I shall be keepin` a beady eye for them then brudda  You were saying?  Also headed to the shelf is the next of my Battletech offerings. Resin again, Fusco again. 55 ton Bushwacker. Put some infantry I'd been working on next to the mech to give a sense of scale in one of the pics. Hope you like!    |

Oh man that Vampire is coolness overload. Still don't know much about Battletech, but that cool. Those kits look like excellent painting and weathering experimentation platforms. That's solid resin? Must be crazy heavy!

Hey, thanks a ton fellas! Sorry for the delay in responding...this whole internet situation I've got is getting very old. Sitting at the library on a Saturday afternoon is not what I'd prefer to be doing! Wife and kid are off visiting for a couple of days - should be some more additions to the gallery shortly. |

I know it was one of the last aircraft to feature wood construction - hence why I didn't go nuts with any chipping. I don't know which parts are wood! Yup, solid resin. It's heavy alright...and this isn't one of the BIG ones.  |

The Mech with two troopers should be presented on a small base Dupes, very cool ! I'm actually working on that - Battletech is played on a hex map, so obviously I need some big hex bases. Trying to figure out what standard size would work for all of the mechs I've got and then I'll make them look much more suitable. |

I like that I never know what I'll get with you. Today a 262...next update it will be something from space..lol. I guess it's pretty hard for you to get bored.
Really digging the paint. I don't think I've seen a grey scheme on a 262.

Oh man I am way behind on your ever growing list. Love the schwalbe. That almost sounds like it could be followed by, "That's what she said."

I don't think I've seen a grey scheme on a 262. Seriously - it's how I can build this much. If it were JUST armor or JUST aircraft or JUST sci-fi I think I'd get a bit burned out. SAME! Found this one in a Kagero Topcolors (or Topdrawings?) book I had. Sourced most of the decals from there as well. My first time using the ones you get in one of those books, and they were STELLAR. |

Thanks Leon! Hahahaha...too true, Wingy. Lucas - shoot it my way! Once I worked the proper colors out, it was a breeze. Boots - nothing super-fancy in this case - just thinned black acrylic paint. Usually I don't go that dark, but it fit the grey-on-grey paint scheme in this case very well (or at least I think so!). |

This is my first "Schwalbe" (that's what she said) and I can see it turning into a squadron very rapidly. Would like to see what the Tamiya 48 kits or Trumpeter 32 kits build up like. And soooooo many scheeeeeeemes!
