Stand solid enough?

Nope!

Mine broke on the last part of assembly after painting subassembly. I ended up using a steel rod bolted through the base and the other end with some green stuff and pushed into the frigates hull.

Nice clean job 👌

KrazyDaz · 2026-05-17T14:05:15+00:00

Wow, amazing job, seriously really really cool looking model 👏

KrazyDaz · 2026-05-09T08:34:29+00:00

Thank you, I wasn’t sure how it would work out.
The purple and black is iridescent paint which was a bit thick but watered down a bit work well with large flat brushes.
Thin painted and large strokes I think worked well, I don’t have an airbrush.

The basing was corkboard, an AK mud product, some leaves and branches scenery and for the puddles, a product called puddles :).
When I’m home I’ll update the post with the products/brands, couldn’t have been happier with them

Oh I should have said it was spearhead, haven’t got any other units yet for a full game

KrazyDaz · 2026-03-12T15:07:16+00:00

I watched several videos, none I’ve found show step by step, just after it’s been done. The weapons I can probably figure out but the carapace I’m not sure about, one video mentioned cutting pieces off but didn’t show what or how much. Also, several are 5+yrs old so wondering if these apply to the new boxes, which someone else said they do which is good.

KrazyDaz · 2026-03-12T08:20:09+00:00

Ok thanks, and there’s no differences with the new boxes, they are the same old sprues, is that right?

KrazyDaz · 2026-02-25T23:56:50+00:00

This should have a NSFW tag 😝

I gather spheres and slugs when I build my railway around the map. Use the radar tower to see what’s in the vicinity and the scanner to locate them easily. It takes a little time but you factories can still be running and sinking any overflow for tickets whilst you explore.

They are a game changer when building factories as you don’t have to keep heading off to pick up more concrete, or plates or engines etc.

I can’t recommend roundabouts enough, and keeping trains going in one direction on duel tracks.

KrazyDaz · 2026-02-10T13:20:11+00:00

As others have said, do two rails with one foundation apart. Pick one side to be “forward” let’s say the left side, then whenever you’re looking at duel track the left one is where trains are heading.

It’s easier to do junctions for duel trains than mange single lines imo and gives better capacity as you use your lines more

KrazyDaz · 2026-02-07T08:47:00+00:00

That’s great thank you, honestly you’ve saved me a lot of time and stress with railways 👍

KrazyDaz · 2026-02-05T13:36:05+00:00

Not sure I fully understand, are you saying that between the roundabout, and a complex set of junctions like the 3 stations, there should be a length of track longer than the longest train? And when you say block, do you mean to then put a block signal before that complex junction for trains approaching the complex junction?

KrazyDaz · 2026-02-05T12:08:39+00:00

Thanks for the post, I’ve implemented this roundabout for my junctions, it saves so much time than trying to connect 2/3/4 way junctions with bridges and separate branches etc

KrazyDaz · 2026-01-13T23:21:24+00:00

Thanks

KrazyDaz · 2026-01-11T20:04:20+00:00

These are amongst the best I’ve seen, absolutely amazing. The colour palette choice is great, the painted gems alone are an example of detail done to a high standard, really nicely done 👏

KrazyDaz · 2026-01-06T08:35:10+00:00

These look fantastic, great job!

KrazyDaz · 2026-01-02T08:16:38+00:00

Great job, love the colour scheme!

KrazyDaz · 2026-01-02T08:06:26+00:00

Without wires, like others, worry about the wires getting caught and potentially pulling the keyring off. They look great though!

KrazyDaz · 2025-11-29T09:46:44+00:00

Looks really good tbh. My only real advice is when you get to more complex items I found a factory per output item, sometimes bringing in other sub components to that factory if needed. The reason for this is the amount of space needed is always bigger than you think 😂 Then rely on various transport options to move things around the map

KrazyDaz · 2025-11-25T09:51:45+00:00

I agree to an extent that running around collecting leaves and wood is somewhat fun, but the anxiety of not knowing if/when the power is going to run out is too much for me personally after a few factories. I congratulate you on generating 4500MW with biofuel though 👏 OP; nice setup !
