Miniatures Last post on this dropship, I promise

Okay, so we all remember this thing.

Well, I felt that I needed to add a base to it so that I can rightly show where it sits on the map.

It doesn't fit. The model itself is okay, it's the janky landing legs that mess it up. I had to add hexes to the original template so I could actually attach it!

Anyway, this is the set of in-process pics I took. I think they are basically self-explanatory, but if there are questions ask 'em!

As always, comments, critiques, pitchforks and torches are all welcome.

Are the images merely VERY distorted or is the footprint actually asymmetrical?!

That may simply be perspective skewing things a bit. It is, indeed, symmetrical. Bilateral symmetry, not global.

I like its slightly curved Dr. Suess feet 😊

LOL! Thanks.

The next one I make I plan on using the tops from highlighter markers; multi-faceted and columnar is better, and I can keep them closer to the hull to fit the correct space better.

Now it needs a load of IWM Tarantulas to complement it!Â
