Tray 5A for those that are interested - 35mm x 45mm slots and 25mm deep = perfect for infantry bases.

Shame you ran out of that particular bloody tray at cannonade before I could buy a set!

#Phil

PS - would LOVE to see you guys do a case that can take 8-10 of your half size trays sitting flat when being carried (like the old i-kore bags if anyone remembers them?).

Lots of stuff (like 15mm) doesn't like sitting on its side during transport, and carrying a truly massive case everywhere isn't ideal :)

Airbrushed and shaded some stuff - ran out of gunboat green airbrush paint, so have had to order some more before I can get the recon infantry done - I did get the drop troops and vehicles base coated though.

Here are some of the infantry - I settled on a 2:1 Ink / water(had run out of "proper" thinner as well - sigh) mix.

And here are hte 2 Recon walkers.

In my excitement to get the ink on I completely forgot to prepaint the guns , buts its not biggy - just an extra step.

I've magnetised my tank turret - makes it handy for storage, posing and painting - and I can attach a big iron nail to the magnet on each side to holt the bits while I airbrushed them!

Yup I have done mine the same way as Wonderdog. I have seen Evilrik do some nice conversion work where he sculpted a canvass mantle cover over the top too which looked pretty slick.

I like em - boxy but functional - a nice alternative to the ARC fleet grav vehicles - and no doubt will prove popular for people playing other 15mm stuff largely due to thier reasonably generic appearance - they could fit in any future war/sci-fi setting 2050 onwards tbh.

I fitted mine by pinning it along its length (rather than through the flat bit of the barrel mount) and straight into the tank turret, and bedding it into the socket with some greenstuff - basically using the greenstuff like putty to support the barrel while and after it dries.

Mine is super solid now - just used it to hold the turret by while I airbrushed it. ( Its currently drying ;) )

Hi guys,

Just saying hello and needing a little advice.

Just assembling and was finding that the railgun fixing point quite loose any tips you can offer as I don't think Super glue going to cut it. I thought pinning but I don't see how that could be done?

Shaun.
