Title: Painted: UNIT Base for Salute DWMG by Black Knight Studios
Post by: uti long smile on March 30, 2010, 08:41:28 PM
Just received the final pictures of the Devil's Bay UNIT base from Darren at Black Knight Studios. This will be just one of the objectives for the Doctor Who Miniatures Game 'Rig Too Far' participation game at Salute.

Very nice! Tight fit for the helicopter though (must be a good pilot, eh?).

Schogun - The Helipad will be positioned a little way off - but remember to duck when approaching :)

Lovely base.  And I'm glad to see that there is none of that "Unified Intelligence Taskforce" rubbish here!

The Heli looks like the Corgi Augusta-Bell 47G that ModelZone were selling off cheaply last year - though mine came with skis.  A bit of conversion as well as repainting?

I've the Corgi\Modelzone one too though! Only £10. It's still in the box if anyone wants it!

Any ideas for a decent (and easy to fit base) - need something with a fairly small footprint if possible.

Must be AAC rather than RAF then ;)

Great model though I suspect that, give the name of the base, things aren't going to go well for the garrison.
