Nice. What is that awesome vehicle behind them? Or is it a fortification?

I too have been wanting to get some Quar but have always been held up by the lack of any enemies to throw at them with equal character.  I really love these figs as they look like they come straight out of some of the old Heavy Metal comics I read as a kid (my parents had pretty open minds).

Ditto. Then again, the last thing I need is another setting to have to collect and paint! :?

I am hoping by the time I have my figures painted ( waiting for the new Quar to use on my Behmoths :mrgreen: )

There may be something, though I had thought about using the bare heads and putting my own hats or helmets (I am thinking of cover caps used on furniture-looks like a WW1 tommies helmet)on them possibly also using a different back pack such as the ones form MOFO for their Falklands range (now Gripping Beast) that would make enough difference for me.

I will do thanks  :mrgreen: , I think I need to go on a course to get this photography thing right. Sayng that I just laid the camera on the bench :oops:

I thought they would have been a bit fiddly to put togehter but having read through the forum at Zombie smith I did a few dry runs and they went together OK. Neck joints are the hardest and need to be drilled out a bit. I may have to invest in an electric drill after all this time as the pin vice made a rough finish. That and I tried to do 10 at once which became a chore towards the end :roll: my fault for being so clever

Amateur. I pinned my Quar's hands to the arms.  8)

Okay, I was goggled after that, I freely admit. Might also explain why I only have eight of them done.

Alright, I now sound like a newbie  :oops: (which for this I am) how do you pin those little arms?

EDIT - the gluing of arms and things I do by building Scaffolding out of blu tack :D to keep them in position until the Super glue drys :mrgreen:

Micro pin vice bit (I can't remember the size) and a cut-down staple for the rod. I used a steel dissection pin tool to start the hole, and took it slow. It was tedious, but now I'm confident they'll survive fair handling.
