It was done over a long period of time, and I haven't added much to it over the past year or so. I went at it somewhat agressively for a little while, it was more work than money, really. A lot of trading and searching to get them for what i wanted to spend.

Holy shit! Well I guess it's time for me to quit!

yeah i could imagine all the trading for the figs and all that being kind of a pain. but if you were buying for years the prices were rather reasonable up until the 25th anniv. still thats a sweet setup. im more partial to the newer look...VvV and 25th but i can say that your collection is no joke.

[quote=KrymsynGardImmoral]Here is a shot of mine, I do something similar to yours, using glass shelves with clear stands.

That shelf is all vintage, but I still need about a dozen of the Viper pit 6 pack to fill out a different display project I am in the middle of.

No joke is right. This is an amazing amount of figs, period. Have you done any dio's with these?

I have a larger scale dio i am setting up in my attic, but I generally use modern army builders, like the Viper Pits figure, 6 pack infantry forces, customs, etc., and leave my vintage guys on the shelf. I do need more pilots and drivers, though, to fill out many of my vintage vehicles without pulling them off the shelf.

Thanks, but I am not sure who you mean by Starviper?

Here are the guys you mention...




Those are my Emperors Royal Vipers. I made them as a guard for serpentor. One year, they got "best Coil Custom" in the JCA's (when there was like NO competition in the Coil Category). I have made about 20 in Black, then about 6 or 8 in Gold. here are some pics of the gold ones.

The idea came from the Legio Custodes, from Warhammer 40K. The pikes have both a spearhead and a small machine gun built in.

This is a link to the black ones on Joecustoms.

I'm almost speechless; I'm in awe. That's the best army I've ever seen. It's almost immoral... What's that count, KGI?
