Hi guys

Finished these 2 15mm Power armour miniatures for a customer, just need to base them now, they are sold under the label "PanzerAnzug "WWII" German Power Armour for 15mm" on Shapeways http://www.shapeways.com/product/P4KJEEYVG/panzeranzug-quot-wwii-quot-german-power-armour-for-15mm , the one on the right is Frosted ultra detail and is now the only option available, it doesn't have that grainy look like the one on the right, and is quite detailed, the bottom pic has a comparison with a 15mm.co.uk figure and a Khurasan power armour, these certainly fit the bill if you are after power armour with a certain look.

You've made it look like Zimmerit so not a waste of time.

Yes, I immediately thought a "version of high tech Zimmerit" coating from the picture.

Folks on TMP also thought 'zimmerit'. The designer apparently took the lesser option off the store until there was such a swell of admiration.

'If you really want it I have left it on the store. Just want people to know what they are getting!'

Hi guys

A while ago I made this small 15mm Colonial marine sci fi force which I later sold off, the new owner has commissioned me to expand the army, I will be doing so in parts, this next part will be the heavy weapons and trikes, I don't usually post WIP shots of commission, but I have an affinity with 15mm sci fi and this force in particular as the original was a labour of love.
I had an extra stand when I cut these so thought I would add an objective marker, I had this cool little birthday candle holder that I had seen something in, and had thrown it in my parts box, I think it will paint up nice as a drop beacon.
The trike riders are just sitting lose, thinking of doing a couple of conversions on those, head and upper body swaps, and the sixby has a gunner that needs to be attached to the rear.
More pics of the original force and its parts at this thread

Those shapeways models are loosely based on the SF3D/ Maschinen Krieger model line.

A Japanese modeler int he 80's started doing kits from an alt-universe version of WW2 that took place in the far future during an age of interplanetary travel and he took pains to do dioramas that resembled Tamiya and Revell WW2 model dioramas and art. He eventually got a section of Hobby Japan and a model line of his atomic diesel punk suits and machines. It's really cool but oddball stuff. Sort of Gerry Anderson meets late European front realism meets crazy engineering ideas. I've never seen it in 15 mm before though there were some Gashapon collector's figures that were maybe 1/35 or so which some people (the Colonel Marble people think) used as mecha for 15mm troopers.

I have some of the S.A.F.S. 1/35 figures and they work very well for 28/32mm but don't fit all that well with 15mm. The shapeways prints are probably the way to go for 15mm (and probably cheaper too).

Hi guys

Finished the heavy weapons, trikes and 6 wheeler on commission for the 15mm colonial marines, figures are GZG NAC, did an upper torso swap with 2 of the trike riders, the one pointing and the one with the weapon in his hand, all comments welcome.
