Adventures in 15mm Scifi

[dijit]

I should have hired you to paint my stuff instead of selling it to you 

Yes, but then I wouldn't have them

[max]

They turned out really well, and the hover car is great!

[dijit]

So a few more mercenaries painted up, togetehr with another robot, crime boss and diplomat (back row from left)


I also had some nurglings lurking in my bits box, so they've been based and painted, not sure as what yet. They'll probably be some sort of beasty to kill.

Lovely work. There are some great space port type characters on 15mm.co.uk

Lovely stuff, not what I need to see as have started to be tempted by 15mm Sci-Fi.

But just in case do you have any links for those PF models?

[dijit]

Thanks again. A spaceport is exacting what I'm going for, some sort of Mos Eisley type setting. I've had a look around 15mm.co.uk, and looks like they've got some decent models, but it's a little difficult to tell for sure as the pictures aren't always great, and sometime the painting isn't either, and on a few both of the above. So it's a little difficult to tell for sure.

But just in case do you have any links for those PF models?

Yeah sure no problem:

Both places are fast and good service.

There are also some with Critical Mass Miniatures, in their mercs line, which I haven't got yet.

Ok, just to show this project hasn't died.
First a few minis from Khurasan I've painted up over the past couple of months. Lovely minis to paint. Behind them is some sort of tractor type thing I picked up second hand, a nice little model that'll provide cover in the streets.


I've also been working on some terrain. I've got lots more bits part finished and ideas for others. But what I have covers 2' by 2'8" board. So that's a good start. I went for the classic arid region of Firefly/Tatoonine/a myriad of other scoff tropes, though it'd be interesting to try a sci-fi temperate type board.




I'm playing to start a solo campaign soon, with Fantastic Worlds providing the game mechanics and the Mythos RPG to the provide the RPG elements in between. Mythos has a GM emulator, that should help keep it fresh.

[Etranger]

Very nice.

The crawler is a Khurasan model too BTW.

[dijit]

Thanks, good to know where it's from.

Fantastic stuff dijit, love your Spooner 3000 too - may have to make a few of those for my 6mm, maybe using smaller sugar spoons! The CP models stuff is nice, got some of their robots and crime guys for Ghosts of Hefei.

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😃

Glad to see how this project is working out.

Makes me glad to know my decision to move from 25+mm to 3mm/15mm (while keeping some of the legacy 6mm/1970s 25mm stuff at least for now) was not just a flight of fancy.  While I am far from your level of painting skill I am actually inspired to try and improve my skills by increasing my painting rate.  You have no idea how inspiring your work is to me.


Anyone know a company that makes 15mm or 6mm figures that could pass for those old 25mm Galactic Grenadiers?

If anyone has any other bright ideas to make hover cars then please do share. Unfortunately I've not seen any plastic spoons big enough for 28mm as they'd have to be serving spoons.

Plastic measuring cups. If you can find the scoop style ones, they have a really nice sci fi shape.

That just went on my "ideas to remember" list!
