I picked up a job lot of old COBALT minis ( now out of production) and thought they'd make cool Space Pirates.
I'm also working on a Kitbash assault fighter, droids and APC.
Here's the first completed one:

Nice. How did you do the bubble helmet? Or did they come with them?

Thanks pnweerar. The helmets ( which are a pain to fit!) come with them.

Next up is a Pirate leader.
The Control panel he's using with his right hand is going to be for a Scavenger Drone ( Work in progress).

Westwind are selling these off at half price at the moment. So if you want to get them, now is a good time :)

"Leutenantbrittan" over on Alpha Forge Games Forum used a Star Wars "Crab Bot" as a demolition bot for Star Mogul.
Wanting some droids for my pirates I thought it was a good idea so blatantly copied it!!!
Here's my "Behemoth" class Demolition Bot.






The Crab Bot cost a whopping £1.99 on Ebay!!!!

1.99 Pounds? You got ripped off, I got mine for 75 cents (US dollars)  :lol:

Nah, at any price they are a steal and mighty usefull. Mine will be relegated to 20mm sci fi wargaming though I feel they will make a presence in a 40K game too someday.

Brilliant paintjob btw, nice reds and use of dust.

Cool figures and excellent paint job!

I had a look at the Westwind Sci Fi figures for use with Laserburn a long time ago. There's some nice power armoured figures which look suitably retro!
