Damn right! I’d set aside a lot of stuff that didn’t get used, I suspect some of it will end up a scenery, either for wargaming or in a vignette with figures. One of the problems with the thingamajig is It doesn’t sit on a stand. I drilled a pilot hole for a rod at the only point sturdy enough to take the strain, but that ended up too far forward of the final center of gravity. I’m thinking of some sort of docking cradle set on top of a tower, but that can wait for now - there’s another project with a deadline to meet which I would like to have a stab at…
Thank you! I’m getting the urge to do some more similar stuff, but I plan to go to another part of the Network and confuse them, this group has suffered enough…
…at least, for now!
I anticipate whatever (if anything) the Space Oddity ends up on will be fairly plain to maintain the scale-free theme. The wotsit itself is looking like getting a re-paint and new nacelle caps when the weather warms up. Your suggestions for something with a lot of background detail do fit with something else I’m thinking of, a corner around which this lady can lurk…
(If, by some chance, you haven’t already seen them, the rest of that range are well worth a look.)
Yes, tons of articulation. The arms, legs, head, hands, and torso are all posable.
It comes with clear inserts for the knees/elbows, but I like it better without. That makes the joints a little more brittle, but I figure I can glue them if I need more structural integrity
Now I’m wracking my memory trying to remember which of the movies it was where I spotted the parts for the wicker ammo baskets from the Tamiya 88mm FlaK 36/37 kit used as greeblies on one of the ships.
Really like this, although I am a Sci-Fi fan I’ve never thought to model anything along those lines. I’d have been tempted to model this as a lineman from Patrick Tilleys Amtrak Wars series. If you haven’t read them they are really good.
You can actually probably make that book cover art now—use the Verlinden 120mm “Soldier 2000” figure (shop around for the best price) and I think that you can get a 120mm M240 or L7A2 machine gun from Shapeways or a resin aftermarket seller.
The helmet on the Verlinden “Soldier 2000” is almost a dead-ringer for Tilley’s cover art.
please tell me this is still active!
I’ve just taken a renewed interest to warhammer, and thought i’d take a trip to the model/book store to pick up some “Primaris Intercessors” from the Ultramarines Chapter. i’d really like to have a just reason to buy it. although, I guess, I already do.
Cheers!

I think, technically, the GB expired about the beginning of March, but I suspect from the numbering there will be another along at some time. But don’t feel you have to wait to post something, you can start a thread outside the Group Builds.
Are you perhaps referring to the start of the WH40K: Imperium part work? I don’t know what the scheduling is in your part of the world but here in the U.K. Part 2 (Necrons) isn’t due until next week with the trio of Assault Intercessors the Wednesday after. Unless you mean the Ultramarine Lieutenant in Issue 1 which is still available here?
Just remember it’s not compulsory to paint your Space Marines as Robot Girlyman’s Killer Smurfs, plenty more Chapters out there, or invent your own…
Whatever you decide, we’re looking forward to whatever you choose to post.
It is not active anymore, but if there is interest I am fine to start up a new one. I have run all the previous ones and I am happy to continue the streak
