About the Project

OnTableTop.com has very kindly sent me a copy of the new 2 Player Starter set for Wild West Exodus which is very cool of them, so lots of content coming up as I unbox, build, paint and play this over on Twitch and YouTube. I will be using my contrast method to get both forces painted up over the coming weeks and I am very much looking forward to it.

Very easy build, nice and chunky… as with the whole set there are mould lines to clean but beginner-friendly and look great.

oh boy, this one… this one nearly got me cross… ten parts for what is a very simple model and getting the skirt and legs together as one is very tricky. We got there though.

Ok so from easy to quite a tough one, this guy is held up by the electrical discharge and thus quite small connection points and quite difficult to get based. Move quickly if you can so you can make small adjustments with the glue still wet.

No real issue here, went together well but recommend moving quickly so you can get legs aligned so it can stand up.

And so it begins...

So starting the build over the next few days and once built Gustave Eiffel looks great.

So instructions are clear and simple but a small thing is that there is no guide or instruction for the base size to us, I had to search up a picture of the box set to work that out. Obviously, not a big problem but a simple reference in the booklet would have been nice.

You will need a hobby knife because there are some quite obvious mould lines, I don’t normally pay too much attention to these but I noticed them and decided to clean what I could.

Other than if you have built models before you will have no problems, if you are brand new to the hobby you might find these spider bots a little fiddly.

I will get the rest built over the coming days.
