I was going to upload some more Pics today. But Google Blogger who host my site are having problems with "Improvements" to their website.

Means I can't actually upload pictures that can be seen by anyone!

Love it when they "Improve a site" Or is that "Break"

 lol

They are about 28mm. The Figures that came with them in the old days match up well with current 28/30mm figs.

The figure in my first figure is a heroclix conversion. Sorry it's out of focus. But the lady is a bit tall cos of the Heroclix scaling.

Yup they do look nice painted. One I did a while back. (Leds inside too!). :)

Love this vehicle. I occasionally look for some myself. Two inspiring conversions. Great work!

Surprised they are 28mm. I would have guessed at 20mm. So much the better.

Can't link the pictures in here for some reason. But I think you can see them on the Blog.

Still missed out some of the Vehicles. Like the Flying Car Model. "Flight Hunter" Though I always found the wings never really looked right when popped out. So I didn't bother on my models.

Yay! I can get to my Blog again!!



This is a before pic of a new power armour made from a cheap Atlas from MechWarrior Dark Age Clix.
Used a spare head from a marine after I cut the cockpit from the miniature.

I got 2 of these at 20p each from a local game show. Bargains!

Uploaded a couple more piccies. Something happened weird with the last massive one on the blog. But you get the idea.



Figures are from Copplestone and Foundry. Plus the Power-armour has been painted.

New purchases and bits I have started on the vehicles I got from the NEC last Sunday.

Bumping this thread, coz I finally got around to doing mine. I was inspired by this thread, but it took a while to get all the models from ebay. Then I was searching around for the right sort of turrets.

Most of the extra bits are resin from Ramshackle Games.

I am liking the 6 wheelers & what you guys have done with them.
Not so impressed with the others.
Will have to keep an eye open at local Di-cast show (next Saturday).

Great job on those! I've loved this line ever since I was a kid, even though I never had any of the vehicles back then. (but luckily my friend nextdoor did)  8)

And some more on new Cheapo Robots.



Couldn't quite find it on your blog, but could you please tell us where the orange and green mechs are from? They look scaled just right to use as conversion fodder for my Battletech project...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I think I saw some of these, or very similar, while on holiday and nearly bought some: the ones I saw were being sold as party bag favours at about 30p each. 
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

2019 Painting Challenge :
figures bought: 500+
figures painted: 57
9 vehicles painted
4 terrain pieces scratchbuilt
