I've uploaded some new pics from my 15mm scifi project onto my blog. I've just finished of some Critical Mass Arc Recon, but I've also painted some power armoured infantry that I could do with some help to identify. I've had these for years and can't remember where they came from.
Check out my blog at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/
And here's a pick of the mystery figures I need identified....

Very nice blog, very nice vehicles, I like 15mm myself, got a small army with some critical mass stuff but thats it really.
As for the identification issue, I haven't got a clue! But they look very well done all the same.
-
Thanks Brummie, I've always been into 15mm scifi, ever since ordering laserburn figures from an advert in White Dwarf way back while I was in school. The Critical Mass figures are what tempted me into getting back into this genre again.
I'm starting to think the mystery figures may have been from Metal Magic.
-
Not heard of Metal Magic, are they still around or is it another small company which has a low profile?
And 15mm sci fi has to be one of the most vibrant genres out there, almost anything and everything for it that you could need its quite amazing. I'd say its there is so much stuff its hard to know where to begin!

Hi,
I've added a load of new pics of my 15mm scifi project onto my blog. This lot are of Battle Robots from The Scene painted as Security Robots for a Corporate Force, and the completed Power Armour figures I started the other day. You can see a lot more pics at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/

Very cool!
Like the way you painted the face plates. Nice job!
-
I've added a few pics of my "Federal Army" vehicles to the blog. You can see these at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/
Here's a taster of what's on the site...

very good job! I like very much the green color of the vehicles and the soldier helmets.
These miniatures are for any rules???
Thanks!
-
Thanks Criamon,
The figures are from Critical Mass and based for their rules. The vehicles are converted toys and just for my own collection and not meant for any specific rules or background.
-
Added a couple of new pics to my blog. This time some Ground Zero drones controlled by a Khurasan command team. More pics at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/

Love the holoprojector. Not sure if Khurasan invented the technique. Antenociti uses it since a couple of years for their G.O.T. range.
-
I tried something similar years ago for semi-transparent riot shields for some 20mm figures. The inkjet printing at the time with the material I had was too wet - it never dried and smugged off. I tried it through a laser jet but it melted the plastic and nearly killed the printer. I kept that quiet lol.
-
lol, i tried the same for some Stained glass pieces, and i had an almost-melted piece of plastic... not good at all
but i'm shure that there are some plastic sheets meant for laser printers, so... i'm gonna give a try, soon or later... :)
-
I love your Powered Armour Infantry - they have a great Starcraft vibe to them...
-
New pics added to http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/
This lot are Drop Troops from Critical Mass and a "work-in-progress" dropship I've started using and old broken Star Wars toy. (More pics on the blog)

Once again the Critical Mass minis are shown in their splendor... great job! And the dropship is ASESOME! very great work!!!
-
The Federal Army dudes and equipment is VERY cool!
-
Just realised that the Matchbox toy ARVs that I've been using for my Federal Army actually open up to reveal detailed insides. I wonder what I can do with this?

-
I took mine out of the truck to use in future projects especialy if I am going to paint the windows ,but you can always just paint it and leave in in as the interior.
-
Added a couple of terrain items on the blog. Alien plants using poppy plants.
More pics on my blog, including work in progress, at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/

Poppy... :) perfect for the 15mm... that's amazing how the same stuff are used in the different scales with different purposes!
-
I've posted pics of a unit of micropanzers SAS Elite.

They are all fantastic! The terrain is superb and the miniatures to! I especially like that guy on one knee that you showed as a comparison to terrain? Where are all of these miniatures from?
Thanks,
Steve
-
Good stuff! You're painting makes those 15mm look like 28mm! Excellent!

Thanks Steve, Not sure which figure you're refering to as none of them are kneeling. If it's the one in the post above, he's a "Not-Arnie from Predator" from The Scene's Special Forces set. I have links to the sellers of all the figures I've posted on my blog at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/
-
Very nice stuff! Your thread is making me want to abandon my 28mm sci fi project in favour of 15s.
-
Here's a pic of my 15mm Federal Army so far. I'll be adding to this, but I want to do some scenic items to go with the collection and also to get some aliens into the blog, so taking a little break from the Federals.
As usual more pics here: http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/

Which Star Wars toy was the basis for that dropship?

