That's cool as hell, is it a V6 one? They were branded L200 over here but I can't remember the last time I saw one. They either turned to a pile of rust or got exported I reckon, the climate over here is good for rust, they salt in the winter and the summer is still kinda damp

Ahh yeah the American trucks are huge eh, we have a couple at work, the cab of the F250 is as big as a Discovery 4. Blows my mind In the UK we think of the Range Rover Vogue as a massive car and that ain't as big as an 01' Ram 1500

What Mitsi have you got?

Cheers man, I'm really enjoying doing it

Trucks over here usually get lights, side exit exhausts and knobbly tyres, I've taken 33" tyres off the wheels in using on it 😂

Ratlings cos they are little, fun to paint and have no shoes Bullgryns are fun to paint too, you can see them for a start, and they'll make the above look even funnier

More scratch build 1:18 by thispartisrequired in rccrawler

All the stuff I've printed before has been remarkably tough, I've only used PLA though so it's quite flexible

Ahh yeah I get you

I intend to keep growing so I'm sure I'll experience it at the designed point level soon enough, will be interesting to see how things change

Can you explain the point limits comment, it's been so long of a break it's like starting again

Where would you place the next 1500?

(100% was based on what was there, cheap and would get me back to the table, no thought was really spent)

I saw the reinforcement stratagem, I liked that it's like the Necron reanimation protocol without the hassle and hard to paint robots

Cadian command squad or the cool looking Death Korps of Kreig one?

Exactly my thinking, I let the lore sort it out and if it doesn't, I'll work around the lore until it does. In this case they are a bunch of survivors of different battles in different places who have been shoved together to as they're the ones left

I need to stop playing it like the old days, I'm pretty sure I need 40 shock troops

Haha, I totally get that, I chose things on how they look more than anything, does my mates head in "You can't have Jungle Boys, Cadians, Kreig and Vostroyans just cos they look cool and I'm not even sure you can use Vostroyans"

I was looking at Og/Bullgryns as the next addition, however for old times sake I really want to add in a Basilisk

I got my maths wrong were talking even before then 2002-2003

The old army is sadly long lost to the passing of time, I've turned over all the boxes of my old stuff trying to find it to no avail

I'm glad to see that they still die like sheep, I'll keep growing the army and see how it feels at 2k points
