Here are some pictures of the fiddler mech painted up and converted from white dragon miniatures, now OPP. Even though the model is big more like 1/35 scale does fit in with 28mm figs as shown with an empress modern British soldier. Which is paint scheme went with. As I painting the British up in a desert camo scheme liked the looked that used it on the mech. Not sure I scaled some the cameo right but still like it. A near future machine of war to compete with tanks. I did not like the look of the right gun it came with especially the size difference with the left gating gun. So scratch built a beam energy weapon for the right arm. Think it looks more balance. Also I am looking for another one for another idea I have. It anyone has one want to sell / trade let me know. See if can work something out.

Such a cool mech. Will you be washing and weathering it soon? Will you post pics afterwards? |

Gotta jump in here. That's great converting on the gun. Niceley done sir. But, as I've mentioned on other posts before, the whole effect is massiveley let down by the crude basing. Some simple basing with a textured paint and a wash and drybrush is extremely easy. the model itself would be great finished off with a wash and some highlighting / weathering as well. |

You've got further than me, I've got one 95% assembled and basecoated. Hit a wall with the gatling gun, when I assembled the barrels they set with a slight twist, lots of debonder and many anglo saxon words later got them apart (need to make another barrel spacer disc though) and I have another in the box… they are an awesome kit that will see production again. |
