Here in this new year of the Dragon and 2012 I was in the shower thinking about projects. I have been cleaning and looking at the past decades swag and purchases and MAN that is a lot of lead. So I propose that for every Vehicle there needs to be the guys who ride it and drive it. So from here on out Every vehicle I build/buy I have to do the crew and riders. So I give y'all The Year of the Dragon Pimp my Crew and Ride Pledge. |

Very cool idea! I'm going to try something similar this year
maybe not every single vehicle, but my favorite armies are going to receive some bail-out crew members. Planned projects: Army: Rebel Titan Marines with Old Crow Grav tanks -Vehicle crew: Rebel Titan Scouts Army: Micropanzer SAS infantry with GZG light tracks -Vehicle crew: GZG Hammer's Slammers Army: Rebel Earthforce Homeguard & Rebel tracks: -Vehicle crew: RAFM Planetary Militia Hopefully some of these paint jobs will be generic enough that I could use them in other forces. -Chris K. |

I am just going to continue to work on the mountain of miniatures that need painting. |

My pledge is to finish my 'Public Security Section 9' force for Infinity, with all the conversions and names. Then I will think about bigger projects, like my 15mm forces. |

Holy cow, if I need crew for all of my vehicles I would be in very bad shape! I'll keep painting what I have since there is more than enough to work on. Jeff |

Does anybody make sci fi vehicle crews in 15mm? |

The GZG NAC Command pack is all appropriate. |

I think my pledge would be, for each army that I own enough figs to field a reasonably-sized force for, I will get a reasonably-sized force at least table-ready. 15mm is cheap, which is why it's *real* easy to buy a whole lot very quickly. |

Ok, I should have pointed out that I tend to build a vehicle at a time, not units. If I where doing units I would probably do a number of bailed out figures al'a Flames-of-War
. (for which I was figuring out how to make drop-in troop loads for open toped transports (did consider two each of each vehicle one with one without troops two)). |

This is a cool idea. I think I'll do this for my new Rebel Minis mecha army. Time to order some Earth Force Infiltrators for my Vipers
