2nd Longdrop Regulars


Project Beast-people is on a temporary hiatus. The electrics have blown in my painting cave due to it being a 'orrible damp oubliette. I got a sparky to take a look, but he was having none of it, because it's a 'orrible damp oubliette. Bugger! Then I was going to sort it out myself, but Mrs Hob was having none of that either, just because I have no idea what I'm doing. Chicks, eh? 

So, while I figure out illumination which doesn't require mains electric, here's one I found in the archives; half a unit of fodder for Turnip28 that I kitbashed and painted for a buddy a couple of years ago. They are the 2nd Longdrop Regulars. I can't quite recall whether I used Perry or Victrix sprues, although I seem to remember using French bits for the arms, legs and backpacks and snipping the shakos from somewhere else, so the answer may well be both. The heads and torsos are 3d prints from free stl files hosted by Turnip's creator, Max FitzGerald. Then it was just a case of hiding the joins with green stuff, tufts and muck. I think they came out pretty well.


 Hopefully, the normal erratic service will return soon. Right then, I'm off to buy some candles...
