Now, check out how they compare with 15mm figures: link link link So, now that you see the pics, what do you think of the conversion idea? An impossible task? Too hard? And if not for SF, then what about Pulp or even VSF? Dan

I'd say drones with underslung hard points for weapons or sensors. Our maybe as hover mounts for infantry? |

Hover mounts? With a seat/saddle? Or is the driver lying on his stomach? Dan |

Lower it way closer to the ground, put a "T" handle on it, and make it an infantry combat sled! |

Or Green Goblin like. It's a good size for aGZG door gunner, I think from the NAC range |

Looks like it would work. There are also lots of frigate and destroyer classes from starship ranges that make great jet bikes. I added wire and plasticard details to this, but the underlying structure is a frigate from Ravenstar's Tinmen line; it would have worked well on it's own with just some wire handlbars:

McWong73: "The villain from Spiderman, rides a hover sled" Lol. Oops. Jeff Worley, that looks amazing! What figure did you use as the rider? Dan |

The rider is from the Scene with a Micropanzer head swap. |

I use these as 15mm Attack Drones: Hawk Dropzone Commander 10mm Mini – works quite well as a drone in 15mm link GZG Drone link They are quite big, so also work as smaller platoon drones in 28mm. GZG do these mini hover drones which could do the same in 15mm link |
