While in Portsmouth this afternoon I spotted that the Modelzone store was having a closing sale. While this is rather sad news, it does mean they have some real bargains to be had and I picked up some Trade Federation tanks from Revell for the princely sum of £5.00 a piece!
I built one of the tanks up this evening and must say its quite a nice simple kit being part of the Revell Easy Fit Star Wars range but still looks really rather good and at a scale of 1:50 is just about perfect for a rather high tech battle tank for an Imperial Guard expeditionary force I've been working on for an alternative Rogue Trader setting!
It comes pre painted but I will be doing some conversion on it before giving it a fresh, if somewhat battered coat of paint.
Speaking of a revised Rogue Trader, its well worth having a peek at ANDROID ARTS STARSWORD musings for a really interesting alternative take on the 40k setting and some really excellent concept sketches of everything from marines to tyranids!
All the best!
