Here is a finished plastic pod next to a cardboard one for comparison: They’ve almost identical!Īs you can see these will fit nicely together once they’re painted. Lower numbers yes, it would likely open the door for 40K re-test, and below there I believe the bull market would end (closing below the 50 Week MA) and price would then consolidate between 30K-40K, or at least re-test the next level of volume support around 36K (which is between 30K-40K for reference sake). There is extra work required for the hinges and petals but I will not need to pre-paint the edges of anything before spray painting, and plastic adhesive cures more quickly than the PVA glue I used for the card stock ones so there’s less time holding pieces together and waiting for them to stick. As far as difficulty I found that these have been comparable to the previous ones. This allowed me to modify the design and create pods that open. Besides, a drop pod also says it carries 12 models. You dont HAVE to have them opened on the model to treat them as opened unless youre completely anal and have zero imagination.

Because of it’s branding, this primer is usually found in most hobby or local game stores. If the doors are glued shut (as are mine), you treat them as opened. It is formulated for Games Workshop kits, but can be used on almost any surface material that miniatures and models are made of.

I started with the GW dreadnought drop pod template which I downloaded from one of the old GW websites. It produced a pod similar in size and appearance to the Forgeworld Dreadnought Drop Pod which was too large for my taste so I’ve re-scaled it to more closely match the GW drop pod kit in foot print and height.įor my next pair of pods I decided to use styrene. The Citadel Model Primer is a primer that is useful for plastic and metal miniatures. They were made from foam core and cereal boxes with orange juice covers as the retro thrusters. These are my current pods, still in need of a little more paint, with a few marines for scale. Now that the Drop Pod model has been in the hands of customers for a few weeks there are lots of these kits around in various stages of construction and painting.
