My 15mm Plog: sci fi troopers, odds and ends

[Cordial]

Greetings! First post here to share my new found addiction to 15mm 
I plan to do a full army of pseudo GDI troops from Tiberian Sun, alongside sceneries scaled accordingly.

First results so far:





Hope you like it

Great colour scheme and paintjob on these NSL troopers! 15mm ftw! 

[DivisMal]

Oh yes! I do like this. It’s pretty good and GDI/NOD is an interesting scenario.

[Cordial]

Thanks for the comments! Yes, NOD is probably next on the schedule with ORC troopers from GZG painted in black/red scheme.
Though I am tempted to buy every robot around and make a Z theme army (the old RTS video game that kept trash talking you during missions  ).
15mm surely is exhilarating!

Excellent paint work and choice of colors! I am very interested in see what you do for the NOD!

Where did you get the buildings from?

I use to spend hours playing Tiberian Sun< I really like to see what you come up for all the rest of that game like refinery, harvesters and a like.

WOW!  Fantastic paint work.

Thank you for your comment! The buildings are an MDF kit designed by Red Vectors and sold by Minibits.

Wow, the GZG shipping charges for the US have spiked considerably from the last time I ordered.

UK to USA shipping charges (vis the Royal Mail) have shot up very recently. It will be accross the board, no matter where you buy from in the UK. All I'd suggest is look at how much you have to spend before some sellers offer free postage... it may be REALLY worth it now .

Did you look at the GZG homepage?

There are two news posts that explain.

As at 1/7:

IMPORTANT - SHIPPING TO USA, all US customers please read!

As of today (Wednesday 1st July), there has been a very large increase in the prices that the USPS charges for some package deliveries, and therefore the prices that I am charged by Royal Mail have also increased significantly. These changes (which are, of course, completely outside my control) are very complicated, and affect certain services and weights of packets much more than others - I need some time to work out all the ramifications of the changes, and to figure out a charging structure that is fair to everyone, but in the meantime I have had to put in place an emergency rate that I hope will cover most cases.

THIS MEANS THAT MANY USA ORDERS, ESPECIALLY SMALLER ONES, WILL SHOW A MUCH INCREASED SHIPPING CHARGE AT THE MOMENT - BUT if the actual cost of shipping and packing works out to be lower then I will REFUND any significant excess via Paypal after the packet is shipped, as I already do for larger orders.

These cost changes will most likely mean that more US orders will become more economical to ship via FedEx than by normal post, so I expect to be using FedEx shipping much more, especially on medium to large orders - this does have the advantage of being very much faster and more efficient.

I will post more info here as and when I work out more of the details of the new charge rates - in the meantime, if you have any questions feel free to email me (Jon) via the "contact" section.

As at 26/7:

Now that almost a month has gone by since the big US postal cost increases, I thought that I had better update everyone on the situation; I've been trialling some new ultra-flat packing boxes that are within the dimensions for the "Large Letter" rates, which are much cheaper than the new Packet rates to the US. I will be able to use this packaging for many small to medium US orders, and where I can do so the shipping rates will be much more reasonable. For the moment I am going to leave the store rates set as they are, but in MOST cases I will be able to REFUND a significant proportion of the charges on smaller orders, while larger ones will be shipped by FedEx or similar courier. I will update the information when I can, but for the moment please don't panic about the size of the shipping cost on smaller US orders - feel free to email and ask if want any further information.
