A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away...

Looking good Vik.

Like Theo, i was also confused by your gunner's arms (great name for a pub - The Gunner's Arms) - I looked at that and thought the grot had ducked for cover and all that was showing was his legs and feet

Vik, you have inspired me to build a blimp, and now the grots , I think one day we will have a blimp war between us, your grots versus my servo skulls. It will be the longest war in imperial history as both sides are equally matched intelligence wise .

Washers, large nuts and bolts, heavy screws those kind of things, you always have a tray draw or as my dad did several cabinets full of them just in case

ok... well yeah... such items of course... but would washed look good painted? wouldn´t there be scale issues?

and stones... i need me to get me then some rather shrap ones... for that extra texture ...^^

Definitely stones vik, make sure they are similar, and they can be the rock peaks of a mountain crossing. Find a 28mm scale goat to go on top of one.

Or since they dropped the bomb, use a PVC pipe to be the smokestack of the factory they are going after. Fill the bottom with metal or rocks, add steal wool as smoke coming out the top to cover what's inside.

Great work on the bomber Vik, love all the detail you've added, and of course the Grots.

Random Thought how many Grots does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Trick question, they always end up smashing the light bulb!

Rocks dude, but it does not need to be that heavy. Or mount your base on a plinth of wood or slate or steel?

well... the current piece of a scratchbuild base (as i don´t have really the right size for a base otherwise...is really lightweight... so needs additional weight or it is too top heavy with plane and bomb... and we wouldn´t want it to topple over, now do we?...
