I have been wanting an aerial opponent to fight my Eureka pterodactyls, but Nic Robson hasn't been interested in the idea, and I didn't need 150 of them. So for two years I've been picking up GW giant eagles in flea markets.
I rarely buy painted figures, but I asked the the Major Objective painting service if he could come up with sitting Americans. He modified some figures then made a mold of the body. Finally he molded bodies and attached various arms and heads. I think he did a very nice job. I painted the eagles and was ready to mount them, then realized I had exhausted my stash of GW flight stands. I don't care much for GW rules or their figures with the silly oversized weapons, but I do like their flight stands. None of the GW stores have the stands in stock -- they are a special order item. So you get to pay a couple dollars each plus $9 USD shipping. Instead I ordered clear plastic rods from Tower Hobby and mounted them in round wooden bases from that guy who sells the Chinese takeout containers full of bases for a fixed price. I think they turned out well and am excited to get them on the table soon. |

Major Objective has a mold now if you want to order them from him. |

Having a BIT of an issue with sizes, but nothing I can't rationalize. Otherwise, PULP-MINTY! Doug |

If they were good enough for Frodo, they are good enough for our GIs! Love the figs and painting. |

If the Allies capture some of the enemy mounts, they can offer them for use to their sister division, the 82nd AA (Archeopteryx Assault) |