Which Star Wars toy was the basis for that dropship?
It's an AST-5 mini rig. There's no conversion work on this (so far), just a repaint...

New pics added to my blog. I've built a bit of scenery out of plastic from the bits box and finished off some other terrain and a droid or two.

After a great holiday to Spain with the family it was time to get some more figures painted and posted. A delivery from Rebel Minis had arrived while I was away, so those were first in the queue. I think these Rebels CATs work really well alongside The Scene's (Not)Terminators.
More pics again at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/

That's all rather special. Liking 15mm more and more.

All the cool kids are doing 15mm Sci-fi these days ;)
Nice work on those by the way 8)

Sorry, my mistake. But that was the chap I was talking about.
-
Great minis all around! :)
I'm really liking your terrain as well.
-
why did i left 15mm for 28? :( :( :(
-
Impressive.
I have enough trouble with 28mm o_o
Busy trying out the tips I have recieved on another unsuspecting studio zed...........
This kind of post is potentialy bad for my wallet and diminishing free time.
Look forward to seeing more!

After watching Venus Wars, a manga/anime movie I picked up on DVD recently, I wanted to build a heavy tank inspired by the huge, heavy vehicles seen in the movie. I used a 1/76 scale WW2 German tank as a basis for a 15mm scale heavy missile tank.
As usual, more pics on the blog at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/2011/08/mercenary-mongrel-heavy-tank.html
I want to build more like this so opinions please.

VENUS WARS! I used to love that show, havent seen it in years.
-
nice. Is that the missle pod from a Combat Zone bot?
-
It's a missile pod from an EM4 games mech, from their Iron Warriors plastics set. I'm using two from the set as manned mecha and two others as sentry gun-bots. I might get round to painting them soon.
-
It's been a while due to lots of Goblins needing painted. While in the garage searching for a figure I was sure I had, I came across these old figures. 25mm Kobolds by Nick Lund from the old pre-slotta Citadel/Chronicles range. Perfect for large 15mm low-tech reptilian aliens I thought, and they were...
(http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac270/C_Baillie/Hhurrk01.jpg)
So these are now Hhurrk warriors and ready to get into close combat with the Federal Army.
(http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac270/C_Baillie/Hhurrk05.jpg)
More pictures of these guys are on my blog, at http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.com/ , plus so other new stuff.
-
Truly stunning work! After looking at projects like this. I wish I'd never gone near 28mm and just used 15mm from the beginning.
-
I'd been trying to remember where these guys came from. There's post on TMP identifying them...

Wow, that is an amazing collection of forces colin_baillie. Really nice looking work, especially the Critical Mass stuff and the conversions of toys for vehicles.

It's been a whilw since I updated my 15mm scifi blog, mostly due to being busy on commissions and puting some stuff on ebay, but to get back into the swing of things I decided to paint up this little vehicle...
(http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac270/C_Baillie/15mmdigger001.jpg)
Probably useful for zombie, post apoc or near future, as well as scifi.

Hi there, very nice collection of models right there, you're tempting me in getting some. I'm not sure about your models but I think they might be RAFM, here's a link to there range of 15mm sci fi

Actually, pics of these in bare metal were posted on TMP awhile back. They posted a link to a black and white catalog image of them, along with various other minis from Traveller.
They are old, German 15mm Traveller minis, which supposedly are now out of production.
They look very nice, and I'd love to have some, if the info is in error.
I guess it is possible RAFM might have acquired the molds/masters, and hasn't put them into use yet.
-
Mako, I've had those guys for maybe 20 years, which is hard to believe cause I'm so young!! ::)
-
I refuse to give up on 28mm, but this affirms the rightness of playing 15mm as well.
I've plenty of GZG lads waiting being brought to life, but it's the new VSF stuff that has me REALLY excited!
Doug
-
I have a 28mm VSF project as well, so I'm refusing to look at the 15mm VSF guys while I'm enjoying this scifi project. I'd get distracted too easily and the wallet and storage wouldn't accept another project, not to mention my wife.
