating around now... same with Schwejk I think. Shame, I probab...
@JTam Thanks man, i really appreciate it. I always thought that the renaissance period is a really slept on period of time with vibant armies, important battles and tie ins to other genres ...
Pictures of this amazing thing painted up: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/58922/plastic-multipart-giant At the bottom. (Just realized they were the same creature.)
@William Redford @Grumpy Gnome Finally saw "Cold Skin." Interesting. Well done. High production values. I enjoyed it enough. Certainly didn't feel like I wasted...
@Blutze I don't see the hair as a problem at all. Mermaids have floating hair that is off the shoulders. Gorgons have non-napping snake hair. Likewise with the poses...
@Estoc like @Grumpy Gnome wrote, it really depends on what is your ideia. Both kits are very good, but I tend towards the Late Romans, purely personal opinion.
@Mark Dewis they look like a nice generic kit for sci-fi. I like your basing, by the way 😁
@Grumpy Gnome I was fine with the ending. I can't really go into it without spoilers. I assume you are referring to the tall German as the main villain? Ah, b...
They look like nice figures, good buy, congratulations.
The book is a classic and should be mandatory reading. I honestly really like it.The 1979 was a really good adaptation. Let us hope this one will be good too.
@Grumpy Gnome Units (US Army) are collecting up phones before going into the "box" at the big rotation centers (NTC, JRTC, etc.) The enemy drops arty on where ever three or more...
@Grumpy Gnome @Atlas Allen-Manning @Jerome Klahr Speaking of the War of 1812.... This outstanding conversion was posted on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/460868411...
I regret ever joining Facebook in the first place, and encouraging others to do so “back in the day”. Oh how naive I was then. I am very glad I never got into TikTok, Twitter or Instagr...
@Steven StGeorges Thank You Again. As you said, not a lot of English language source material and not something easy to Google either. I found the WW1 "Forlorn Hope" type...
@Grumpy Gnome The good news is wait another 15 years and Facebook will slide into oblivion. The bad news is we will just be communicating via 4 second videos set to music via a Chinese...
@Mark Hoffman Yup, looks about right: (Trailer screenshot). (BMP) Good on them actually making a working mockup instead having a crap CGI tank floating along the battlefield. &nb...
@Mark Dewis Nice work. They do look better with the arm swaps. Reduces the super hero kiddy toy proportions of them. When the weapon is held in front of the torso, or where you...
@Grumpy Gnome There is also an Enclave power armour sprue coming in hard plastic as well, the above being the Brotherhood of Steel (and Outcast I suppose) sprue. Its Fallout 3 weapons with updated ...
Awesome, it's a good time to be into this stuff.
I think the proportions are intentional. They're "bulldogs", so naturally they lean into the large head and shoulders typical of heroic scale models a bit more than others, to a degree that it beco...
I remember watching either the first version (late '30s), and the modern one, with E. Borgnine & Ian Holm. It was one of the first, realistic movies to show the horrors of WWI, and for its time...
They seems very good for mixing/kitbashing, adding to them some ordnance or gear such as from Anvil Industry's or Pig Iron's surely would make great minis
I think it really depends on your priorities for your projects as there are no WGA kits to steer clear of at this point. Each kit stands on its own merits but also provides excellent kitbashing pot...
I intend to buy 2 WGA sets to combine with my existing persians and irish. I intend to get the goths and currently am torn between the late romans for chain armored bodies and the skeletons. Do you...
You Know this forums not just for the fun of learning to model. and paint or it`s exellent social. The forum allows, amazing info, to be passed on, from member to member .This side of the pond. I h...
My initial impression of the Bulldogs is that they were oddly proportioned... but on closer inspection it appeared mostly to be because of the shoulder pads. The legs, chest and beret head pieces a...
@JTam Far from perfect but quite an enjoyable zombie film in my opinion. Except for the ending that is. And the main villain, he was forgettable. So many tv shows/movies really have trouble c...
Modiphius looks to be releasing Fallout Power Armor as multipart plastic kits in the near future.
Now lets make some Rocket pods in a Hydra-70 APKWS kinda Style
And Here a few pictures with a squad of nearly finished Clones Now the real question is: should I stay with the Phase I theme and only give the NCO's and officers color markings or give them...
I finally added the Doorgunners to the gunship
