So I strip off all small bits and reinforce wheels etc as necessary.<br /><br />I keep experimenting with weathering. I oscillate between a 'slap it on all over and see what dries out' approach to a 'place each spot of mud individually' method.<br /><br />JohnJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-25411052901586112892009-04-19T10:22:00.000+01:002009-04-19T10:22:00.000+01:00Dear Rabidchild

The kit cost my wife £85.<br /><br />JohnJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-54460098376807005462009-04-19T10:21:00.000+01:002009-04-19T10:21:00.000+01:00Dear Geek,

Out of curiosity, when you kitbash an existing kit into the WH40k-verse, have you built it as a historical kit first?Frederick Paul Kiesche IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503079579685008728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-73321476353540528392009-04-18T18:08:00.000+01:002009-04-18T18:08:00.000+01:00That's an excellent use of that kit.

I've always eyed it and wondered how it would work in 40k, now I know: very well indeed.<br /><br />If you swapped out the deck mounted autocannon this would work nicely for a colossus siege mortar from the new codex. (It's a chimera chassis.) In fact, I wonder how it would work to take the mortar off the Karl there and simply mount it on the back of a chimera?Pick A Damn Armyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333087508205636705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-43375240165647952412009-04-18T17:07:00.000+01:002009-04-18T17:07:00.000+01:00This is, in my mind, the neatest thing you've ever...This is, in my mind, the neatest thing you've ever posted. I love this kit! I'll have to google around and see if I can't find one. It just fits in the 40k universe so well.The Inner Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794001001232191042noreply@blogger.com
