I thought that was a Conversion Beamer, not a Plasma...

Really well done.  I'd like to see pics when you are done painting it!

I don't believe there is an actual background beyond "VSF type desert dwellers".
So many projects..... so little time.......

I may even paint this machine silver... :D

Only if you're still feeling mean.  ;)

Brilliant ideas Paul.

I like them mate.
I admire the simplicity of the machine, using the flight stand. I'd maybe rivet it up a bit though...  ;)

I've had far less time lately than I had expected, so progress has been slow.  No painting started yet, but I have continued building.

The Scorpions: Multi-legged, steam-powered, close assault contraptions.
Any opponent will have to face the heat or be taken by force . They will create a wind of change   :D





Built from slightly modified Airfix Robogear Spiders from some boxed starter sets I got very cheaply in Tesco a couple of years ago....just in case.

The only changes I have made is to leave off all of the weaponry (too high tech) and fit 2 mechanical pincers, robbed from other vehicles in the starter set.  The rear steam boiler is made from a wooden barrel, top from a hotel shampoo and a few plasticard rivets.  The smoke stack is part of one of the weapons.  I also closed off the crew compartment with thin plasticard.

They look good. I'd suggest shifting the claws onto the front of their 'arms' though as they look a little flimsy where they are.

Did I mention the Anglo/Sanwar alliance of 1888?
I am so glad these chaps will be allied to the British expedition in a couple of weeks time ;)

Great stuff Paul, your building quite a force to be reckoned with, very inventive  ;D

Seconded - great work Paul.

This should be interesting, as I hear the Koshindan pirates have Sanwar allies/mercenaries too - could be interesting when they meet accross the battlefield :o

Great work Paul!

I seem to recall one of these kits in a local hobby shop. Now I know where I shall be getting some mechanical legs from!

Thanks for sharing that, and can't wait to see it painted!
