Me and a friend are toying with the idea of trying to add some weird to our games of Bolt Action.

Here's what I have done so far;

Here's the mecha from? I can see that the hovercraft is a Old Crow one.

The painting is subdued enough to look like real life vehicles. Great work  :o

Cheers for the kind words :)

Yep, spot on with the Old Crow hovercraft. Love their stuff.

The mecha is a long oop Japanese model kit that I picked for for a few hundred yen. Grabbed three of the buggers :)
Just trying to figure out how to kit out the others.

I like the mecha....BUT...it looks like it's leaning back 10 degrees...as if it's about to fall over!  lol

It is actually a lot more than 10 degrees  :'(

It doesn't show up too much when viewed from the front, but from the side it is REALLY obvious. I noticed too late to do anything about it.

What is that hovercraft from? That thing is pretty slick!

Also, great work on the paint jobs, they both look awesome!

The hovercraft is from Old Crow. The driver is from a 1:48 Tamiya German halftrack kit as are the odd bits of stowage.
