Adventures in 15mm Scifi

Nice work - I especially like the idea of using spoons for he hover car 

Ever find a really old thread, got to one point and said 'no, really?' followed by a really swift facepalm?

As for 28mm or larger, I know they usually get put up as small tanks, but I think you could do something similar to this with a small PC mouse.

Or some cut-down Easter eggs?

IIRC Black Widow Pilot had some Easter Eggs Starguard support vehicles back before there were any (not to name names) "Three Letter Miniatures Forums."

Good idea then and now.  Then because you had no other choice and good now because they are less expensive.

Gotcha, Glenn.

However, using most of the egg would give you something like an Maschinen Krieger tank. If you longitudinally slice the inner, say, third away, you end up with something like large spoons. The throwaways could be pulp car fenders... 

For 28mm, you'd have to have LARGE eggs, but I've seen, in the craft stores, up to about a foot and a half long.

Hello? Stumbled on this thread. TOTALLY after my own heart. Love the painting on some of my favourite 15s

Hoping you dijit are still at it with these and this post prods you to post some more😃

Yes, still well away at this work. I've added a few bits and pieces recently, so I guess I ought to dust off the camera and take so photos.


As for the Spooner 3000, I have another version currently under construction and will post pictures when it's done. I've also considered making myself som MAK like tanks from egg halves, just been waiting for the hobby shop here in Vejle to start stocking them ready for easter.

Smaller eggs could be AI driven (pun intended) AFVs.

'merican hobby shops had some for sale shortly after St Paddy's, and Valentine clearance not long after that. I know you need lead in time to start crafting, but you damn near get the proverbial 'Christmas in July' with the pre-selling.

I know, I should complain? Usually SOMETHING in each clearance suggesting terrain, though Halloween is the TOPS!
