Catalyst Guillotine Cockpit?
« on: 12 August 2024, 09:31:00 »
Anyone have any guidance on determine the cockpit glass on the Guillotine mini in the Snird’s lance pack? The sculpt is very different from the classic metal Guillotine in the cockpit area, and it doesn’t seem obvious to me what is the cockpit glass.

Thank you!
I was not aware of that resource. I did check CSO for any examples, but all I saw were the metal minis.

I found this cockpit tricky as well, it is strangely large and smiley face adjacent.  Hope yours turns out better than mine did!

The way it's set up, I don't see the full top of the cockpit.  It always comes across as folded over hard top so it looks like the 'Mech has eyes.  Kind of pain for me to paint that way.



The Snord's one is on the left.

Been a Guillotine fan for a long time, LOVE the Guillotine IIC (WHY ammo in the CT on a SFE!!) and wish we had gotten a update w/o all the new toys though the 4/6/6 is nice.  Not a fan of the older IWM mine since I think the proportions are off from the art- looking forward to the GLT IIC being released going forward.  I have . . . one new one painted, used it in a King of the Hill fight.
