Lovely.

Do you hand or spray paint? (Or a bit of both?)

Hi Von Lucky.

I very rarely use spray paint. This will all be hand painted.

Great to see you back working on VSF builds. This one looks great.

More today! I'm ready to start painting, after adding 1,317 rivets...

However, I am beginning to question your sanity  :o

Excellent work - I honestly find VSF a bit marmite (ie hit & miss) but really admire the consistent quality of your work, which always has a “logic” to the design.

That question was resolved years ago with the yet-work-in-progress which, at last report, had ten times that number.

Glorious madness it is!

Hadn't seen the town, mind you; have played in similar, though smaller, for GASLIGHT and In Majesty's Her Name. Wouldn't mind, in the least, playing on your table, Colonel.  ;)

Yeah... About that... I'll be getting back to Lord Smudgington Smythely-Smythe's Hydraulically Motorvated Sextupedal Land Traversing Vacational Domicile in the not too distant future.

And this Stargate thingummybob is nearing completion...

That is an amazing but very compact build! I too cannot wait to see it painted.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.
