28mm SciFi Colonial Defence Force 27/04 WIP Tanks

[Belgian]

With plenty of projects in progress, I started yet a new one. This time a near future/ scifi Colonial Defence Force for service in the colonies. The force will be low tech scifi with trucks, tanks and infantry along with some attack helicopters and drones.

As I wanted to stay frugal I sourced cheap diecast vehicles with a more or less scifi angular look where possible and will be repainting them in army green. As this is one of many projects the paintjobs will be basic but good enough for the tabletop. The vehicles will include multipurpose trucks, tanks and maybe even apc´s, tracked artillery, support and engineering vehicles. Infantry will be the Wargames Atlantic male and female cannon fodder miniatures that I had already laying around.

So first up are three repainted diecast trucks originally painted as military ambulances. Now repurposed as multipurpose trucks with armored cabin containing for example a command post, troop transport, supplies etc and armed with a heavy duty machinegun. Quite happy with the result.

Promising start! Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

Looks good.

I'm planning to do this in 15mm/18mm scale, so went with Modern/Ultramodern Cold War, West Germans, since with their really big, shoulder-fired RPG, they look pretty SciFi to me.

Thanks, well that sounds great too! Looking forward in seeing your approach!

Quick work-in-progress, some toy tanks in primer.
