    hi guys. a while back I posted in radicons looking for suggestions on how to paint these guys, since they arrive molded in all white. I finally got myself in gear and painted them up a few days ago. here they are, modeled by drift!

    they're of a solid construction, I'd never fear that they would break. the only drawback is that there's a bit of a rough texture to the surface of the plastic, which I think is inherent to 3D printing. the joints are really floppy on the legs, but tighten up a bit with painting. I used glossy tamiya red, black, and chrome silver for these guys.

    they're still available for purchase, and you need to have a minimum $25 order if anyone's interested in them:

    A Targetmaster CHAINSAW?

    Holy poop, that's awesome. May have to spring for that + Ramrider's "Dustup".
