A real bad case of AMS

This picture was posted on IPMS Stockholm today by Henrik Bergman. This weekend is the "Model Gothenborg" competition, and this image was an entry. Don´t know the scale or the builder .. yet!

Hi,
I think I remember this guy. He was one involved in a Big A campaign and never post his pics.
I understand why now :-) :-)

Whatever the scale, this is a terrific job. The builder is a winner and deserves

Isn't that wonderful? Seriously! All the little bits, the imagination, I love it, right down to the little helicopter!

I wanna see more of this! Thanks for posting, it made my day.

Hahaha! That's funny! I think I know how the dude in the pic feels, all those Warhammer fantasy and 40k figures to paint....

FYI
The model was made by Magnus Svanberg, a member of IPMS Gothenborg. He says that it took one year from idea to finished model. The only kit-form was the Airfix skeleton. The rest was scratched. The small figures are from the warhammer epic series. Don´t really know what this means, or what scale any of them are!

Resin dust might have done him in...

Epic Scale figures are 3-10mm tall, give or take. They are designed so you can field HUGE armies in a smaller space.

as much as I can remember I belive the Airfix Skeleton kit was in 1/6 scale, it was discontinued but youd still find some vintage kits selling on ebay

If it was 1:1, there are several companies that makes them...one in particular that comes to mind is by GOD.

What's really scary is there are no clothing remnants near him which means he was working in the nude!

Trying so hard to chase away so many bad visuals! :-)
