Post by: Flyer115 on August 22, 2014, 08:20:11 PM: I have just started a 20mm sci fi project using Elheim figures and Hobby Den vehicles.

I was also going to compliment you on you wargaming table, but then I realised it might be a trampoline!

Post by: Metternich on August 22, 2014, 11:22:12 PM: I quite like those. Very believable, future soldiers.

Post by: Conquistador on August 23, 2014, 12:49:58 AM: Love the infantry. Like the APC - I would love the APC if you told me there were exits/entrances other than just the hatches (Can't see the back of the vehicle.)

Gracias,

Glenn

Post by: aliensurfer on August 27, 2014, 11:56:15 PM: where did you get the wheels from for the swap? quite fancy trying the same thing for my 25mm sci fi.

Post by: Gunbird on August 28, 2014, 12:06:07 AM: Flyer has his own shop (teh Hobby Den) and casts his own modern and WW2 vehicles. Tires, he has loads.

Title: Re: Earth defence force
Post by: zemjw on August 29, 2014, 01:10:01 PM: There's another Matchbox one that may be of use - MBX Heroic rescue (http://www.amazon.com/OSHKOSH-Anniversary-Matchbox-Die-Cast-Vehicle/dp/B00HH5E6SI/ref=sr_1_47)

I have the turbo racer and plan to use it as a civilian SF vehicle (I game 28mm, so it's a bit of a tight fit). The one above is too small for 28mm, but looks like it could be a good patrol vehicle for 20mm

Post by: Flyer115 on August 29, 2014, 10:49:18 PM: Thanks that looks useful I will keep a eye out for it.

Post by: former user on September 04, 2014, 03:04:23 PM: nice

I don't understand why You overpainted the canopies and painted them in the same colour....

the shape (without wheels) reminds me very much of the SHADO interceptors

Haha, I was thinking the same!

I'm still not sold on 20mm but it seems a good size. Saw that Max Steel vehicle in the shop but for 28mm it's too small and for 15mm a tad too large.
