The Badlands Assemble doesn't quite have the same ring to it as The Avengers Assemble, but I've had these sitting in a box ever since the original Heavy Gear KickStarter arrived, which was two years ago.
Doesn't time fly.
I've been feeling a bit out of sorts, because the side-effects of my medication is a bit rough, which is why I missed last weeks post.
I felt I needed to do something to cheer me up that wouldn't get bogged down if fiddly details. So I got these models out of the box and cleaned them to get the grease off. I find windscreen wash, which has isopropyl alcohol and a wetting agent, is good for this.
Anyway, this was about the
limit of what I could manage.
