Picked this up a good few months ago, cleaned it up, undercoated and basecoated it, game it a rust wash and then...left it...
The Skeeta was purchased as a tester of the quality of the Ramshackle Games vehicles - at £5 it was rather cheap, but the quality of the cast isn't great - lots of little bits that needed tidying up and filling, with no detail at all on the bottom of the cast. Which isn't such a big deal to me personally, as no-one will be seeing the bottom of it, plus it's covered in mud and rust. The Skeeta was very easy to assemble, coming in five parts - the main body/chassis/cab and the wheels.
Here is a scale shot alongside the forklifts posted yesterday - small but still can fit two based 28mm miniatures in the back. Now I'm wondering whether I should get the pickup truck from Ramshackle as well...
nice painting! I think those forklifts scale just fine. They just look "heavy duty" to me.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Yeah, they do scale pretty well! Rather cheap and decently detailed too.
ReplyDeleteSimply badass spaceport terrain. I have dreams about doing something similar in 15mm.

Nice! Would you be willing to do me a favor? Could you take a picture of that Skeeta next to a 15mm figure? It looks like it might work just fine as a larger 15mm vehicle, but I'd love to see a comparison shot...
ReplyDeleteEli - You should! I'm aiming for a lot of the stuff I build for it to be multi-genre, so it's rather adaptable!
ReplyDeleteCC - I don't actually have any 15mm miniatures at the moment I'm afraid! I could take a picture with another 28mm miniature that you might be more familiar with? :)
Thanks for the offer, but I'm good, I think. Looks to me like this vehicle would scale pretty well for 15mm.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile...what do you use for your rust wash please? I've got a BUNCH of terrain that needs to get all rusty, and this looks like it works very nicely. Thanks!
