(Painting) Transitrian Scientific Republic K-5 Close Support Aircraft

With #RPGaDay posts done and the crazy Summer schedule finished, it's time to visit the sometimes-wet, hopefully dry, always visited by cats painting bench in my Kriget Rum.

After much consternation, and a lack of small but sturdy flight bases, here's the K-5 Close Support Aircraft for my slowly growing Transnitrian Scientific Republic army (TSR).

 This is a Harpy Attack Helicopter from Reviresco/tin-solider.com in 1/300th.  It was in "The Box" that I picked up in the flea market at Fall-In! for a couple of measly bucks.

 No flight bases included, and my search for small, compact, and sturdy have come up empty handed, so *boom* onto a MDF base for you!

The helicopter is also a lot bigger than the air support I've used in Battletech.  It's length rivals an OGRE!  

When the basement doesn't decide to take water around the painting bench, our eldest cat has decided to commandeer it.  She's taken a spot within my painting racks, and let's say she hasn't been the most nimble getting up and off the bench. 

I came downstairs to paint bottles and figures, once well organized, strewn across the basement floor, 

Insert a full sized cat into the space to the left, and you get the idea.

Time to reorganize, cat-proof, and take some time and relax before work gets crazy in less than a month. 

NEXT:  Lots of figures to refurbish for the Samoa game at Fall-In! *spoiling tomorrow's post", my Fita-Fita to keep the theme, and whatever the cat hasn't knocked off the table overnight.
