Yep, you are right, my bad!

Im still waiting for some more Walkers from Irrational Designs, unfortunately FUD has a three weeks backorder..
I also just realized the details are barely noticeable, ill do some new shots after cleaning and undercoating.

If you want more of those APC's in the metal, you won't have long to wait.

I love those Irrational Mechs...definitely need to commission some one day!

Do you have a knight that you could take a shot with as a size comparison ?

I ordered them in FUD and i agree they are expensive, but the details etc are well worth it, atleast for me. :)

They do look pretty nice. How expensive are they out of curiosity?

you can check the prices here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/87037/

You can get them pretty cheap, but they look pretty bad then (probably just for me), lots of stepping as you can see on some of the example pics.

Thanks , they are a nice size. I originally thought they might be too small.

they're nice, but at more than $20 each, an army of them is simply not feasible.
if they where cast in metal, and $8-10 then i would be all over that, but i dont really have another $500 to start another small scale stand-alone army.
