AMX-40 I played in WoT as with the Char B1 Bis, I turned one into a Malcador Defender

AMX 40 is a gakky tank in that game imo and yeah i totally forgot that..

I didn't realize until now the steampunk potential in the akuyaka kit... If I had the money...

Yes, but a warhound is still a Titan walker, oh and I almost forgot the 6 Dust walkers are in the pot now too!

Bandai proves plastic can be highly detailed and superior to resin, shame GW can't figure that out so easily, and also affordable, the 40dollar ship sets work the cost per ship down some.

So, I got the striders/walkers from Poland and they are rather nice, with a big looking head at that. I have added pilots to the AT-43 walkers with cockpits that can be opened, I suspect the glued shut ones have no seat to put the pilots on. So, no pilots to show in Dotch Yaga, Kossack, or Hussar walkers

So, now the casnnonade armed sierp or soon to be renamed with BT-, A- and or KV- as the Dotch is big enough for the KV- prefix!

From Poland today!

I may try to make a mix to darken this blue-gray up, the new GW color has more purple look now and I am not that happy about it. I may keep it as a alternate base color, tell me what you guys all think

with the current light situation of yours i am in no position to help you with any color decisions...sorry mate... to many disturbances here...

but i like your work on those wlakers... specially the polish ones... those guns i need to scratchbuild myself...they look like they can pack a punch for sure!!!
the pilots are a very good looking and sweet done addition to these! excelent work mate!

so now i await the squiggly lines of yon colossus´

Yeah dude, you need better lighting. I'd suggest a daylight flourescent tube and at minimum an OTT lamp (wait for a 50% off coupon from Michaels to get a deal)- I got mine on clearance (previous years model)

That would be more mail order as I am that remote from a Michael's out here!

I can however get day bulbs at my roommates Lowe's workplace. Even the new LED kind of super efficient bulbs

difficult working out a match of sorts for the shadow gray or Fang

It looks like you need somewhere between 5 and 20% light grey in the bluer paint (fang) to match the lighter one. If that's what you are trying to achieve...

Nice haul of not-FO minis.

I added a darker gray and got a closer approximation to shadow gray, now adding the green to all presently shadowed minis, and will also work on alternate bits of the Dust models, I also got started on the 3 platoon command squads for the Amexadians company I got from Defiance (My UAMC minis).

Then, I shall add the black squigglies to all of them!

yes yes enjoy laughing at our only nationally designed tank!

But hey! The Russians also made tractor-tanks for a low cost war machine, it was an interesting concept, just full of issues. But fits here as it is an oddball!

Paints looking good.

Great haul of mini's. Love them. See several I could definately use. Really love the Servator! classic.

Any tanks with 6 Bren machine guns is not one to laugh at , but that comes close.

That's my only problem with Brother Vinni's Protectrons, is the extremely fragile hand parts- I see yours already broke too.

Thank you! I also felt the minis are a great haul.

The Russian NI tanks saw actual military action, they were also tractors with attitude added, but were more scare and ruse tanks than actual battle tanks.

dsteingass wrote:That's my only problem with Brother Vinni's Protectrons, is the extremely fragile hand parts- I see yours already broke too.

Nah, the hands I got are pincher like claws, he did not go this time with the 3 fingered models, the ammo feed for one of the police bots snapped, but was easy to fix \. I was surprised the hands of the protectron were simpler 2 vise claws and not the ball with three fingers, maybe he redesigned after some complaints?

Mine had 2 pincer claws too, but one always breaks off. I of course lost them and tried to remake them from styrene, but with such a fiddly bit, it didn't have much of a chance of sticking.

Huh! so small, I had not realized it snapped when I moved him with the other bots! I will have to make other hand /claw arrangements

maybe make the claws from staples? or paper-clips?

what a splendid suply drop shaso!
so many cool looking models and you already have such good ideas how to use them in your army!

as for the color issue... can´t help you there...i am not that mixing type of guy...straight from the pot...that´s me

I made a sheet plastic new claw, bigger than the original, but close 'nough for government work!

Now I give you crewed and canopied Helicopters, and one angry walker, and yes, the one pilot has a moustache!
