probally the em4 links right? Well its 0018 from the troopers set and the 3 guys from the paramilitary set... I just can't get the hang of their cgi scripting... links that should work just don't and I can't figure out why... |

The links worked okay for me. Some great minis to think about too. I have been wondering about extra minis for a corporation I am thinking of making. I already have the EM4 paramilitary security guys to use as troops. The ERM & Golgo island minis would fit the theme well. More sweet work there Mal. |

Right I got my eM4 and ERM minis in todays post, i've also got them cleaned and based... A word of warning for anyone planning on ordering any ERM miniatures... their lead mix is brittle, if anything bends, expect it to simply snap off. Its fairly easy to repair as the breaks are crystaline (common with brittle metal alloys) and fit back together well with fractured surfaces... but its a pain nonetheless. Anyhew, i'll get back to work painting these guys and the other 2 dozen or so minis i've got in my painting cue just as soon as im done with the Imperial Fists. |

I may gone on ebay and purchased two of those bikes for the grand total of £6:10 including postage, no riders which is perfect

You might want to avoid the Sergeant bike and just go with the standard. They look identical but the sergeant bike has flat spots on the bottom edges of the tires so the bike sits at an angle, propped up by the rider's extended leg. |

kfc, don't wotty about tangents,... i get lost on them all the time :p that bike pic you linked is the standard bike (the same one I have 2 of, but I had 2 riders... which im going to paint but not glue as they fit quite snugly anyway so I can do mounted and dismounted bikes without additional models) Anyhew, im struggling to resist the temptation to paint my shiny new 10 boilershit badguys (aka vault techs), my vault director and 3 security guards + head of security.... must resist temptation... at least until I finish my imperial fists.... its hard though... I made the mistake of getting them based up so they are sat on my desk infront of me all the time... a constant reminder... damn subconcious temptations... |

Well if I really pushed myself I could have them ALL painted in about 2 days... but in 2 days I could have the Vanguard finished... and seeing as there is an actual deadline for the Imperial Fists I really should concentrate on them first... even if the deadline is 2 months away... If I leave them then i'll just keep putting them off and then i'll end up close to the deadline and have a tonne of painting to do... which means a rushed job which will look crap next to the rest of the army... So... i'll just have to grit my teeth and get the bloody vanguard done first... even though I really dont want to paint those... I want to paint my vaulty fellas. |

I can feel your pain, Mal. I had a platoon's worth of Copplestone's Troopers to get painted, but I kept getting distracted by the shiny new toys. I finally made myself paint 5 or 6 troopers for every shiny new one I painted. Now I'm down to one last squad, the officers and a mortar to paint and my troopers will be done. Now I just need to order some Old Crow vehicles to support them. |

Hmmm, i didn't know that Vault Tec allowed the TRON simulation bikes as part of the social experimentation lol! Very very very nice work on everything, my favorite so far probably being the basic troopers from the begining. Think I might be switching to the HAZMAT science troopers though, they're pretty sweet lookin too. |

Well I wanted a couple of bikes to operate as recon scouts for the vault (remember while im nicking the name and outfit, im not doing the whole social experimentations thing), while I have half a dozen spare choppers and im pretty sure i've got a dirt bike or 2 laying around here somewhere I wanted something a little moe high-techy since thats going to be one of the main factors with my vault dwellers. The GSX 900's look techy enough while still being blocky and robust like the other tech I've got for the vaulties. |

I have to agree with you on that one, Mal. The Hatamoto Viper Wing looks better suited for a wastelands group rather than a vault group. Although that does give me an idea for a wastelands group using the UM Triad models and the Warzone Mishima models... |
