hubbabubba, you are my newest favorite!

Everything you do is awesome.

You have absolutely mastered the 'realism' that makes scale models so amazing.

Outstanding. Big fan of your builds and painting - a lovely style.

Fabulous! I love the container stacker and the little tracked vehicles. I saw a container stacker at a local model shop and it was a bit too expensive for me, but on your table it's perfect! I also love the little square buildings, what did you make these from?

Words fail, I stand in awe. This is a seriously cracking layout for any modern to sci-fi game. Well done!

Yup best hoob by far!

Those tracked crawlers, where'd you got those from?

Spectacular

What technique did you use to get the paint to adhere to the silos/cd stack boxes? They look brilliant and I would love to rip off the idea.

In my experience the plastic on those is too flexible and waxy to be painted with any degree of permanency.

What a fantastic battleground

+1 on this though thinking you keyed the plastic with a plastic-etch primer?

+1. I'd like to know aswell.
All looks good, looks like a great board to play on.

Really inspiring work.

I'll be satisfied if I can do my vehicles half as good as you did yours.

They're made out of the little presentation boxes watches come in. Nice sturdy little things

Hoob

?
Edit: Ah, hoob, Huge Noob; camelia
Any action exhibited by said individual over any course of given time is an example of 'hoobness'

The crawlers and the stacker both came from here:
http://www.modelmotor.es/
They're manufactured by Joel, here in Spain. I wouldn't wanna have them shipped anywhere though, the stacker must weigh a couple of kilos. I reckon they must have a distribuiter in the UK, give them a ring:

I wanted to get a couple of these things, but it went beyond my budget.
