Thanks very much. Yes, it did. Most of the weapons, helmets, and equipment had to have masters scratch built in plastic or epoxy putty and then cast in resin using rubber molds. There simply weren't commercially available accessories, or the ones available weren't accurate.

Quite superb - a masterful set of skills.

Great stuff Tom. Having spent months painting my sons Warhammer figures, of which im particularly proud, I can appreciate the level of attention to detail that you have managed to gain. Very well done, and a nice collection, thanks for posting. Are there more? Regards Sean. P.S and no, my 'spacemarines' are nowhere near as impressive

[TRAJAN]
