As a young lad I grew up watching all of the sci-fi Programs of the late 70s and 80s, There are a few which particularly stuck in my mind Aliens, Starship Troopers and of course War of the Worlds.
So I thought I would combine all of these interest into one sci-fi Project to simplify matters.
I have been asking for help from the pendraken forum for names for my warring factions, also some transport options for Pendragon SF15x Colonist in space suit and SF16x Colonist in space suits with heavy weapons. For aerial support I've decided to use Eagle from space 1999.
So any suggestions would be more than welcome.

If you're looking for suggestions on other manufacturers you should check out Hawk War-games. Their Dropzone Commander game has some great looking 10mm stuff.

After doing some research I have found that there were three different types of laser tank in the series space 1999 all three versions who built on a chieftain tank chassis so I'm going to have a go a building a couple.

The type you have pictured is similar to the current BUK missile launcher vehicle used by Russia and its allies. A similar vehicle was used to down the Malaysian Airlines flight over Ukraine.

who does 10mm chieftain tanks ??
There's a bloke selling some on ebay at the moment - link (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-250th-10mm-Chieftain-Tank-British-Metal-Painted-Exc-Con-Free-Post-/252280311766)
There are plenty 6mm (GHQ) or 15mm (QRF), but 10mm modern seems a bit sparse :(

Ok I think the Russian vehicles have been identified by a forum member over at militaryhistoryonline.com (http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/forums/ViewPost.aspx?ForumID=38&ID=30916)
2K12 "Kub" missile launcher (NATO codename "SA-6 Gainful")

Search continues to find the 10mm equivalent
A 10mm chieftain tank has been found by a forum member over at leagueofaugsburg.com (http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/fightingtalk/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6794)

Be careful when going to the minifigs website at the moment.
I was following a link to it this morning and it popped up a "you've won an iphone" add pretending to be from goggle, which I closed. Second attempt brought up some other dodgy website. I've just tried again, and although it did go through, it passed through a page with an "UGG Boots" in its title.
They may have some issues on that site just now, so take care
edit: just checked going direct and it looks okay. Clicking the google link gave me all the problems, which is weird... http://www.miniaturefigurines.co.uk/Home.aspx should be clean. I'm off to report the google link to google

The russian company that makes 10mm (or 15mm?) plastic sci-fi tanks and mechs is called "Tehnolog". They are also the makers of the 28mm game Robogear and another game called Brone-something-or-other. I have the 28mm versions of the small scale tanks and they're quite nice.
For 10mm it's also worth seeing what's available from the now-defunct Mechwarrior clix lines. There were a huge number of Mecha, infantry, vehicles and even some aircraft. Some are cheaper than others, but there's still quite alot of it floating around out there. We've built many 10mm sci-fi armies from rebased mechwarrior clix.

Nice work! :D
May I recommend the Dropship Commander miniatures as well. And then mainly their UCM and Resistance lines, which would mesh really well with your project... :)

Thanks for the link for the Tehnolog they have some great miniatures however I am struggling to find out what scale they are. But I suppose with it being sci-fi it doesn't really matter.
I used to play MechWarrior many years ago, so that would most certainly be an excellent source for vehicles and Mechs.

Spartan Games have some nice stuff in their 'Planetfall' range, and the forthcoming HALO ground combat rules should have some nice minis to go with them too!

You're very welcome!
It can be hard with the tehnolog stuff. The figures are 15mm though the tanks might be better scaled for 10mm.
http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=248651
There's also review showing the mecha and they seem to scale up with 10mm not being big enough to really accommodate a 15mm driver.
http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=244475
The game they are from is called Z.O.D.

Those are really cool Andy. I've got the same thunderbirds toy waiting for paint. What kits did you use for the VTOL's?

Thanks. I've got more than enough Mechwarrior VTOL's for now, but at that price I'll definitely buy a few if they come up for sale again!

That seller is always selling them. He will have more.
Plus just eBay 4d or Rd a and you will find other sellers.
I think the multiple sellers are all the same peeps though.
They will cost .99$ with shipping $3 per unit no mater how many you buy.
