Hello again all,
To continue with my previous post here are more Scratch Built AFV's & IFV's.
2 of my favourite models are GZG 15mm Phalanx & Paladin. Even if they have been designed years ago they are still very scifi looking & never seem to get old.
My main concerns with them are that they are made of heavy metal which can be disastrous if model slips from the hand & they are low as vehicles go ( though they would look very plausible as 10mm or AI controlled ones ).
So I decided to do my versions of them.
As usual the hulls are very straight forward, made out of card of card , see the first pic for the tanks plan. The chassis are made of wood & card with marker cap based wheels.The axles are made from metal pop rivet leftovers . Turrets are made from PVC ( e.g. billboard type material & cotton bud barrels for the twin missile launchers ).
They're not perfect but came out great for gaming
I undercoated 3 in black & light sprayed with grey primer. Enjoy

GZG's Gall Force style vehicles are some of my favorites as well, I've only got the 6mm ones though. I really like what you've done with the design, they've got a nice "cursed earth" thing going. |

Thanks all for liking them, glad you like them. Zeelow, had to look that one up 😉, I learnt a new one today.Don't get me wrong ,I wasn't belittling GZG vehicles I just prefer resin/ card to metal ones. Figures is something else though, I have ton of GZG metal ones, don't like resin ones as they're too fragile. Gokiburi, I have those too & they're so much better scale wise when compared to an infantry figure.

Reminds me of the crawlers from Soldier. Good stuff. |

You're gonna have to get some of these builds of yours cast someday soon |

You might like the new crates & drum coming soon from GZG. |

Thanks all,
Kirk – those would be a challenge to build…. might try to someday.
Fritadas – The problem is that most of my stuff is made out of card etc & most of it is unique. I only cast the bits which I require for repeat ability like the Serpentia vehicle front but I'll consider building something which can be cast if someone is willing to do it.
MMG – can't wait to see them. Love the stuff you are doing for him .You have never have enough 15mm stuff.
Keep it up. Z |
now paints and bases the model.
