Add some WMD to your Wargaming Table! - The Toxso Scud-B

Thanks to everyone for the feedback to my last post - it was much appreciated.

Today's post, however, will be much shorter...

Recently I finished the Toxso Scud-B for a friend.  In a fit of getting ready to pop over and deliver it, I forgot to take any pics!  I did however take a couple of quick pics with my ipad of a 98% finished model a few days earlier.

I asked my friend to take some photos for me of the finished model and these are what he provided:

Looks pretty good on the tabletop imho.

I've written previously about the Toxso Scud-B here so I won't go into too much detail now.  I will say it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever painted, mainly due to the way you glue in the windows and some of the tiny details.  I also had some issues with the ease of raising and lowering the missile once painted - but these are in fact fairly minor in nature and have more to say about me as a crappy painter and modeller, than about what a fine product this is.

Like I said previously - I'd really like to get one of these for myself now - but with the Aussie dollar doing what its doing (going down, down, down) it may be a while yet...

I also need to consider further a scenario for its use.  In reality I think the only purpose for such a beast on the table is as an objective for a raid type mission.  I'll see what I come up with.

Thanks

Review - Toxso Model - Scud B and Launcher

Time for a quick review.  Recently I was asked by a friend to build and paint a Toxso Model Scud B missile and launcher for him.  I'd heard of Toxso and seen some photos of the finished model - so was keen to give it a go.

Opening the box and it all looked a bit daunting but I slowly started to work at it and put it together and surprise, surprise - it was a joy to build.  It's an incredibly well designed kit, very clever and full of details.

Once you've made the chassis and added the wheels, the rest of the launcher or TEL, goes together in neat little sections.

The missile is also nice and simple.  It was so easy to build I would almost classify it as a "fast build" kit.

What's really clever is the launch platform.  I think this is super cool.

Sorry for the dodgy ipad pics.  As you can see it can be modeled in a variety of positions.

I can't get over what a great kit this is - I must now get one for myself!  I've also got to create a little Scud hunting game as well!

That's all for now

Thanks

Richard
