Sorry - fuzzy phrasing there. I meant to say that the photos aren't the
best, if all you're interested in is the Irregular hovertanks.

The Irregular minis are decent, and they paint up nicely, but they've
far
less detail than the GZG 6mm stuff. At tabletop distances, it's less
noticable, of course. (Main problem with my Irreg stuff is that they
need
stripping and repainting...) I haven't got any of the Dark Star/Adler
vehicles, but I've got a couple of terrain pieces from the same line and
the detail seems very nice.

If you don't have too many minis to deal with at any one time, you're
doing something wrong! It's hard to have too much lead and pewter around
the place... I'll keep you posted on the Irregular closeups.
