The space stukas look great, and the carrier is interesting, not sold on how the decks stack, but maybe with the paint on it might change my mind.

Odd thing is, they really did have multiple decked version of real carrier5s in the 1930's look it up on wikipedia, apparently they did try it, then went for the mono deck any way.


So, here is the other carrier, the Polmeria, but I call it "star-fish" it has the big cannon in the center. the clear yellow plastic needed a few coats of white paint behind it.

The capital ships are 1/1000 scale, and the littlest fighters are the same scale, the larger wing fighter is more like 1/144 or so scale. The 1/144 scale planes come with capital ship[ models,. so far the fighters for Yamato itseld are 1/1000 and 1/72 scale kits.

Giant starfish of death , looking good

Thus far, the most massive of the kits made to date, I am however expecting the tri-deck carrier at 41cm and of such height to out mass it!

As the father of three, one of which is an aspiring midget, I feel it necessary to tell you size doesn't matter.

hey mate... i just wanted to say hello after a long (in my view too long) hiatus...

and that i am eager to see some heroic scaled models done by you...all these starships...tstststs
the last ones i don´t even pretend to understand... they look way more alien to me that is good for my health

cheers, vik

I'm liking the "flying wing" shaped fighter. Look forward to more.

@Theo: Size matters when placing things on a display shelf!

@Vik: no worries, once I am done painting the carriers, I have a lot of Amexadian soldiers to paint, great coat heavy weapons to build and paint, a company of Kruegerian elites to build and paint and their titan as well.

@Dr.H; It is a homage to the old German planes, DWG-229 LOL! Ho-229?? The space stuka is easily also likely to replace the DBG with Ju for the 87, all the Gamillon planes are using German WW-II numbers with different letters in front


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh wait! I still have 3 fighter kits and the Yamato to build!

Ahh, I didn't really look at your numbering of it closely and I didn't know the designation of the German flying wing so it didn't ring any bells anyway. It's always been the flying wing to me...

The space-stuka also looks cool, as did what that is obviously a homage to.

My October set to get once it is fully released


And the comparison between AT-43 and GW walkers, Dotch Yaga is like a 4 legged Leman Russ and very deadly. I just am thinking to paint it to match the rest of the armored fighting vehicles of my forces.

Yep, is actually a Carrier with a nasty central cannon, i.e Lance Strike.

The recoloring of the walkers has begun

Nice flyer, looks good.
I'll definitely have to make something like that for the army one day...

The underside of that flyer is great.

Thank you gents, the one carrier is molded in coral red, but I have Wazdakka red for it

well with that flyer i am more sold... that looks kinda mean and green

Thanks Vik! I also got my paint drop today, 54 colors and they even sent me a plastic caddy box for it!

....

er....wow mate... you are sure rolling the dice now...one of these days i need to invest in dropper bottles instead of pots... really... that is the future...

the GW pots are 12ml for 4bucks USD, these are 17ml for less than that, so more paint for less money, a little less, but still, less money for more paint that will last me longer. I can now toss the GW colors that have gone clumpy and will not water down any longer.

i think you will do great out of this new paint range... blending will be so much easier... out of pot painters like me never really get donw that lane so good and easy...

and well... of course almost any range is cheaper and more inteligent than that of GW...but that goes without saying

These will be used well for the Kruegerians and the Leviathan and the other models I have to work on.

Envious of the paint set for sure. I'm not sold on the droppers as I always squirt out more than I'm going to use.....that just sounds wrong for some reason .

and you just got back from church theo naughty now go drink a bloody mary and say hallelujah (kidding of course)

never tried dropper bottles but i think i would use too much too fast as well.

You weren't one of those guys who lowered Uranium rods into tanks wearing short sleeves and hairnets were you?

The dropper bottles allow me ot do one or more drops on the pallet, add water to the brush and see how thin or thick coat I want to apply, much more control of the paint than GW pots where you dip the brush, an have to worry about over dipping, and then wiping excess off on the lip of the pot, which may dry and not regain liquid status, etc.

Another advantage is the pinhole opening which helps keep the paint from drying out. I got one from 2009 as a sample from my old Oregon FLGS which still is liquid, and the older paints Dave sent with the plastic emergency drop he maileed me and I have no idea how long he had the paints but they too are still viable whereas the GW paints seem to harden up in a short time if you do not use them fast enough, worse if partly used. :(

And for 3.29 a bottle of 17ml compared to 4.00 a 12ml bottle of paint from GW one comes out ahead buying these dropper bottles if you are doing the hand brush methods like me, the HD series can be used in airbrushes they say,

Neat new paint range. Yes the good old bottle dilemma. If GW paints came in dropper bottles I wonder how the argument would change. I pour mine (GW) into empty dropper bottles. I could just switch ranges, but i already have 80%~ of gw's its cheaper to just replace what I run out of.

Well with new paints, I expect new painted models.

Droppers are the way to go, I'll never buy a GW paint again myself.
