Yeah; I found it, and €49,21 plus €21,12 P&P is a bit steep...

But it still is the nicest large mech I've come across for my ongoing project

Price bobs around a bit - keep an eye on it. Or put it in your cart and see if the seller responds. I saved £15 by waiting and watching. I went for the slow-boat free shipping too.

Well, this fella just turned up a couple of months early. It took only 10 days from China, tracked airmail then Royal Mail 48 at my end.

Deeply impressive model - a lot of articulation (even the thumbs move), solid construction. It feels weighty. And huge - it stands 20cm/8" tall stood straight. The torso/head is bigger than a GW dreadnought.

Paintjob and weathering are decent - mine is a slightly browner colour than the one shown above, but not much.

The flaws - a couple of the joints are a little loose. and the whole thing separates at the waist. I can see that joint in particular becoming a problem over time. Buy hey, I'm using it as a gaming piece, it doesn't matter if I glue the joints eventually.

If you see this one at £28 again (the price has been up, down and up again since I ordered), I'd highly recommend it.

I'll get a photo up when I can work out how to, uh, get a photo up ('Bucket victim).

Impressive (both the model and the ordering experience). This is a worthy thread

I'm tempted to go for a bunch of aquarium decorations.
There are a few nice rocky bits and pieces and this ruined castle
A little pricey but size wise not too bad for some ruins (not great as an actual castle). It really makes me think of Willow.

Just add "~original" to the end of your img link. So....

".........3_073009_zps6dktulcu.jpg[/IMG][/URL]"

Becomes.....

A buddy of mine just ordered some of the tiny ceramic/resin stone stair sections and such that are sold as decorations for "sand tables" They scale up quite well for 28mm and he's using them for decorative bases.

That’s a shame! I still feel I’m saying a big “f#@k you” to them by using my account and not paying for it!

Possibly these

I'm not sure if other will be able to see this link but here is a link to my terrain etc aliexpress wishlist.

Sunjester · « **Reply #132 on:** April 28, 2018, 01:48:36 PM »

Thanks beefcake, they look useful.

Unfortunately I can't see your wishlist.

beefcake · « **Reply #133 on:** April 28, 2018, 09:13:42 PM »

That's a shame. They have sharing options for Facebook etc but no direct link.
Also the size of the steps seem rather small.

This might have been the one my buddy bought, but I'm not sure.

It was perfectly scaled for 28mm figures, though not on a base and IIRC would have fit nicely, with a bit of overhang on a 30mm base.
If you enter "resin steps" and go to "home and Garden" you'll get a few pages of results.
