Nic-e's 15mm scratchbuilding. new figure sculpts and tanks.

[nic-e]

I have a bunch of 1/100 (15mm) figures I use for installation maquettes, and so I made them these hover tanks from old phone chargers.
I think they look a little bit 40k meets studio ghibli.

They do actually haha fantastic little builds from a novel source too

I like them a lot but the Preiser Geisha needs to go

Excellent!!

[nic-e]

Cheers chaps.

A couple of questions for anyone willing to answer,
1: how does a game of (soft) post apocalyptic nomads sound? (imagine blade runner meets studio ghibli in terms of style)

And 2:If i were to cast up some of these and sell them as cheap chunky 15mm vehicles, would there be any interest ?

[BlackWidowPilot]

Recycling with an attitude! Sir, I salute you!

[OSHIROmodels]

For your questions...

1) I'd certainly be interested in seeing that. Anything 'Ghiblipunk' gets my vote 

2) Asking the wrong person here but I would assume there would be some interest.

cheers

If i could afford genuine preiser figures i wouldn't be stealing peoples plugs,these are the cheap amazon recasts.  

Also figured i'd post a closer shot of this little hover caravan, since i like the turret and just find it quite retro and funky . Sadly the photos have made it very shiny ,but it looks better in real life (honest gov!)

The green one is very RAAAAWR!  

I like the lot. Well done.

I imagine the green one as a genuine military vehicle that has been wondering around for decades, whereas the others are more mobile bunkers/anti grav caravans pressed into service as homes and tanks.

Cheers!

Really nice work.

[Duke Donald]

These tanks are fantastic. Recycling old mobile phone chargers for that purpose is really inventive.

Anything with a Studio Ghibli vibe gets all my attention!

[von Lucky]

Yeah - these are really cute, and a whole world set with these would be lovely.

[nic-e]

Great to hear that you'd all be interested in seeing more.

My brother in law dropped an old iphone charger round today. It's a nice back heavy shape and i'm thinking of adding a mast and some bunting to it ,maybe a serving window and making it into a travelling tea house.

After that i'm gonna see what i can do with a couple of sets of 1/72 tank tracks and some plastic cubes. I'm thinking mobile farm!

[nic-e]

Started a new tank from an old apple charger. decided i wanted to add some ship like elements on this one ,i'm probably gonna add some bunting ,maybe a pirate flag and a bit of freehand to the side.





I'm not too sure what i want to do colour wise with it, i'm thinking chipped white paint and a bunch of rust, but since i'm back at uni soon it may take a while. I'm gonna be doing more of this......

......and a bit less of the cool stuff for a while.
