7th Scansin (1st section) Part 2.

And done, it only took 2 months longer than planed but the 1st Section is finally finished.  Now I just have to start and finish 2nd Section before the 23rd of November.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Walking the lines of Leman Russes, Marshal Argos appeared deep in though.  None of his staff or Regimental Commanders dared to interrupt him.  They new from experience that when he was ready he would begin.  Until then the talked softly among themselves, following the Marshals lead.   "Gentleman, as I'm sure you've noticed we have received new Orders.  started Marshal Argos I'll be going into details as soon as we start the operation planning.  Until then please make sure your Regiments are ready for deployment.  If your equipment isn't serviceable, fix it.  If you can get it fixed prior to deployment, leave it or destroy it in place.  If your troopers are sick, or injured they have until the "step off" to get healed.  After that they'll be left behind with the baggage train.

This is going to be a big one.  We'll need every lasgun we can muster if we're going to pull this off.  Make sure your troopers have their heads on straight, and their gear squared away.  

Attend to your duties, my aides will call for you to attend the Op Meeting, once I've conferred with Field Headquarters.

Inquisitor (54mm)

Ah, I found these stuck away in the cellar last week as I was searching for something else.  Unfortunately they didn't survive the move to Germany 9 years ago, nor the 2 moves within the last 9 years.   But before I strip the paint I thought I'd post up how they originally looked 11 sum odd years ago when I first bought and painted these guys up at GW Glen Burnie USA.

Oh, yeah!  This was the first time I had ever painted such large models of people.  Up until this point I had only painted 28mm, 1/35, and 1/72 scale models, and even then they weren't to a very high standard.  I do hope that I have gotten better over the years. 

As you notice they're quite scratched and chipped, and somewhere in the box is a thumb for the Termie armored Inquisitor.  As for the shoulder mounted Psi-Cannon on the other Inquisitor, I don't think I ever mounted it, I have no idea where that could be.

Now I know I still have the Female Inquisitor and the Space Marine somewhere as well.  I just don't know if where, so it's looking like I may have to take another trip to the cellar to see what I can see. 

Kurgan Winter Guard (shameles plug)

Not sure how many of you are familiar with Mad Robot Miniatures, but if your not go check out their website .  He's been offering some really nice bits for a while now, and although I personally haven't tried any out, I have been thinking about it more and more. (I need to finish my other projects first)

Now he's offering a sort of kickstarter call Roll Call, where you can get the above miniatures for a reduced price.   I love the workups he's done (Works in Progress), somewhere around page 50 or so in the thread, and even though these guys aren't my cup of beer I still thought I'd give them a short plug.

And expect to see more of the 7th Scansin soon.

Review: 28mm steampunk inspired heavy weapons (Part 2)

 And here's part 2. Part 1 can be found here = Part 1

The good:
Very little clean-up was needed. I only found one place with a little bit of mold release left over, and that was gone in a jiffy.  I would still recommend giving the kits a good washing though as it is resin and all.

As I stated in the last post, 90% of the flash flakes off at the touch.  To get the last 10% you need a hobby knife and a couple of files.  (Don't take your wife's nail file though...  They won't like it when they find out what you've been using it for). 

As promised here's a few pics showing off the awesome detail in the kits:

The Bad: 

No Insturctions... Although to be honest these kits are super easy to put together and I really don't see a need for printed instructions.  The only time I wished I had a picture was assembly of the Rocket Launcher.  I used the pictures that were on thee kick-starter page for reference.  IF the good Col. Gravis reads this, maybe putting up some finished model pics on your website with a note as to where we could see the pics would be nice in the future.

The Middle:

The points where the mold connected to the wheel was a bit worse, but if you turn the that part to the bottom it's not visible any whey.

There were also a couple of mold lines here and there but they were easily removed with a file.

And as requested by "Buffer" in the last post here is a comparison shot of the Bombardier.

Left to Right:  Mix of Victoria Mini's an GW Legs, Bombardier, GW Preatorian, GW Master of the fleet.
