Magnetised my 'Caster turret. Much better arc indicator.

I like Big Guns and I cannot lie!!! :D

That is awesome. Your opponents will also appreciate it, too, as I'm sure you'll pivot the mod along with the base token.

In casual games I won't bother using the base token, it's way too fiddly.

Manaroo.

This one's been sitting on the painting table primed for a month or so, then sitting with the steel coat on the rear half but not much else for a week. Had a major lack of inspiration hit.

But done now. Please with the OSL and the Unhinged Astro looks cute if a little spider-like. The rest is a tad rushed.

Looks spectral. Spooky almost. Like a space ghost...!

If you don't know who Space Ghost is...well, you've missed out.

I've missed out then. Looks like it's probably Venture Bros?

It's an old Cartoon Network parody talkshow based on an older Hannah-Barbara cartoon series. Mostly stupid humor, but enough gold nuggets to make it worthwhile!

Space ghost coast to coast. Loved it

Daaamn that color scheme :D

Ridiculous Turtle Spaceship alert!

It's nearly done. I just need to cover and panel-line the flippers, greeble it all up a bit more, then it's painting time.

Wow!! Nice scratch Ghtroc! - is it supposed to be a 690 or 720 [can't really make out the size, despite the cutting mat grid] ?

EDIT: I guess, based on the YT exhausts & cockpit size, a 720 ?

The 720 is the image it's based on but it's significantly more 'artist's impression' than ;accurate reproduction'.

I plan to use it as a Shadow Caster.

That Ghtroc looks promising. The problem I've always had with the Ghtroc are all the curved surfaces it sports. Those can be particularly difficult to get right.

Yeah, it's not been easy. I'd've preferred the flippers to be compound curves but that's waaaaay beyond my skills.

Pretty much done now, just waiting for paint.

It's finished.

Bonus points to the person who can transliterate the name and to the person who can get the reference, as if it's hard.

Pleased with the scratchbuild, a little ticked off with my paintwork which is way too thick in places, and the OSL is... only OK. I need an airbrush to do big areas of OSL like this.

Love the conduit detailing...and really like that shade(s) of green -may have to try and match it for my Cargo Baroness ;)

The top coat is GW Scorpion Green for the record, but that particular colour's been out of print for like 15 years. I dread to think what I'm going to do when it runs out...

Vallejo Game Color?...

Yeah, finding a match for it is the trick.
