I find I jump from one thing to another.
Don't really get enough painted to play a decent sized game.
Who makes the "Emotional & Fire Support" mini?It is a discontinued Antenocitis figure with a Crooked Dice (FN) rifle. I think it came with two right arms, the other had a handbag.
But... UN troops with a flamer??If you had lived through the 'sixties and 'seventies you would remember yetis on the UndergrounD and dinosaurs on the streets of London.

The Crossover troops with the helmets look good as well. Are they the standard heads that come with the crossover minis?These are Ballistic Heads straight out of the packet (with an MP5 added to the leader and removed the integral bases):
@Arrigo: Probably best if you do not show your friend my HMMWV clone with the rest of the squad (I still need to paint ”eight- one" on it).
I will probably replace it a Spectre one later.
I may be mistaken, but I believe Imprint models are not 3D printed, they're scratchbuilt then cast for resin production.
It's just purely down to cost. A resin master should be printed on a top end machine the layers are tiny and almost invisible but this costs a lot. Butlers print on machines that produce meh stuff. They are appropriately cheap though.
It does worry me that people are a lot more accepting of gash quality now and just excuse it as 3d printed so it's OK to be stripy.
Sometimes ;) He facilitates my mad projects lol
I bought some of Blitzkrieg's 1/56th vehicles. Warlord's models of the same vehicles had better detail, with Blitzkrieg's seeming overly thick in areas. I'm keeping my eye out for when they eventually convert their T-55 into 1/48th (why they made it in 1/56th originally I've no idea), as Tank-Mania's is far too expensive for wargaming (that whole site seems more aimed at the 1/35th crowd). ...Not to mention the smaller details on those Tank-Mania kits being rather brittle (half the track links on that Acacia SPG I bought from them wound up broken, even with me being careful).I remember someone (Captain Blood?) asking about their Matilda, I will have a look for the comments.
Thanks Carlos, but actually since posting that question, I did subsequently go with the Blitzkrieg Matilda - which was good, because it turned out to be a very nice moulding indeed :)http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=97132.msg1262699#msg1262699 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=97132.msg1262699#msg1262699)
My projects always have an ulterior motive, one that usually doesn't actually see the light of day!
The Tortoise and the T-95 are sane??!
Rich, I never thought you were working for SASM! Their models are far below your standard! If I am not mistaken you do masters for JFTM.
Nice Copper but his truncheon should be Brown.Thanks.

Nice, would the Enfield armed police work for the style of game your aiming for?Thanks.
No worries, I just saw them and was wondering if they might be of use.That range of figures is of use, I have two being painted up as sidekicks for the Heroic Lawman with shotgun.
Its a great looking kit, could almost be used for Knight Rider :)Good point, I am surprised there is not an optional bonnet with a suitable single grill, it would go with Crooked Dice's Heroes 4http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product/heroes-4/ (http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product/heroes-4/)
I'm sure ive seen ber up here in Norfolk wandering around Sandringham :)
Looking forward to to seeing how you integrate them into your world.Though on another thread, and might be considered a spoiler: though the leader of a founder signatory of the Oceanic Alliance decided that he could see no advantage in honouring Aylands treaty obligations and ordered his forces to remain in place (though see 60th Royal Rifle Regiment), other members of the alliance did move in Blueland's defence. After the navies of Blueland and Wyeland secured the sea crossing, Zedland forces relieved Blueland forces at one of the ports, and their combined forces made a dash to the capital.
Curse those faithless Aylanders!Do not tar all Aylanders with the same brush (it s unhygienic).
True, they can not all be held responsible for the actions of a few in power.See "60th (Provisional) Royal Regiment".
I also miss read that as the Ayland Goverment not sending an forces.You did not misread it (even though they had forces in Blueland, they were ordered to remain in place, secure their sites and ignore requests for aid. This did not go down well with Ayland personnel).
Seems odd to have such poor quality masters for such a simple shape?My suspicion is that this is a trial of the concept (they also had a range of MDF buildings which is also not currently on their site).
3d print is not the answer to everything and, while in this case it’s not too terrible, a smooth finish would have been trivial to achieve.
I’d be tempted to cast them in grey plaster and chip them...
Seems like slot of work.Ba-Dum=Tish!
I probably would’ve cut the axle bits offI thought about it, but the contact points are limited (road wheels two and four are separate).
Quite a large bit of kit all up.It is large compared to the Empress M151 (I do need to find the Empress Hotchkiss M201 for comparison - and assembly).
I like the fact that they have taken the whole ‘alien trope as a manifestation of Cold War paranoia’ thing to it’s logical 4WD conclusion.A good point - the original imagery had another origin (please do not post any).
I’d take a punt on it being the Cam. ;)You had not noticed the absence of person powered devices to propel the boat? ^__^
Can’t be the Thames at Henley, no Panama hat, OE tie or bottle of Bollinger in sight.

Actually the ‘punt’ pun was too tempting.You are right it was ^__^
I must say that sculpt bears little resemblance to the original, which in all honesty, is a good thing, lest they end up with a court order prohibiting them from coming within 200 metres of schools, playgrounds or anywhere else that minors congregate. ;)Crooked Dice have that covered...
I really need to take some photographs of vehicles using these for cover.
