Very, very cool project there. :) I've been eyeing that Mantic drop/land/whatever ship a few times now. Very tempting.

Anyway, 28mm Battletech sounds cool. :D Really like what you did with the walker. Where did you get the pilot/mechanic from?

Thanks everyone!

Love that Mantic dropship and got a second one as Transport / Cargo ship under way. The Model needs some clean up / gap filling, but is still good value IMHO. It helps to watch the assembly video though.

@Sigur: All infantry models and pilots are DUST miniatures from the mercenaries range. Unfortunately mostly discontinued und hard to come by, but you can still find some miniatures here:

It’s been way too long since I updated this topic. So next up are a couple more vehicles that I recruited for this project. The tracked one is a 3D printed snow mobile, the AMX-10 RC is also a 3D print I bought online, and the BTR-60 is the excellent kit from Rubicon. The BTR pilot was modified a little with green stuff, the other crew are DUST mercenaries. And of course some stowage had to be added.

Also added some more DUST mercenary infantry, along with some shots along with the new vehicles.

Another Hornet, this time as cargo ship. Not sure yet if I will attach the container to the ship. This one has also fhe landing gear extended.
