Cheers Phil,
At that price, I don't think the defence budget can stretch to one of those, never mind a squadron  :rolleyes:

I agree, that is why I haven't got one (yet).  I like 72nd for as much of my sci-fi as possible to go with my other 72nd stuff but the kits that come out in resin are just out of my budget.  Would love to grab the Battlestar Galactica fighters they have as well as the German Flying wing from Raiders of the Lost Ark but don't see it happening unless I hit the big one sometime.

Still, they have some exquisite detail and they are on the wish list.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

That landship is AWESOME!!!!!!!   :wub:

That must be some pretty hard and compacted ground though if that leviathan is leaving such shallow tread tracks.  I'd expect the thing to be carving ruts in the ground since it probably weighs as much or more than a WWII destroyer  :blink:

Still its a ridiculously well executed build.  I would of added some Gatling guns or early machine guns though to keep the pesky infantry from sneaking up and boarding the thing as it plods along.

Those are gatling guns above the side turrets for just such action.

He also made the enemy cavalry from photo etch he created. :blink:
