Another one without scale-problems, I'd say ...

Stunning paintwork but it looks like they needed a very big screwdriver to put it together.

It looks great, but I wouldn't use it for VSF, I think it fits better for near future or pst apocalypse...

To me it looks like something the Quar might build in their endless quest for a Quar home planet with fewer Quar on it.

Awesome paint. Pretty decent model. No scale problems as you say. I would like to see it re-load though.

I'd use that for VSF, just need to change a few bits on it. I'd certainly use it for Steampunk and Pulp.

Stick it on tracks and have a giant steam Dalek?


That's really nice. Well done the Smart Max boys.

Lovely paintwork but the screws do look a tad large.

This seems very similar to Ashley Wood's WWRP stuff.

Wow, Admiral!

That "blue eye" is fantastic!

Darn I wish I could paint like that!

I very much like the design. Not sure if it's VSF enough, more pulpy to me, but could be modified fairly easily. Not a fan of the gigantic screws, either. Those would have to go.

I'm thinking pop a bit of green stuff in the groove of the screwheads and then stick small rivets around the circumference of the larger ones. Looks like Smart Max will be at Salute so I'll be buying one of these and a sewer thingy then.  :)

I like this one but as others have said, it doesn't quite work for me.

My issue with the sewer one is it has a man hole cover in it's chest. Wouldn't be a problem apart from the man hole cover being almost as big as a 28mm figure.
So many projects..... so little time.......
