The mini itself is lovely, but following it step by step really gets you involved, so thanks for the pics!<br />The mini is charming beyond awesome, but it's your paintjob what makes it stand out.

Having it slot so well into a range from over 30 years ago is an unexpected bit of wish fulfillment, like when a Bladerunner sequel is great, for example.<br /><br />It is hardly mentioned in the above post, but the paint scheme is well chosen and really pops.<br /><br />I want to play a few Stargrave games against the dastardly Quirke and his astro-scurvy riddled swabs.cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-14943003329082692642021-10-24T10:09:47.903+01:002021-10-24T10:09:47.903+01:00I agree, the Cobalt-1 mercenary with the whip has ...I agree, the Cobalt-1 mercenary with the whip has a similar look.
