Yeah Papa, tell me about it.

Just picked up 5 of the small ones at 50 cents each (and quite a few other Star Wars droids) to convert up for my 20mm games.

The small ones should be nice for 28mm as well, I reckon. They fit nicely on a small 40mm round base. I can take a comparison pic next to a Marine if you want.

(Might I also add I'm starting find shipping prices from the USA really odd these days? 8.80 dollar for 20 mini's I paid, while another charges me 18 to 38 dollars for just 1......)

For a single mini you should never have to pay more that about $10 to any part of Europe. A single mini will fit in the International First Class category at the US post office.

Now, if they are only shipping UPS or USPS Express because they want the tracking number, then you will pay $18 to $38.

Oh well, I was mighty pleased with this seller as he shipped the lot at cost (8.80) for up to 20 models. Can't beat that. It takes some searching on Ebay but its easy to take the shipping down a lot depening where you shop. And I like bargains :D

Btw, here is a pic of a Space Marine with the Crab Droids (suddenly I felt they would look nice in a Necron army...good thing I sold those :P )

I always find shipping a bit of a strange one. I've had a t least one item shipped from the US where the seller charged $30.00 and when I got the item it had only cost $15.00 to send. When asked why they said " Handling costs!". :roll:
Anyhow, nice use of the smaller Crab Droids! I might have to bet some as repair bots. :)

I've started on some Pirates in Heavy Armour for use as assault troops.
He's a mercenary assult troop from the OOP Cobalt range.

First up is a tactical squad leader with a mobile battle control unit.
I've really gone to town "beating up" his armour as I see the Heavy troopers as the first into any conflict.

That is definately nice work on those Papa. I got a ton of these in trade and from Noble Knight a while back and just needed some inspiration to get working on them. Guess I found it.
