I'm not sure how it is ordering stuff to Germany vs England. One of my buddies in the UK ordered some X-wing stuff from MM but I guess between the shipping and the.. what is it they have there.. VAT? Anyway VAT or Import fees or some other manner of junk made his purchases not nearly as good of a deal as it initially seemed, but I think it may still have been a bit cheaper than ordering local.

i see... that is sadly probably true... i ordered only a few things from the US and it never came cheap in terms of postage...not even talking about problems with customs... that i a system that is so strongly fighting against my own principles...ach....

I do ok with battlezones, just can't rush it, and don't do it in a bad mood or you'll destroy the little clips

Lol the older model with the crampy space inside vs the roomier wheeled and modern model, the engines are inside the wheels BTW.


Hence I like perma-buildings. I need to finish the Booty Bumper soon.

looks like the sun is reflecting up and down on the bottom of a swimming pool... i think these vehicles have currently your best camo job done for now...one could even leave off the squiggly lines...

and i just ad my first look a the MM website.... they have a lot of plastic crack for super conditions... i have no idea what postage it would cost me... but that retailer sooner or later will do business with me

Postage, that is the big thing these days that can block a decision for purchases.

Well, the black squigglies have ott be 3rd part of the camo,,,thanks for liking the work so far.

Still makes me wonder ab out why there are not enough localized sellers of our favorite addictions.

The price of fear it seems, they want to make sure our miniature weapons are harmless and not WMDs

A new update! the "Desert Tan" does look a tad orangey doesn't it? Now here is the Hanomag from Dreamforge all camoed like the troops.

That green, white and tan camo is very cool

It looks great on the vehicle and the troops too. Nice work. It is a nice departure from the blue and green (not that the old one is bad or anything, it's just a nice change).

Could I ask a favour of you?

You have some of the plastic Mantic Peacekeepers, don't you? Is there any chance that you have some GW Ogryn as well? If so... could you please take a side by side pic of them so that I can see how big they are?

I don't have the normal GW Ogryns, I do have the Jovian Hammers by Mad Robot though. I have also restic enforcers, plastic new ones, and the Heavy enforcers, I will pose a GW IG trooper for scale with all mentioned minis. though.

Here is the whole line up. Left to right, GW Guradsman, restic enforcer, plastic enforcer, plastic Peacekeeper, Enforcer Captain, Jovian Hammer, supermutant by Brother Vinni

Thank you

That is perfect.

I don't think I can get away with what I was aiming for so it has saved me a purchase

The next option for me are the big Teratons for Dreadball/Deadzone... a bit different but with a bit of tinkering, they will make fine Ogryn

Thanks again for your help

No problem, the Jovian Hammers though do make good stand in for Ogryns, even though they look to smart as Ogryns.

The ever swelling ranks of Shas!

All those troops look fantastic, the head swaps making a great look to them.

The Mogs look spectacular, getting me itchy to go do something like it.

Got to agree with Vik back there, the camo jobs on the mogs are outstanding.

Lastly, I always think the GW ogryn models are just wrong. I can't reconsile how bloated they look. Those hammers look much more real to me, or even the Muties. GW seem to have taken the oversized hand bit just too far with the ogryn, I was really hopeful when they were redoing them last year, but no still bloated. Mind you bloated is cool for me, I tend to use Ogryn bodies for Super Nobz for me orks.

LOL! yeah, me and me soldiers!

Brother Vinni heads make them totally different don't they?

No worries.the cream/khaki base over the Olive green, then the desert tan for that camo.I used to use a more earth/dun color for the camo for the Kruegerian troops. But don't have it right now

These things are not that cheap, I got them from MM at discount

Thank you, thank you!

For large orky leaders yeah, the GW Ogs are better for that with the pot bellies and all. The Hammers look like BIG Humans, even the taller Supermutants,,,paint them in flesh of any ethnic colors, they just look like ugly BIG Humans!

So they do make a nice couple of squads of Ogryn types

Aberrant games which is in California got me my metal squad of "peacekeepers" they have rifles/pistols/grenades/one sniper rifle. Not all that set for heavy infantry combat despite their well armored and sealable suits.They do stand as tall as any GW figs.

Whole team from above

It will depend on how Germans customs charges work. With the UK the combination of VAT and the nonsense they call procesing fee's or something similar can often wipe out any savings that you get from ordering abroad. Especially if the seller puts the cost of your order on the box as the full order including shipping instead of just the items. In the UK expect to pay 20% on top plus another charge.

Yeah, the poses are pretty old fashioned. I will have to see how they look once I paint them

never lost faith in you^^...

Rezolution has some very hit or miss sculpts, I think. Especially in the CSO faction. Most of them unfortunately tend towards miss. I think these guys are probably some of their better looking figures. Looking forward to seeing you get some paint on them.

That desert camo and those panzers look great! I really like that colour scheme.

@Vik; Thanks man!

@Barzam; Yeah I saw some of the goofier poses of the CSO cop like troops

@ckig: Thank you. I have another squad of Panzer-Jaegers all camo-ed, will do some other details and decals plus dirtying later, I have one more team of Panzer-Jaegers to camo.

Thank you! I was wanting something with some tie in, yet also different, the tie in is the dark grey under suits, and the blue eye lenses.

As always your camo is swell. I am really digging the metal models as well.

Thank you. I do try to work the camo well.

I have to putty some gaps of course, and sculpt it to look like the flexible material for the shoulders. then paint it all to look nicer.

So, the last of the jaegers got their camo

So, the Royal Post got a package to the USPS and it arrived as I slept, My roommates let me know it was here. I was quite pleased it arrived so swiftly, used to be slower in years past.

So, I now have Trench rails for some older tanks, or possibly new projects of scratch builds! 5 lucky tanks will get them!
[/img]

Emplacment with turret and assorted weapons and or sensor gear. Agent G is helping for scale references!
[/img]
[/img]


weapons for the turret as well as the other bits for a detection scan turret,

Hatch, Vickers like HB, Las cannon, anti-tank cannon, or heavy flamer
[/img]

Serchlight and optics
[/img]


Oh and speaking of Royal Post, Agent G sending a letter off to his mum!
[/img]


and Tank bits I can use on new projects! OMN is great!
[/img]

I must inspect the engine parts

OOOOOOooooooooo lots of nice goodies!! Looking forward to seeing them put to good use!

So a toaster, and a radio are also in the mix., a weapon emplacement for a hull HB or HF to blast or burn your foes. 2 engine louver doors, 2 different mufflers, or is it one muffler, and one air breather? exhaust system of the Landraider looking kind, lights and an optics system in that bag.

One of the turret support bags has another light/optics/mantlet for the turret guns. and the trench rails will have uses

Good to see all those bits 'n' bobs got to you safely.

Yea one is an air filter the other an exhaust (at least that's what I call them, I've been wanting to use them as parts of all sorts of things).

OMN's gear is magnificent, got a huge supply drop for a prize for 2nd in LoER comp.

Troops looking fab.

Trench rails cleaned up, some work on the emplacement as well. Had problem and the computer was out of commission, good news, it has a fresh 1TB Hard Drive in it now!

was a bit worried you´d been eaten by Z´s already, good too "see" you!
