Just an update

Ok, as you all may have noticed I have not updated in a bit. Long story short is that I was forced to move out of my previous residence and have moved into a new apartment. Needless to say things are a bit chaotic. Due to said move I will be unable to work on anything until I can get our household unpacked and situated. Now for the really bad news... My workshop that I had set up with all manor of tools which allowed me to work on larger projects is now all in storage for the forseeable future which will limit much of what I can do. (grumble grumble)

So, until I can move into a larger place again and have a full shop, I will be limited to smaller projects or alternate build techniques.

Just so the bad news is not so bad, here is a pic of a conversion for how my force does the Goliath remote control demolitions device. The model is a really straight forward conversion using a 1/72 scale Renalut FT-17, a fuel drum, and part of the communications antenna set on the Imperial Vehicle Accessory sprue. For a bit more interest I put the winged skull on the barrel.

  3. I nabbed that from a post a long while back on the Imperial Guard message board http://commissar.proboards.com/index.cgi
    from a thread discussing various shotgun ideas. I do not remember who posted the idea initially.
