Picked up this 4Ground 15mm terrain kit yesterday on the gamble it would look fine with 28mm stuff. Went together easy enough with PVA glue though the black insulator parts were a bit of a bugger to glue on at the end. I think it's big and imposing enough to look pretty great on the table with other stuff. A proper 28mm one is kinda too big really. Oh also built this cool Guntank Gundam kit on the weekend. It's like a giant war sized Tank-R robot.
Hi again. The latest starship off my cutting mat shipyards is this Tibana gas heavy transport. A ship I've had sitting around unpainted for a while since it caught my eye while I was shopping new anime figures.
It's meant to be some weird rocket booster ship for a Gundam but something about the shape appealed to me especially after I saw the big fuel tanks that clip underneath. I thought they'd look cool on top instead. Of course I had no idea at all how big the ship would be so it was a bit of a gamble.
So as you can see I was working on this big guy while I was doing the armored YT-1300. It got the same treatment for surface detail. Lots of scribing in lines where I could fit a ruler to scribe against then lots of random plastic sheet bits and rod and bits of tubing. Also I had to make a round mounting socket for an acrylic base.
