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.

Have you picked a single loadout or magnets?

This is good input. Thanks!

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

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?

I enjoyed this! Thank you.

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.

I suppose boxes I and II are male and female respectively...

What is the theme of box III?

Lithium Company Cavalry is pretty green...

Calling the FAT-Rod table ready. And that completes the 2nd Platoon.

An Arcana Bullwing Cavalry Section granting a bit of mobility and fire support to the infantry and irregulars of Lithium Company. The platoon theme is experimental and appropriated vehicles and automatons.

"Gaur Troop Transport" (FAT-Rod kitbash), painted very green, with metallic yellow windows and brown wheel arches.

Eventually I'll go back and do unit markings, some detailing, and weathering. But this is good for now.

"Kudu Armored Car" (1/48 Humber with an upsized cannon and coaxial beam weapon)
Painted two-tone: very green and muddy brown.

Eventually I'll go back and do unit markings, some detailing, and weathering. But this is good enough for now.

Watusi Armored Walker (Coyote Light Mech by Warlord Games, with a heavy lascannon of unknown (oldhammer) origin on the shoulder).
Painted matte green, with minimal details like a yellow visor, pink engine glow.

Tamaraw Mobile HQ (Armadillo by Grenadier) painted in a messy green, with brown, yellow, and khaki detailing. I hesitated for a long time before painting this. Worried about messing it up. But in the end decided to just go for it and experiment. Is it perfect? Hardly, but I will be happy to put it on the table.

I find the model a little goofy, but equally charming. It makes a plausible command vehicle. And the retro sci-fi look rounds out the eclectic collection of anachronistic kitbashes in the platoon.

The raw parts efficiency of her work earned her the title Subtechnicus. A position directly under Dr. Professor North, Archrevivifier, the notoriously egotistical genius. To Dr. Cain, it's a convenient arrangement. It keeps her bits box full, and leaves her time to engross in her own experiments.

To be honest, I'm not sure he has the best taste in jokes.
