I agree those markings on the gun body really enhance the overall effect - well done.

Thanks guys. I agree, decals add a great deal, as does the basing.

Super cool stuff. You should get those turrets cast up. I am sure Old Crow or GZG would produce them.

Thanks man. I should get around to doing something with these builds as it gets a tad tiring making duplicates Sprayed the final varnish on a few more figures this morning... Command BaseWasn't sure what to put on the base to make him stand out, so knocked up a little droid. Apart from the main section of the body (from a Forgeworld dreadnought) the rest is scratch-built. I figure it's nondescript enough to arm/perk with whatever I need. SniperTank DestroyerI think I'm going to use this as a Medium GSV with the Heavy Chassis mod and a Vehicle Medium Laser. I know GSVs are limited to anti-personel weapons but I figure with the mod and cancelling out its ability to carry troops, it should be more than balanced out. I just didn't think using the Tank build would be fitting. Again, hope you like. If anyone has any better ideas for stating the Medium GSV, let me know.

Thanks Mr Harold, high praise indeed. I think the next addition to the army is going to be a nice drop pod or two Something to counter slow moving wheeled vehicles would be nice.

Pakwagon, I was able to find these in 4 wheel mode on novlety candy toppers in my area but could only get 4. My endless searching has proven fruitless. Do you still have a way to purchase these? I would gladly pay you for your trouble and of course for all of the costs incurred. Thank you!

Hey Merc I feel your pain I found my first vehicle at a Japanese $2.50 store here in Melbourne, called Daiso. After deciding I could do with a few more I went back but they'd all gone. It took me a few months before I found some in a local Kmart as part of a 5 vehicle set. Naturally the other vehicles in this box were useless. The tricky thing is it always appears in generic packaging, making it impossible to find online. If I hadn't tracked down a few more vehicles I was seriously considering trying to cast some up. If I spot any more, I'll PM you.

Cheers. Plasticard tip - use a sharp knife and press down on the plasticard rather than run the knife along (which creates ridges that you'll then need to sand flat), if that makes sense? Wet and Dry sandpaper is also very useful as is thin plastic cement, that flows around the plasticard.
