Have you seen the postage rate for overseas? That's ridiculous.

I've been very tempted by this in the past - but the shipping is a killer.

Ordered a couple of painted pieces from SJM in the past and they've been OK - the mole machine for example is quite nice.

That dohickey doesn't say submarine to me. It looks more like a zeppelin accidentally puffed up with cement insted of hydrogen and now it has troubles getting out of the water.

Good. That leaves us with enough time to come up with measures appropriate for punishing you for that pun. :lol:

Have to say, without even regarding the price, I don´t like that sub at all. It cannot make up it´s mind as to what it wants to be - hull shape looks like a nuke sub, with lots of greeblies added that would make underwater microphones  overload due to the noise...

Short, doesn´t look neither Victorian nor Pulp or Modern. :?

Mole Machine?
« Reply #8 on: 27 February 2008, 09:04:49 PM »
If I am not mistaken, that "mole Machine" is the old Epicast 40k scale tunneler, the Termite. It looks like the one I have stashed somewhere around here for my Squat/Grymn forces.


Edit: The sub doesn't look right...too wide for its length. Early subs where long and narrow.

How "anti" this place got all of a sudden. I don't think it's THAT bad. You lot sound like you'd be ready to boycott any game this model appears in :wink:

The big, flat deck makes it a very game practical model.  Lots of space for the action to take place.

It's alright. In general I like it, and I appreciate that it's a game piece not a real sub, but the colourscheme in the painted version is almost exactly like Stingray to my mind, and that puts me off quite a lot, unfortunately.
