Rather well, a bit slighter as plastics tend to be, but absolutely fine. The phone/camera is at a slight angle so the figures are slightly closer in height than the photo shows but it gives a good idea.

And the current US force as it stands (without this new figure)

Sorry Dewbakuk but I'm stealing the Venetian Galley concept. 

Maybe not now and maybe not soon but stolen it is!!!!!

@ Dewbakuk - shouldn't you be working on your Venetians for Salute?

I was waiting for some plastic rods to arrive and needed to do something else!

[Bullshott]

I know what you mean (he say returning to the painting table without much enthusiasm on this lovely sunny day)

[OSHIROmodels]

Just get on with it, slackers

Getting there ....

Today's progress:

• More paintwork on my large 'nef - its starting to look the part now
• Base coat finished on my cavalry walker - should be a fairly quick job to complete
• Chevalier impervious suits based and undercoated- should be an even quick job to complete
• First part of assembly complete for my velocipede aero-cannon - glue is setting prior to mounting the gun
• Started detailing the last of my areo-matelots

Man have I said lately how I love those giant spider mechs? :-)
Just had to say it.

Yep, it's a wonderful army. 

Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks Ray, ignore the bore on the rifle end it was only a test gun build and figure conversion so I didn't bother maintaining the barrel ends, it's supposed to be a 'gatling rifle' but I think it needs shortening a bit in the final version.

That rifle looks very reminiscent of a rifle-grenade launcher - maybe you should keep him as a squad support weapon? Rifle grenades might be useful anti-vehicle weapons...

Also, on the Venice theme, when Lenny Henry appeared as Othello (in the Northern Broadsides production about 3 years ago) they opted for a mid-nineteenth century setting. Most of the troops were dressed in a sort of blue-grey colour, although Othello and his staff officers were in Venice Red.

Wow, you've been busy.

Cheers Grimm, I have to admit they're some of my favourite creations. They'll be pulling duty with the Venetians at Salute as I'm a little short on tech for them.

I went for Venetian Blue for my troops as I thought it would go well with the red banners. Mr Henry does look rather good in maroon though. I might be tempted to do the staff officer like that...

Sorry if this has been answered already, but where are those spider mechs from?  They are amazing.

They are conversions based on the GW Defiler. This link is to a previous thread, page 1 has pictures, page 2 has a 'how to' description.
