From DallasE: Rovers for Lunar (15 points)

Happy winter everyone. The weather here in Winnipeg certainly reflects that, I think I shoveled snow 3 or 4 times in the past week. But more important than that it's time to get the brushes moving for the Challenge. I'm starting off with a pretty simple lot - three resin rovers for Lunar. 

Lunar, of course, is a very cool game of an alternate future/past where the Soviets got to the Moon first and NASA rolled up its sleeves and said "hold my beer." It has a real "For All Mankind" vibe where things have escalated to the level of open lunar combat between and among a variety of belligerents. 

Of course, on the Moon you need support gear, and above we have an oxygen rover carrying bottles of the life-sustaining gas.

Next is a drill rover carrying a mining drill. I'm not sure why it seems to be nestled in a basket of hay but I'm not the sculptor and that's how the example was painted. What do I know. Anyway there was space on the bottom of the solar panel for a decal so I put one there.

Lastly there's a shield rover, the in-game effect is that it provides mobile cover for astronauts (cosmonauts?). I sponged it up a bit and added some Soviet branding for fun.

I know there's at least one other Challenger who's going to be painting some Lunar models and I can hardly wait to see them up here.

28-ish mm models x3 = 15 points

Thanks Mr. Curt!

Merry Christmas, Mr. Dallas, and welcome back to the Challenge!

'Lunar' is a very characterful and evocative game and these models certainly fit the theme. Like you, Dallas, I'm a bit puzzled at the straw packing for the lunar drill, perhaps they're trying to get that 60's shipping vibe. I particularly like the rover with the oxygen bottles. Like nothing could possibly go wrong riding around with those in the back with solid rounds flying about. But I guess that's what the shield rover is all about. Very cool.

Well done Dallas! As they're fairly small vehicles, I'll go with your points estimate, so 15 it is. Looking forward to seeing more from Lunar in the coming months!
