Hello again
Here are some more vehicles.
Matchbox 1/64th diecasts
Matchbox 1/76th kits
Chinese make scale unknown diecasts.
As you can see all are great for 15mm moderns/scifi with little if any modification .Obviously you can convert them using plastuc sprue, card and pvc sheet.
As one can see the new GZG gunners really shine. I really like them and have a lot of plans for them.
Apocalypse now?!!
Just imagine a 50 ton truck hurtling at speed with
3 or more hmg's blasting. Zombie crushing time.
Thanks for your comments.

Those conversions look incredible. Fantastic paint job too.
-
Some great looking vehicles, they would work great in both Sci-Fi and Post Apocalyptic worlds as well.
-
Thanks both for liking them,
The new one is finished. vidcaster or command vehicle.... the transmitters/radar hex pattern was made by using the bottom of a brand new slipper :D :D :D to make a press mould. I know , I know , I'm loco.. ;)
All I need is a film crew now. Khurasan & Ion Age both have a nice set.
Thanks for your comments.

Nice work.
-
That's a great vehicle, I hope it wasn't your wife's slipper you used, if it was I wont tell! lol
-
From certain angles it has a very Winnebago look to it. Screw the film crew, you need a 15mm Randy Quaid in a bathrobe and bomber hat drinking a beer! lol
“Don't you go falling in love with it, now, because we're taking it with us when we leave here next month.”
-
Thanks all,
Glad you like them.
WM, Actually I bought a slipper ( we call them slippers,aka sports shoes ) for my son and I happened ( ahem ;) ) to look at the sole and obviously the best time to make a press mould is when they're new :D :D :D.
Cook , you could make a family of alien critters , like my 3 eyed Mcgraw.

Hello again all ,
Finally painted this model ( well almost finished )

That is a nice vehicle! I need to make a survey vehicle for my crews to use.
-
Cheers WM,
Been wanting to finish it for months.... then it hit me
why not a scifi Starsky & Hutch?.... ;)
You should .... if you need help, ideas etc., just ask.
Z
-
Z
You should dry brush that red vehicle with a tiny amount of orange. All that detail needs to be shown off, Bro.
Dan
-
Hello Dan,
Now that would be a great idea..... will do it with 2 shades of orange. ;)
Z
-
You were right Dan,
Here it is drybrushed with 2 shades of orange. It sure made a difference. :D

Dry brushing that vehicle really made the details really stand out nice job!
-
Well done!
The biggest mistake some people make when trying to drybrush highlights on a red model is to use pinks, or gradually add white, which only makes it chalky. Orange is better, but check out the other suggestions here for a red model:

Dan

Wow!
Dan, that was a great video with some excellent ideas. I have always thought of a game, were planet surveyors or colonist trigger a very old robotic defense system!
-
Thanks Dan,
Some great ideas there.
Must go build me some ( ahem... more ) droids ;)
Z
-
You are very welcome!
Dan
PS. Perhaps I should add legs to some of these:
http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=337107
-
That's a blast from the past Dan.
Off course you should , you can easily make them biped, triped or quadruped or even more .. the feet could be readily stuck pieces of card on the base ( no need to fuss sticking them to the
wire , just drill a hole in them & glue wire )
1mm drill bit + paper clip wire bent to desire shape ( you can also make a jig out of nail & wood so as to have a consistent bend )
Bend them into long Zee like shapes ( chicken legs ) or whatever tickles your fancy.
Z
-
Thanks Z, I’ll give it a shot.
Dan
-
What an excellent video!
-
Welcome Dan,
You definitely should.
You can also use thin hair pins ( the black ones) to add
to the paperclip thickness / shape. You can affix them with wound thin
Copper wire ( e.g. from an opened 4mm cooker type wire ).
Then a small drop of CA. Different sizes of lead free solder wire can also be used.
Indeed it is doodler, just keep in mind that doing them in 18mm is way smaller but do able ( look up my scratchbuilt ork meks on my blog).

Dan,
I remember that posting on the other site, I still have those beads you sent me. Now I just have to find them lol
Zrunelord,
Those are all great ideas.

Worth trying out WM.
Here are another 2 good ones.

Fantastic! Thanks Z.
Dan

I do like robots, android and two-legged combat walker whether manned or AI. I have aways liked the idea of a companion Combat Robot/Android teamed up with a human soldier. As in the Hunter II and Exterminator series in Eerie magazine.

Thanks for the info WM had to look Eerie up as I had never seen it before .... I'm more of the Epic magazine fan. Looks quite good. Do you know which issue that is?
Yes definitely Dan. You should look up the superb Titanfall pc game. I tried it but it's too fast for me to play :( ... must be getting old ;) & rusty.
I have done several posts along those lines. Just search for Mechs/mecha on my blog.
eg

Love the bases on the last set of mechs. That is a different look from just rubble and dirt. I think it works well.
Love the white mech with the Stahlhelm. I'd name him Colonel Clink! lol

Thanks for the info WM had to look Eerie up as I had never seen it before .... I'm more of the Epic magazine fan. Looks quite good. Do you know which issue that is?
This is issue #73. There are earlier issues of Hunter II and Exterminator. They both had their own separate stories before linking up with each other then there was a few more issues of them working together.
Eerie published a complete story issue of Hunter https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Eerie-Presents-Hunter/TPB-Part-1?id=143935 (https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Eerie-Presents-Hunter/TPB-Part-1?id=143935)

Thanks Cook.
I agree. Painting roads/stripes etc is very rewarding.
Kolonel Klink is great ... :D... Klaus Von Bastid is another
favourite name of mine...
Thanks WM for the info & link.
Z
-
You sure you wouldn't call him Colonel Klank instead? lol lol
-
The Meches you have going on there are great! I agree with Cook painting stripes on the base those look really great.
Thanks WM for the info & link.
I used to read that magazine all the time when it was out along with a few others, Creepy, Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow.
-
Or Kolonel Klunk :D
Thank you WM,
I will be posting more mech pics soon.... and thanks for the link...
. I was more into Epic, Warlord, Action , 2000AD & Battle .... and before that Buster, Beezer & Topper, Dandy , Beano & loads of other British weeklies or monthly. American publications were much scarcer where I grew up.

The artist is Ken Kelly, whose aunt's maiden name is Eleanor Kelly who married Frank Frazetta. Ken Kelly just passed away back on the 3rd of this month.

I used to be a great fan back in the day of Creepy, Eerie, Vamparella, Conan, Creep Show, Tales from the Crypt and Heavy Metal. I used to have a very large collection of each title a large collection.
When I join the military, I packed a lot of it all of that away in boxes to save, I had a lot more collectables as well too many to list. However, My mother never said anything about it or asked me if I still wanted all of my boxes or what, before her and my stepfather went rifling through them all and sold most everything for under a dollar for each item and tossed the rest. I manage to save one board game, Tactic II that my dad had given me, my Stepfather had it marked for a dollar. My mom saved it for she know my dad had given it to me. I had fleets of Monday Knights ships stepfather gave them to a friend of his who melted them down for his muzzle loader! Yeah it all still a sore spot over 40 years later.
Enough of that let the games play!!
