I just posted a review of one of Scotia Grendel's lovely APCs on my blog: link tl;dr: Apart from some casting and size issues, the A.T.A.C. APC is a very nice find for its price. It's not perfect as a model or as an Aliens APC proxy, but if you want a little armoured power for your troopers, you could do far worse – especially if your minis collection is more 28mm than 30mm. |

I am working on this model aswe speak . I agree with the review , I had to remove some of the stowage at the bottom and the tow cable was half cast . All in all a decent model . |

Weird serendipity – I was looking at Ming's half-painted one just last week. Looks good so far. |

Lovely detail you've added, Patrick! |

Wow that is nice, I really like their stuff wish they would make it in 15mm, come on guys take the plunge. |

Agreed with manatic: that's a superb job you've done there Patrick Although the link didn't work correctly, I deduced what the rest of the photobucket pics were and had a good snoop. Great work. John T |

Thanks guys. It is a sharp looking vehicle when finished but assembly is rough due to the way it is cast. Definitely build it outside on a pleasant spring or summer's day as you will generate a lot of resin dust. |

Nice review.
Really makes me wish I hadn't sold mine. Unfortunately I was all in for 40k back then and didn't appreciate it. I would disagree about size issues though. It might not be as big as an aliens APC, but I think the size is very realistic for 28mm when you consider how crammed vehicles like the BMP are in real life. Excellent job also, Patrick. |
