I had missed that one previously. The conversion fits well, and the brass eagle come up very nicely too.
Now to search the depths of Tuff's site...  |
It appears that unfortunately the photos are lost. They were posted on the site's original forum Original Forum under the Events section, but all the links appear to be broken. I tried altering the URL's to the new hosts, but it appears they've been "Cleaned". Sorry. Maybe Tom has them in a file somewhere?_________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Yes, I've been meaning to say that. ?I use the hatches from the hatch sprue. ?I'm ordering some as you requested Tas, so you should have some extras ... to use for conversions. Since you get one of each type as discribed by Jimbo, on each sprue.

There's been some discussion of making Salamanders on another thread:
IG Salamanders: A new essential?
Essentially there are three options right now:
1. No conversion i.e. buy the FW ones or wait for the E-A minis to be released.
2. Little conversion i.e. the Jimbo and Mates route: Use a Bombard base and add Ork gunners and whatnot.
3. A lot of conversion AKA the Tuffskull (TS) method in which the Salamander superstructre is built up with plasticard and other materials. TS has used old Eldar dreadnought weapons for the Salamander guns as well.
Shabbat shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I have both versions of the Epic F/W "Sally". I'll probably buy one of each of the G/W versions, if/when they are released ...

Just to point out, I also used a bombard / basilisk hull for my conversions, I just added the armour plates around the open top section with plasticard.
Its only 3 strips & a tiny amount of GS in the gaps - they were by no means huge conversions.
Oh well, I like them  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Jimbo,
I haven't touched anyone's messages but my own so it wasn't me unless it was my message. I know that messages being edited bothers you so I've washed my hands of the mess.
If I did make that typo... sorry... it was an honest mistake.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
P.S.
I found the "Jombo" in question in my own message and fixed it.

Maksim,
Did you get the link with the old Thud Gun, from the Dropship site? ?
You mentioned it on the Epic Yahoo site late last night... Alan sounded like he thought it was new...

L-4,

Yes, I did. Carl painted an old plastic Thud Gun. It was not a new model as Alan suspected.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
P.S.
I'm out to the gym and then off to the Blood Center. Talk to everyone in a few hours.
