So there we go, the Brothers Grim are done, time to switch to their big cousin.
I'm going to do some tinkering with the base to hide the spots of glue, but that should not be a big thing. oh, and the corpses in the main body need a touch up, but, he's game ready.
So, I'm currently not a fan of the GW bases as I think they are extortionate for what you get and since I have a boat load of expanded PVC sheets knocking about (and not the kinky kind, seriously, don't google PVC sheets!). The Green sheet is a stuff called Sintra board, its used in robotics as a light and sturdy construction material and I've seen it used as poster board as well, I'm yet to find a cheap source in the UK, but in Germany I found it in the german equivalent of B&Q. the stuff I have was being thrown out after being used as a notice board. I cut it with a circular cutter (http://www.pk-pro.de/TS-Compass-Cutter) that cost €7.50 and I've got about a 1m by 2m sheet left... much cheaper that the GW option.
Aaaaaany Hooo, the two large bases are 150mm and the smaller one is 120mm, the Dreadnought base is there for comparison. Can you guess what they are for, and Nope the scorpion will not be going on one of them.....
