Haha! Welcome back Drax your gonna love it! Its amazing and might scatter half the game but when it finally hits it can be absaloutly devastating! Looking forward to seeing it painted!
Make sure you magnetise the missiles on! I done this very quickly and easily and there's nothing quite like making launch and explosion sounds as you fire (and of course, the fact that you can keep a visual count of how many rockets you have left!!!
I figured that without gluing the targetting mantlet and weapon rack I could double up the manticore as a Trojan! Still not decided how exactly to work this to be adaptable... so the one I painted actually still comes apart! I'll figure out the pinning or magnets for it at some point!
Hope you're all well; sorry for the work-induced radio silence of late.
The Manticore is an awesome kit. Been painting mine for a year now!
ReplyDeleteCool! Welcome back, Drax!

ReplyDeleteOooh, Drax is going competetive? ;) I love that GW Manticore, sometimes I wish I hadn't built mine.
ReplyDeleteAwesome model. Hoping to get one for my birthday or xmas, but it'll end up the pile of plastic crack still waiting to be built.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing this bad boy built!

ReplyDeleteGood to see you're still around mate. I'm very envious of your new piece of kit, need to get one for the Corbanian 1st me thinks ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, old friends: it's really appreciated!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm still unable to comment on many of your blogs.
>Hal'jin: No chance, mate.
>Oink: Every chance, mate!
Wow: this is indeed a fantastic kit!
ReplyDeleteMy only dislike is the sprue: the branches of plastic which hold the pieces to the sprue are frustratingly thick.
Crumbs, though: this is what a plastic tank kit should be like - it's perfectly machined!
Nope. You cannot tempt me. Although.... to would be nice for the heretics to have a bit more in the way of boom.
