The Squats of Inso's Reach (TANKS!!!).

[Andym]

I like that a lot! The padded suit is cool!

Love it!

The first command tank is coming along:



... and this arrived:



Squat Knight Titan proxy, anyone?!

Love everything on this thread 

[Inso]

Cheers .

I won't be touching the mech at the moment because I am focusing on my tanks. Unfortunately, the weather is slowing me down today because i can't get any spraying done... but that aside, I have managed to assemble everything, ready for spray painting so that's a bonus :



I have not glued the base, hull, turret top or turret base together because I will need to take them apart for spraying and fitting the wheels . Hopefully the plasma-cannons look OK. You can see that the nearest tank has it's top hatch glued open. That is ready for another little tank commander .

Awesome to see how you manage to appropriate so many ranges of models and miniatures and bend them all to your will. Everyone of them fits within the main theme once you've done your magic on them.

Great stuff

The Roundfacer is 1/48 scale, right? Can you tell how tall it will stand once finished? (perhaps it's mentioned on the box and/or instructions?)

The box is all in Japanese but I reckon it'll be around 8 inches tall. That said, when I have finished with it, it will likely change because I have quite radical plans for it

OK thanks.

This is one of the Unseen Battletech mechs, a.k.a. the Griffin. And with my 15mm battletech project on the backburner, I'm still on the lookout for suitable mechs to add to my lances.

Alas though; this one is too large (it should be around 10cm for my purposes).

And now I'm curious to see what you'll be doing with it.

But the tanks first of course...

This is what you need then:

I already have several of those kits.

But I'm kicking myself for not grabbing one of these collections back when HLJ was offloading them at vastly reduced prices...

Now the third tank is finished (apart from the commander and decals) and the first of the plasma-tanks is base-coated, ready for a wash:



Hopefully, the first plasma-tank will be ready for decals by the end of the week... but who knows?

[Inso]

Just decals to go on the first platoon... but I reckon I'll leave the decals until all the tanks are painted :

[tim in saskatoon]

These look amazing!

Plasma cannons look great too!

[Inso]

Cheers . It's always good when you can find something that works... and doesn't cost ONE MILLION DOLLARS! .

Here's a high quality (Windows Paint) mock-up of the markings for my tank company:



I have all the decals I need for all ten tanks. The yellow shape changes for each platoon/command so there will be 3 triangles, 3 squares and 3 circles with a diamond as the company commander.

I have all the decals except the names... but I have LOTS of decals which can be altered for that... or I can just paint the names (so they are properly individual).

First plasma tank done (apart from decals) with the second one now on the table :
