Painting more 15mm stuff… I got some 15mm figures / vehicles painted up over the last few days and have put up some pictures on my site. These will be used in my sci-fi games, go over and have a look and see what you think… link

Nice. Merkava I think is always a solid choice for a sci-fi tank. I built my 15mm collection before the modern plastics were around so I ended up with converted early Cold War 1:76th JB and Airfix kits, which I like as they are slightly less recognisable. Though I did pick two lots of TY spare turrets for a quid apiece on ebay this weekend (and then got shafted for postage). |

@ROUWetPatchBehindTheSofa eBay postage can be a real pain in the backside!! 😖 The Merkava tanks are really weird looking so fit well what I have in mind for sci-fi tanks, I still have more plastics to make up and will be trying out some sci-fi add-ons for weapons etc. I have a few old Airfix bits and pieces laying around so I may be adding some of them as well, even if only as bits and pieces for conversions.

Rebelminis make some scifi tanks and battle suits. Also Heavy Gear Blitz would give you a good set set of AFV |

GZG and Brigade do good sci-fi vehicles bits ranges. |

@ROUWetPatchBehindTheSofa I have loads of GZG and Brigade infantry and walkers etc. and I do have a small selection of their vehicles. The plastic stuff just allows me to have lots for a lot less money. |

I use plastics for the same reason but I like to be able to sci-fi them up a little and being basically slightly lazy and not that good at scratch building I go for off the shelf bits. |

@ROUWetPatchBehindTheSofa yeah I understand that, I can scratch-build a little but with the models being only 15mm its not as easy as say for a 28mm model, so what I can't scratch-build I use odd sci-fi bits from my bits box. I will be doing some of this with the next lot of vehicles and tanks that I build. Mac |
