Big 28mm Spacecraft for Convention Game.
« on: March 18, 2018, 08:36:55 PM »
Haven't been doing much hobbying the last few months but this week I'm going a bit nuts last-minute building the three spaceships that will be the focus of my Adepticon Mech Attack scenario.
Here's the start of one being built from a Star Wars toy.



Here's a second one whose starting point was a "Power Rangers Mission response Vehicle", but has alot of other toy chunks grafted on.


Full details, pics and my rambling explanations are here:

And a reminder that if you're going to Adepticon and need something to do on Saturday Morning, I've still got 2 spots left for "Mech Attack, Shootout at Valestetch Spaceport"! I guarantee big mech models on a big table with awesome terrain!

Your Always making something impressive.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Thanks! I'll do blog posts for each individual ship starting next week.

Appreciate the kind words.  Wait till you see the third one! Just finshed the assembly and basecoats...

Will do Matt,
       Toybashing is pretty much my favorite part of this hobby.   There will of course also be a post of the game these are part of.

Darn it!  Now I'm having to go and look for one of those Republic Shuttles on e-bay for my own purposes.  >:( :D

No apologies from me.  I'm an unrepentent pusher of the toys-for-terrain habbit and you're hooked.  :D
