Inspiritational! I love your builds.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Thanks Vodkafan  :D :D
I forgot to say that the pipes are part of a plan to do a modular 15mm Necromunda 2ft sq board made up of 6" sq peices.
These will have double sided 1 to 2" thickness, plain on one side and canals on the other.
The notches on top where done to take walkways(hence the ladders) so that they won't fall off.

Hey Z,

lots of cool new stuff I see :D

Definitely go with the weels on that hauler, way more modeling potential than tracks.

Love the IFV, would also make a great exploration vehicle for a small team of scientist(maybe with a small lab trailer)

The detailing on the corridors is awesome, so looking forward to seeing you tackle  Necromunda in 15mm.
I've been holding off on building more for Nanomunda till I get my Age of Tyrant minis( hopefully by christmass, we'll see).
Been working on some 15mm Conan atm. but who knows, one of your creations may well set me off on another Nanomunda building spree. ;)

Cheers,
Stroezie.

Thank you Stroezie
I plan to have magnetised base like what i did on some of my other vehicles so I can change from 1 to the other. might even do massive grav engines.

Glad you like the Ifv,

Well well, who's been a busy bee?  :D ;)

Nice work as usual.
I really like that diesel engine, this from a guy who drives trains for a living and has usually had more then enough of them by the time he gets home, so that's saying something!

Happy holidays,
Stroezie.

Thanks all for the kind words.

Stroezie,
I have an old train set which can be used for a frontier town.
Am thinking also of incorporating the tracks on that Necromunda board
planning to do.
Lima trains have great potential , so if you find broken ones on ebay, they can
easily converted.

Am thinking also of doing a grav , hover or jet bases.

One thing i found which is good for plates etc is the thin metal plate used
sardine cans , can easily be cut & shaped ( the walking boards) & 5mm square
Chicken wire fencing ( the rails). The bases are built from 3 ply wood, card & loads
Of plastic sprues.

Z.
