Your ultimate wargaming project...

[Quaralane]

@Malivictus,
Sound like impressive projects for those armies..
I actually worked up an army of Chaos Battle Sisters back when I played.
Mostly, I played Eldar, and Marines, though.
Eldar was my own craftworld
Marines were based on the "FireHawks" chapter.

I dream of one day finishing my metal thunderhawk I purchased back in '98 or '99..... I have done bits of it but the thing is so friggin heavy that even the brass rods and pins I use hardly hold it together.

I'd like to say I want to cast it in lighter materials but I would be affraid of having the wrath of a someone come down on my head for such actions.

So long as you're recasting for your own use, there's no real problems, GalaxyChief.
The trouble would start if you were to recast and market them.

That Chaos Sisters army I mentioned above was made mostly from resin copies of the three or four figures I had at the time

I have long dreamt of getting my hands on a Thunderhawk. But the price is just too much. And Games Workshop, for some strange reason, seems reluctant to put it out in plastic...

Instead I've gone with a much smaller scale and is now dreaming of writing a "what if" Late War Leviathans briefing for Flames of War. Got a Ratte almost ready to run and is slowly starting to collect the pieces needed to convert a few Maus, E-100, and E-100 88 mm. Flakzwilling tanks. Lots of other interesting paper panzer to look at too, but only so much time.

Now, if only I had a 3D printer so I didn't have to sculpt it all by hand...

Look at (if you can still find it)  Mid-War monster in the flames of war range,  it can certainly spice up a "normal game"  Those KV5 are BRUTAL on the table top.

Already on my must-have list with a platoon of KV-2's for support. I just love those silly Russian tanks with oversized turret.

Unfortunately there seems to be many Flames of War players who have an irrational hatred towards the mid-war monsters and the can't-play-them-at-tournaments have caused some players to outlaw them.

Does anyone know if the KV-5 has been made as a scale model?

My ultimate project is and has been ongoing for about three years now... An entirely built and painted one-of-a-kind all custom penal legion/traitor guard army.  Every piece to date is completely custom.  Lots of Forgeworld and random bits from Pig Head and others.  I have hundreds of troops and ogres valkrye and tanks out the wazoo.  I might just finish it this year!  Anyway, I started my blog just to help keep me motivated to finish this army.  Naturally, I wound up doing other things with the blog and my ADD..... BUT I'm further along now than a was when I started it!

I recall one yank gaming club doing a 6mm game of Operation Marketgarden on a 120 foot table which meant they could squeeze the whole operation on to it, all the bridges and darn near all the forces. Probably have to be a lottery jackpot win for me to realise something similar, but we caN BUT DREAM.

I've never owned a paint booth and have yet to find it a necessity for me personally.

I spray acrylics at very low pressure right in my hobby room and never have had anyone in the house complain about it.

Enamels would cause a problem for sure but I stop using them years ago.

what kind of pressure are we talking about ken ?     and what is your Mixture...   75 - 25 thinner to paint ?
the lowest I can do is about 20psi !   do you do even Lower than that ?

Thanks in advance !
