The same gaps were present on the underside of the 15mm version. Totally not noticeable though unless you flip it over.

Well, it was fixable as I hate gaps in my models.

That looks fairly large compared to your other space ships, or am I misreading the size?

Looking forward to the build.

Your batmobiles are looking pretty sweet too

I took pics of it alongside the largest Garmillas mini plane I have a 100ft long beast, and the SA-77 is still more spread out, and also has other tricks up it's sleeves

Cockpit/forward section with possible rescue compartment.Sensor Barbs added

The secondary Particle weapons
[/img]


Tail/wing/drive/weapon system
[/img]

Both full outfitted sections for the rear
[/img]

Next to the torpedo bomber, the new ship is a ship, less a fighter bomber than a full patrol gun-boat! Besides the wing mounted Warp/Ion engines for normal space and making FTL jumps, the weapons are 2 x ship killer, and 4 x multi-role missiles, 4 x particle beam cannons of 99MM aperture, and the main long range firing 280mm Particle Beam lance, automated 33mm triple barreled particle pulser MG system. Crew of 2, and a shield system. Has roughly a 2 week mission parameter. Standard carrier load out of 30 craft of this kind.

Advanced cockpit uses armored canopy that pulls back if the virtual view system crashes or is damaged, the virtual view allows the crew to see space as if it were a clear canopy, but also can zoom in on images the sensor suite detects for investigation or identification, including advanced weapon lock on technology.

the attack wheelis look cool...i doubt one would have noticed the gaps after priming... but i understand your point here...

the flying cannon thingy.... i don´t get... guess you have to be a fan of that whole movie setting to really appreciate this model...

It's from the old Sega CD game, Silpheed. There were sequels on the PS2 and the 360.

I've actually kind of been wanting that kit for a while. How was the assembly and parts fit? This was Plum's first game-based kit, so I've been very hesitant. I'd bought the Atelier Sai Vic Viper kits back when they came out and those things had terrible parts fit. I'd prefer not to repeat that mistake with this thing.

Yes, why leave gaps when one can fill them? I am also running low on gray stuff, time to order more come the next month!

True indeed.

I may get the pack of 3 power suits that look like his next month, Make it a 4 man heavy armor merc squad. His waist also pivots, so, action poses (limited), may be possible.

I give credit for Wyrmalla and his Fallout thread for inspirig the headswaps and making use of the Dust Powered armor for the bodies.

Very nice man. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with them.

Thanks, I can't wait to get images of B.o.S and Enclavers from FO 4 if they have enclave so I can paint them accordingly.

Well, my room mates went out to get their money that they were owed from Wells-Fargo, I was expecting just the pizza dinner to celebrate, they dropped a Hanomag in my hands, and nt just any Hanomag, a very nice Tamiya Hanomag which I will also make a roof for, and I have a turret started, I will finish it, and make it part of the Hanomag. And at a time I am trying to want to build my APC/IFV forces up for the hundreds of troops.

I like surprises like this!

Well miniaturemarket hit me hard with their sales today (one day only sale) plus they have the dust stuff restocked, but you still outdo me every time I stop by you have a new haul and get it painted up faster than I can keep track of.

That Hanomag looks great, plus preassembled tracks

I managed to stay away, though they were great sales. It was a near thing.

New hanomag looks nice, I'll second Theo on the niceness of ready tracks.

now there is a classic kit....cool! and due to the scale and if you play your cards right you could even use some bitz of the crew...!

Well, it is cramped enough for 28mm figures, so 1/35 scale shows it would be a tight squeeze for a 10-man squad of 6+ft German soldiers! the 28mm ones do however sit perfectly fine on the passenger benches.

Crew added
[/img]

I used 2 men to make the driver, and second man. the remaining 8 have to share room with the stem I am using for the turret, so this is one heavily loaded Hanomag!

Upper deck plating is added

Turret is going here

Lovely work on what is already a really cool model! Darn them Germans certainly had the best looking machines and kit back then! Really looking forward to seeing how the turret comes out and how it interacts with the interior of the truck! As always the sheer volume of work here is awesome!

i just realized that the DF models have indeed so many sitting minis.... i think i need to see if a bitz seller might be my next big friend

and good looking progress on the turret extension...always a nice thing to see how many roads lead to rome... i build and start such items way differently... you always build from the inside to the outside... i do it the other way around...weird^^

Really looking forward to seeing the finished Hanomag.

