If you have any knocking about, the old spotlights from the imperial tank accessory sprue would be interesting as replacements for the kit headlights.

No substitute for taking a miniature to the toy shop really). As you say, GW 28mm proportions are peculiar. If you used a car in proprtion with the models heads or fists it would be approximately the size of a small loaf of bread ;)<br /><br />I think that in a world where an Imperial Rhino can transport ten armoured space marines and a driver, those wheels could easily transport four or five hive nobles.<br /><br />Like Evo, Im very interested to see where this ends up :)cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-50543775008477527012014-04-30T15:36:28.831+01:002014-04-30T15:36:28.831+01:00Wow, you definitely didn't choose the easy way...Wow, you definitely didn't choose the easy way, I would have gone teh lazy one wit a dark future model but I have to say it looks fab' !
