nice model and very subtle paint job (the subtext being "much more subtle than I can do [quickly] nowadays!") Very nice. John T |

I didn't know anyone was making stuff like that in 15mm. |

Looks like they did next to zero prep on this beast. There are rather nasty mold lines all over (notably on the gun barrels), a pit in the left foot, and that star looks like it was put on with masking tape. We'll overlook the lack of a feed chute on the ammo belts, but they're probably supposed to meet up with the ammo bins on the shoulders instead of just sticking there like fridge magnets. But a model done with the skill you could muster at the time is better than one that sits in pieces for a decade until you're "in the zone". |

I thought the star just had a lot of decal film visible around it. And that's a bit 'hobsons choice'. Yeah, there's a few mould lines on the gun barrels but not something I'd lose much sleep over. John T |

It gets really tricky to remove mold lines from slender gun barrels. But I do like the piece. Might have to get some of those to compare with Gearkrieg minis. |

The camera is an unkind mistress, especially in closeups. But I do have to wonder, why use a decal for star that could have been easily freehanded? It's not especially small or oddly placed – better to do it by hand and trade a tiny bit of regularity (easily disguised by a bit weathering) for that ugly film line halo. Still, nice looking model overall. The few warts look simple enough to fix. |

Heck, just gloss the area where the decals are going, then spray with dullcote after the decals have set! |

The camera can be very unkind, especially when the pic is 2-5 times (or more) larger than the real thing. I've taken to putting a US penny in my pics to provide scale, after a friend told me, after seeing the pics, and then holding the model in his hand, "it's SO SMALL!". Well, duh. But not everyone realizes that. |

Awesome belly plate. yeah, those rivets won't be bouncing around inside the suit on a belly hit by a three inch gun. |
