Hi all i have just got myself a Heavy Gear starter army. And the great news is i can use all the Heavy Gears for Gruntz. So i've got minis for two games bonus. They are Northern Guard Gears. A Hunter, Jaguar, and a Grizzly.    looks like some very nice specialist to me  |

Would they be used as specialists in heavy power armor?
I have some Heavy Gear as well that need to be used for something. Either 6mm gaming of Gruntz.

I am keen to get some more heavy gear models but I am working on something a little larger. I have a few of the Gundam zulu suits in progress. Early days yet and I put this dry run together before I take it apart for airbrushing etc. There are some excellent models in the range now that will look in-scale when the airbrushing adds some detail and weathering to the model. I will base them on metal discs with a solid rod to keep torso in place. Attachments:

I was going to add that price wise the Gundam may seem expensive at $29 but many of the heavy gears sets are over $20 for much small models.

thorlongus: where did you get those smaller scale Gundams? Are Macross/Robotech available also? At an affordable price?

Jeff and Robin, I did an eBay search....gundam gashopon 1/300 1/400 zaku Usually you can buy the individual ones you want, sometimes you have to buy blind unopened boxes, trading Will post a pic here later for size comparison Steve I heartily agree with 1/144 being the top scale useable for 15mm applications Link crowmag99-the15mm.blogspot.com/2012/03/gashopon-size-comparison.htmlPrice wise, luck will be your lady....in lots as low as 3$ apiece up to 6$ plus shipping |
