Get away from her you BITCH!

Ripley might have a Class 2 rating. But she probably never thought the day would come when she would have to strap one on to handle a big monster!

 Another Dropship in the pipe exclusive report. Coming soon to a docking bay or landing pad near you - the DIMOG Hercules loader.

Pack TTC-2011 is a conversion kit that allows you to build the Hercules using the core components from Khurasan's Federal Army DIMOGs. To be clear, pack TTC-2008 or TTC209 is required to complete the Hercules loader variant.

The Hercules conversion kit also comes with a civilian driver.  It would be easy enough to strap on some guns, welded armour plate (plasticard) and Voila! The Hercules becomes an improvised assault vehicle pressed into service by the resistance or survivors of xeno infestation! In other words...."A bug hunt!"

Seriously though - one or more of these would be excellent dressing for your loading bay/starport scene - but also as an improvised  weapon in asymmetric Sci Fi and post apocalypse scenarios or even with a little conversion - a Space Orkz Mekka!

Available from Khurasan Miniatures shortly.

(the definition of 'shortly' may go up as well as down.)

Cheers

Khurasan's "Hog" Mk1 WIP Continues

.

If you are wondering, the Hog is taking longer than planned. Following several dry runs assembling the Hog I was left less than confident that the joints for the weapons or legs would stand up to tabletop use. So I carefully drilled out the joints for the legs and cannons by hand.

I've also deployed my granite glue, just to be sure. This is an epoxy resin used on granite stone fireplaces and essentially welds stone to stone. Short of a thermo-nuclear engagement, nothing will shift it, but it needs to be mixed and used in small batches as it sets FAST, which meant a new mix for each joint.

Once the chassis and legs were completed, I glued to a base, again using the granite glue. I recommend taking stock at this point before you attach the weapons and crewman/operator. As only now can you truly start to see the potential of the model outside it's intended role. It struck me that it would be a great vehicle for Space Orks or even Vargr, the latter only needing a headswop. I also tried other weapon systems I had around spare, such as a GZG tri-barrelled rotary cannon, which looked really good.

The sides of the Hog are completely open. I've attached a small bracing bar from plasticard half way up to give the impression of the crewman sitting in a cage with an armoured glacis/door.

Just waiting for the groundwork on the base to dry before continuing....good excuse to stop and watch PREDATORS.

More later......

Khurasan's "Hog" Mk1 WIP

Khurasan's Hog Mk1  is still a work in progress. All construction efforts ceased for a good while this morning when a very attractive SNP supporter turned up at the door to canvass my political views..... she's only just left (ahem!) Here's an exploded view of the Hog.
