I feel better after that … so here’s the kits I picked up the other day
A 28mm Rubicon Canadian Military Pattern truck , A Meng “egg” shaped U Boat and the SW Legion Rebel Commandos . In 28mm plalstic Rubicon is the best IMO , lots of detail and a variety of optional parts , their new Russian early war T-26 gives you parts to make 1 of 10 variants ! Sure some of the differences are small ( rear turret machine gun ) but some are a whole new upper hull and gun mount . They try to strike a balance of appealing to the gamer and modeller . And I think , for most of their kits, they do . Meng’s egg series boats and planes , as well as their Toon Tank series , are lots of fun and easy to build . The parts pretty much snap / push together , no glue needed ,plus they come in pre colored plastic so something to build with your children / grand children , plus it gives you a nice starting point for a whole variety of kit bashing ideas ( RetrokiT even has a whole bunch of resin aftermarket turrets and bits available , but pricey $$ ) . The Star Wars Legion game realy hasn’t taken off in my area so the LHS is discounting them to move them out . I’ve always wanted Star Wars figures to build / paint , so now’s my chance . The Rebel Commandos will fit in with the original Rebels I got a while ago .
I added a few GW grenades and pouches from parts box , and tried have them all in the same style / color cammo uniform to give them a more military than sci fi look .
Mage post some pictures of your Gundam . Always happy to help out if I can
Anybody want a bunch of GW Titian parts ( I think ) , a buddy gave me a bunch of parts , chainsaw sword , some kind of rockets , blasters , etc
