"15mm Nuclear Shrimp Hulk Suit" Topic

Those great guys at Nuclear shrimp sent me some 15mm samples to check out.

I decided to built the hulk suit first.

Straight forward build, though some skill is required.The fit is good but I would recommend pinning.
Pinning is always recommended as it aids in helping to glue the parts + being sturdier.( I use 1mm stainless steel rods to pin ). Just minor flash & some minute bubbles found & both are easily fixed.

I decided to convert the pose and do a mini diorama. Terrain is made of plastic sprue & usb cable wire. I imagined a mobile suit + infantry support patrol in a urban setting ( ala Titanfall ) . Suit is manouvering down a slope of girders & concrete.

All the joints were cut & separated , then pinned to allow maximum flexibility ( I even drilled & pinned the elbow & wrist ) You need a lot of skill & patience to separate the knees as you can easily damage the parts. I like the resin they have used as it is easily shaped.

Flat cable was used for detail. Damaged milliput extra armour , GS baggage & paper straps.
Though more eye candy , I did not put hydraulic cables on the outside as I always felt that they would be too fragile in a firefight.

I added aerials & may add an anti personnel m/c gun. I will glue the hatch semi open to reveal the windscreen underneath.

The model reminds me of a Mechwarrior Bushwacker & I would use it as a Primaris Space Marine Dreadnaught also. Can't wait to see the heavier version.

I put size comparisons . See my other posts for more pics.

Still a WIP……

Thanks for your comments.

Very nice but it's no longer the model they are selling.

I'd leave the "face" armor off the hulk suits entirely, and all of a sudden they're the big arm suits from Avatar.

I really dig those UEF Rangers, they're dead-on for the UNPF Special Unit's powered assault armor in Michael Z. Williamson's The Weapon. Just need some bulky soft-armored troops to be the Freehold Black Ops team, and some 15mm leopards (the big felines, not tanks).

Very excited for delivery of these from the ks.

Lion , I think I'm going to use side magnets so as to use it off, open or closed. Yup those rangers are excelente

I don't think you would be disappointed 2Ball,I updated comparison pics for 28mm …. bottom of post… Can't wait to get my order also …..