They were making interesting things, yet they also made blocky Panzers for their early war tanks,,,,loads of shot traps, Very odd when they had the angled armor of the hanomags and other lighter armor vehicles.

Yep, and with 2 Keilerkopfs, I wound up with 20 sitting position soldiers I can use in other vehicles.

Well, the inside worked to the outside also allows me to have made some very sturdy models Vik,

Interior of the original is very cramped compared to the DF Hanomag

DF Hanomag has room in between the troops so they can do rescues whereas the older model is knees knocking across the limited space as the guys have to sit with their feet and knees rather taking up the aisle completely.

Love popping back here and seeing that you have purchased the entire releases of every manufacture of the last 2 to 3 months

Plus you have some cool roommates tell them from me I shared a house once all the bastards did was steal gak and leave the milk out

Anyway back to the cool stuff crazy painting check, tons of models check, reviews check, conversions now that is cool I like where you went with that.

The Hanomag looks awesome especially with the added turret, I like the way you stripped back the detail on the kit leaving only the rivets (of course).
We was having a discussion the other day on FB about using other scale miniatures and what would work best for 28mm / 30mm, the overall answer was anything LOL although some good tips came out of it.

Main ones being 1/48 all though good in size comparison needs to be widened for that heroic look, as for 1/35 needs to be shortened to give that squat like look of 40k.

Although a lot of people said even some 1/35 could benefit from widening, which made me think (to late now of course ) maybe if you added some PC strip down the middle you might have gotten a bit more foot room in the back.

However I think it looks pretty cool as is and most vehicles seem cramped to be honest especially military use anyway, I like the way it looks like an earlier version "predecessor" to the DF version.

Will you be adding any stowage to the out side, maybe some grip handles or side ladder ?

I make small purchases of the newest stuff, can;'t get the whole ranges all at once, LOL

I will tell them LDD

While 1/48 and smaller 1/35 scale can work for the 28mm games ranges, GW went comically huge so that the real life scale weapons of the 1/48 and the 1/35scale even seem puny. Present, HB models are allegedly 37mm shell tossers, yet they have 100-125mm sized muzzle openings, and the Battle cannon swallows 125mm cannons with plenty of spare room, making it seem more like 1/35 250-300mm openings!

1/35 scale Pz-II is exactly chimera footprint in size.

I was going to use screen materials ad rods to make a stowage bustle on the rear and maybe sides of the turret. I will be adding a hatch and hand grips on the rear back roof, 3 x viewports and gunports covers along the sides of the Hanomag. Maybe some hand grabs for lifting up a tooper to reach the turret and such on the sides of the turret as well.

Ha sounds like it's all covered then with those details added should blend nicely, I like the idea of a roof hatch and ports should make a great chimera stand in.

How do you work out your buying choices then ? Is it an on going theme or just a case of I like that I am having it ?

Yes GW scaling is completely messed up! But I kind of like the craziness of it, it's the childhood thought process that anything goes plus I use the rule of cool over reality when producing models if it looks good it works

The rule of cool rules my choices. If it looks cool, and I like it, I try to make it work, so hence the idea of the Khadrovian Union being a host of different worlds where they have the same book of philosophy and the red star uniting them all. Once the others find them they go over the similarities of their shared background from that same colonizer fleet that got scattered and they work on re-uniting against the harsh universe. I have it all set to also work on the Warpath system and other game systems.

Of course my Enforcers in DZ/WP would be against the Union as it is a non corporate body politic

The fact that the Leman Russ' BC is too big is also shown as it not only can eat a 125mm gun from a 1/35 scale Russian tank,,,,they originally listed it as a 120mm gun itself.


And it is a 28mm scale tank that has a gun far larger than 1/35 scale MBT cannons

Well that's an imperial mm (mega meter), not a millimeter . See the emperor IS compensating for some other short comings. it's the same thing that makes everyone believe that Napoleon was a shrimp. The French inch was larger than the imperial inch so when they said he was 5'2" or whatever, he really translated to be closer to the current 5'9" so was average height back in the day.

Well, been playing Armored Warfare, I suppose I need to get back to my Hanny

seeing the crew in the hannomag... the IoM really hates his soldiers......i can´t imagine how it must be to get out of the compartment and be fighting ready... i guess you have to study a whole choreography for this ...
