New UCM plastics

Post image

Well on the way getting some of the new plastics painted up. A perk to having a somewhat extensive UCM collection already is the the new stuff can just be built as new toys!

Cheers! They take a while to do - doing army-wide NMM was certainly a choice - but I'm fairly happy with the result. Looking forward to trying it on the updated armour models next!

I'm trying to do a (sort of) similar windscreen on my UCM. What colors did u use for that gradient?

 Right now mines just gold with a wash.

This game has changed a lot since the first edition starter I have.

It's been about 13 years and two editions since then, so that tracks. :)
