Captain Samuel "Shorty" Sneede, reporting for duty.

Eclectic was the paint scheme of the day, and went with something that showcased each unit mech that made up his frankenmech.

Hope you all enjoy!

I am curious how did you make it?  I can see some of the different mechs used and also the original description from the source book but how'd you make it work?

I had sourced some extra minis from an online retailer, and used a razor saw to separate the torsos and arms from the appropriate mechs.  The head of the Pixie was a little harder to remove, but careful angle sawing let me remove it with the least amount of damage.

After that it was just a matter of gluing the parts into the proper spots with super glue.

I imagine pinning might be needed for the metal versions when those are released.

I did cheat on the Warhammer arm however, as I had a spare Banshee one and just crafted a shoulder using  some spare panels.

Got it.  Might just have to give this a try.  Snords irregulars has always been my favorite unit but I never felt I could make Shorties Mech,  Thank you for the inspiration to give it a try,  if I can find the space parts.
