Zeller Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Looks good. I would consider darkening the tracks to break up the boltgun parts. How was the thunderfire kit? Did the parts fit together well? Many mold lines? Would you recommend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Carlin Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Thanks for your comment And now to address your questions, this kit was probably the best metal kit Ive ever worked with it seams to go together like magic... Except for one part of it that is insane you know the part at the back where the ammo goes in? Well the cannon is split down the middle and after they go together you need to put that part in there is a shamrock like hole for it but if its in there then it doest fit together seamlessly which bothered me. I solved the problem by peeling away at the parts to make the indent bigger and the ammo feed smaller and after that its totally fine. But im serious about the rest of it, you keep thinking "This will need to be pinned" or somthing but it goes together like bread and butter. It just ends up being right and sturdey. The mould lines are easy dealt with. Now to answer your final question I heartly aprove this, it will prove a fine addition to your army. One a side note the tech marine goes together very well also apart from his gun holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Finish the tech marine! He looks really awesome want to see him painted. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 This is good work, but you could take better pictures. I think in the recent contests taking pictures counts for a lot, I'll have to one paint better and two invest in a better camera and miniature photo setup if I want to win. But I didn't expect to win, I think my models look better in real person and I suspect yours do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I like that it came together easily that alone may make me buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilius Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 This model, alongside the Kantor one, is tempting me to temporarily set aside my Guardians of the Covenant and tackle a nilla marine list... Damn all of you who are show casing the new goodies! Dont you know that some of us have army lists to finish and dont need to hear the sirens call of the new and shiny...

Shaun Carlin Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Sorry im going to have to show you new stuff within the next few days.
