Hang on, does it come with a chainsaw?

Oh yeah, and the Firefly model are coming in hot. Though they are almost twice the price of the other contenders.

Ooh rah head on Firefly works better than I expected. Less Weird War X and more 15m-into- the-future.

Mantic GCPS Ranger packs fit alrightish on the Ooh rah. But the effect is underwhelming when using the Ooh rah arms. The latter being sleeveless and mostly extended straight.

The Ooh rah box already includes a slim-line backpack that makes a plausible grav-pack. Bloody shame you only get half as many packs as you get bodies.

Needs his thyroid checked, but other than that, the helmet works me thinks.

Experiments in jump troops, starring the new Firefly Infantry from #Konflikt47, Mantic GCPS, and Wargames Atlantic.

Feel free to chime in with a comment, if you can overlook the incidental ode to Hemmingway and the camera being an iPotato Pro Extra II.

Experimenting with jump pack options.
Left to right:
Packs: Firefly, Mantic GCPS, Ooh Rah, GCPS again
Bodies: Firefly, and thrice Ooh rah
Heads: Cannon Fodder Hazmat and Ooh Rah with night viz

I think the WGA heads work well with the Firefly bodies, though the hazmat helmets need a non-trivial amount of neck work.
Left to right: Bodies: Firefly, Ooh Rah, Firefly
Heads: Cannon Fodder, ditto, Ooh Rah

Very cool take on those models!

what a lovely family portrait

Thanks. Yeah, I need to find some other kind of wire. "Free" is not cheap enough for the amount of effort needed to make that A-string work. Might be ok for terrain or something where it doesn't have to bend.

Primer went on smoothly. Cured for a full day. Then, with light handling, it came off just as easily.

Yes, a batch of 25, thanks for asking.

T_T

Gave them an IPA-bath in the ultrasonic jacuzzi. Not sure if I should put the work in to get the rest off or just spray something else over it.

Ugh!

Infinity Maverick.
Nice model with a very intimidating amount of fine detail.

Body horror turned into painting-terror.

This dabbing (or is it flossing? maybe the fish-stick?) fella was a total nightmare to assemble. The guitar-string nearly took my eye out, twice.

Was this guy why privateer press went out of business?
Such a pain to work with.

Wow, that one really came together! Looks great.

Silly little dudes, mostly... @bearinthehoods.bsky.social · 14d

Have you picked a single loadout or magnets?

Silly little dudes, mostly... @bearinthehoods.bsky.social · 14d

This is good input. Thanks!

I might have some bulkier drum-magazines that could fit... need to check the bits box and experiment.

Silly little dudes, mostly... @bearinthehoods.bsky.social · 14d

Like a tube magazine?

Going to field at least 14, so I might cut some corners. 😅

I think it might be inspired by Lanchester SMG, but I don't know much about historical firearms.

Could this gun pass for a shotgun/riot-gun?

That mech is 👨‍🍳💋

Silly little dudes, mostly... @bearinthehoods.bsky.social · 16d

I enjoyed this! Thank you.

Silly little dudes, mostly... @bearinthehoods.bsky.social · 17d

Nice! Delightful green, and nice coherency. I prefer this over the box art version.

There is also a plain old "Spinne" light panzermech with four legs.
