Title: 15mm Scifi Gruundar Scrathbuilt Vehicle.
Post by: zrunelord on March 08, 2020, 11:10:56 AM: Hello again all,
Here is the wip of a Gruundar vehicle ( IronGolem ??? not sure on the name yet )

It is based on a free Ebbles paper model.
Card, plastic sprue, & milk container plastic caps for wheels.

They say the devil is in the detail , so I added lots of pieces of small card , plastic sprue , wire etc.

Thanks for your comments.

Do so WM , not difficult to do & very satisfying.

That's a good one Divismal :D :D.... actually I use much more recycled card than plasticard .....
I'm a firm believer that we truly, truly.... truly need to recycle whatever, however, whenever we can ....
and I try my best to influence others..... ;D

Will do more stuff & paint .... soon

Stay safe

Post by: racm32 on March 21, 2020, 05:13:11 PM: I cant wait to see how you paint it. I build a similar looking vehicle but for 28mm and have yet to paint as, quite frankly, it intimidates me lol.
Title: Re: 15mm Scifi Gruundar Scrathbuilt Vehicle.
Post by: zrunelord on March 22, 2020, 12:03:31 PM: One of the reason I do mostly 15mm.... I have scratchbuilt 28mm vechiles also... ( will post pics ) 28mm can be daunting unless you have an airbrush.

You can do it , you just need to start..... just give it an undercoat & take it from there.

Glorious new build. How does she scale next to a mini? Looks a good bit bigger than most of your tanks, but smaller than the drop ships.

I am going to present it bit by bit so that it is easy to follow, if one is inclined to do a similar buid.
Very straight forward build.

Title: Re: 15mm Scifi Gruundar Scrathbuilt Vehicle.
Post by: zrunelord on April 02, 2020, 07:47:49 AM: Mostly yes. A 0.5 or 0.3 one.

I personally like the rough edge , like those found on welded WW2 tanks.

I sometimes use a blade others a steel point.

Btw.
Wheels are made of 2 milk carton caps + wine bottle cork spacer + 1" nail + 2 part epoxy glue.
They've just changed the caps on our milk cartons locally & I liked the shape immediately.

more pics at link so that you can see the build bit by bit . still a wip.

Post by: CookAndrewB on April 06, 2020, 02:51:27 PM: Two for the price of one!!

Those both look great. The top picture strikes me like a land version of a houseboat. Like the railings would just have some little planters and lawn furniture on the decks.

The bottom picture looks more like a mobile command vehicle of some sort. An administrative office on wheels.

Post by: zrunelord on April 07, 2020, 07:11:42 AM: Thanks Cook.
I'll be using the 2nd one, as a matter of fact.
Houseboat? Now that's a good idea , might just build a riverboat.
Don't have water borne vehicles as yet. ;)

Title: Re: 15mm Scifi Gruundar Scrathbuilt Vehicle.
Post by: CookAndrewB on April 07, 2020, 03:49:29 PM: Me either, though I do have a couple river/creek tiles created. In hindsight I probably should have built the rivers similarly to my roads so that they sit flush on the tile and not as a carved area of the cork. Still, I could get some canoe type boats in there.

Reminds me I need to build some bridges too.

Awesome stuff, Z!

Post by: zrunelord on April 08, 2020, 12:42:46 PM: I'll show you a couple of bridges I built, Cook .

Thanks Ockman , glad you like them... as you can see card is very versatile. Though I use hobby knives a lot , my fav tool for card is a large pair of scissors , as it allows cutting of card with little effort.

In the meantime you can look these up, they are mainly for a hive style game but can easily be modified , well just for about anything even a boat bridge ( a bridge which can be moved where it is needed not just land bound )

Man, that is a LOT of bridges. Did you cut all those slots out by hand? Do you have some super punch that will do that to foam board?! :o
Title: Re: 15mm Scifi Gruundar Scrathbuilt Vehicle.
Post by: zrunelord on April 09, 2020, 07:08:02 PM: Hey Cook ,
They're walkways which can be used a bridges ( as I said they were designed for a hive war type game )
They're made of card ,mostly 2 - 3mm thick. As far as I know I didn't use any foam board on them.

I used to work at an office that had a spiral binding machine , it was a vintage beast which could punch up to that thickness . If you can't get your hands on a one that can punch that thickness then simply punch thinner ones & glue them together.

And there are these converted ones, Faller Train bridge, Airfix Bridge & loads of bits & pieces, especially on the big one.

Title: Re: 15mm Scifi Gruundar Scrathbuilt Vehicle.
Post by: CookAndrewB on April 10, 2020, 03:30:33 PM: Since I need a sci-fi bridge, I will probably skip anything modern Earth looking. But your scratch built bridges look nice.

I think we have a binding machine here at work. I'll have to check that out and see what I can do with it. Even stealing some of the punches out of it might make for interesting greeblies!

2-3mm card is thick. I'd love to get my hands on something like that. I think most of my card is in the range of 1-1.5mm if memory serves. I just step up to PVC foam or foam core if I need something thicker, but that tends to drive up cost quite a bit.
Title: Re: 15mm Scifi Gruundar Scrathbuilt Vehicle.
Post by: zrunelord on April 11, 2020, 04:28:18 PM: Thanks Cook, as I said you can glue thinner card together to get thicker ones.
You would have to align the square holes properly. Then put it under a heavy weight so
that it dries flat with no warping.

On another note here is the undercoated vehicle in black and then a grey zenithal applied. Both spray can.

Post by: zrunelord on April 12, 2020, 04:12:01 PM: and finished.... and since I was asked how I will paint it here is the sequence.

Spray cans black undercoat, grey undercoat zenithal...

A wash of green brown ink
All edges / rivets lined with black blue ink
Dry brush with buff / ivory
Decals added ( GW Tau )
Rust added with nut brown & orange brown
Mud spatters & tyres made with watered down buff
Chipping added with sponge - black , white and brush light grey

Thanks for your comments.

This. Even if it was just the chassis. They would make for great conversion fodder!

I think it would be heavy & costly if done in resin... unless cast with a empty interior.

Now that's a thought ,the chassis is more doable, just the bare chassis & the wheels supplied by the user.

But then again it can be simply & cheaply be done with sprue.

Off course it would be so much easier with using 3d printers but I will have to learn how to 3d sculpt
and finally get a 3d printer.

Might just be able to do just that by year's end...
Live long & prosper my firends.
