I see I picked a good time to return.

Flyer has to be one of the more interesting things you've done so far. Blues would work with him so he kind of blends with the sky. I'd imagine being so vulnerable like that he'd rather be sneaky and quick than dead and quick.

well... welcome back not_u... what´ve kept you away?

and well... blue is out of the question... fluff reasons...

but sneaky... that is also the big thing... i dunno if brits of that period go for sneaky...more bold and dead i gather

Oh wow Vik, I go for a few pages and come back to see this awesomeness! :-) that flyer I really like, the painting's coming along nicely too! and Cap Victory is simply put 'Bad Ass' I can't wait to see more!

I go for a few pages

that my young padawan was the error in itself

thanks a heap mate!

sleep is for the weak!

I just slept 11 hours

well.... then you do the maths

and i mostly only sleep six hours worth... somedays i feel like drunk^^

Flyer and Cap are looking sharp Vik! Can't wait to see them done, and then I wonder of the flyer will be the start of a squadron of flyers like him .?

well^^i will at least do another one, that is for sure... also i am currently thinking of adding some kind of weaponry to the first one... tho i am at a loss as to what and where to put it atm...

thanks shaso!

A bomb rack! That is the ONLY answer Vik!

Ah, hand bombs! or even a light machine gun.

I don't see those as strafing aircraft for some reason...wings seem too vulnerable...
More like the equivalent of a parachute...to insert airborne troops.
..silently..in a swarm..

so more like an underslung lasgun and be done with it? wings are vulnerable... i had thought that these could be roughrider stand ins...

How does he aim his las-shots?

well... i don´t think it would affect his hitting ability that great?

no i think he would have his gun beside him and concentrate towards steering... then when landing...like a parachutist he will get out of his hear and start fighting... probably a shortened lasgun then... the old catachan ones with folding stock?

Vik have you ever considerede capin america for the captin vitory sceheme??? he looks alot the same thought it may help....

He would need to carry gear with him.

Doesn't he already?

Life, stress, the usual really.

As a stand alone figure, and the morale boost Capt Viktory would represent, He would be a great Commissar Lord stand in.

Commissar Vik-tory... not a bad idea...

Vik, he need a black longcoat now

Vik you need to make his nemesis next...

^who would have to be an Ork, really. Da Red Skul!

oh man, do make that ork!

ha ha ha, an ork prhaps...please!!!!!!!!!

Ok, it's been a while but somehow the thread grew much less than I've anticipated...

The transport turned out really nice and I really think that in plasticard your works look better than in cardboard. But when we gonna see the platform painted? (or I missed something here?)

The new "Cap" and "Bat" guys are pretty awesome. As always I'm late with my ideas but anyway... I bet you've thought about super hero stuff yourself but if not I really think that's the right way to go. Not nesesary the iconic versions but their less known steampunk adaptations. While your "Cap" is fine as is and some brass in colour scheme might be enough

the "Bat" guy could use some "steampunking" in a form of hat, maybe?
Like on this pic:

Cheers pal!

Great find storag. I really like this. If it can be done, I think it's a perfect basis for a steampunk Cap. V.

Good to see you back.

See..Proof that Rivets make anything better!

I'm imagining that the chain is so that, in the event of dismemberment, the forearm is always at hand (terrible pun intended), like having mittens tied to a coat sleeve for a child

Looking really sharp Vik. Well done so far.

Well, it is definite a need for Capt. V to have some sort of nemesis.
