A Battletech Dropship

I got one of these years ago to use in a 28mm starship build that never happened but it would work really well as a Battletech drop ship.  What do you think?

Shanty Town part 2

I have finally finish part 2 of my shanty town project.  This section has the general store and Bar for all the local scum and villainy.  Again they are the lovely GZG 15mm shanty town buildings.  I used raw plugs for some high tech fencing posts but they are a little bit to big. Should have used smaller ones.  Fist shots are just trying to come up with a layout I liked.

Firestorm Armada RSN ship

I have a real love of starships and have written a number of rules sets for down the club.  I am building up a fleet for a campaign at some point.  This is my newest ship all painted up; The RSN Spectre class battleship.

Copplestone 15mm Fantasy

I have wanted to try a bit of 15mm fantasy for a while now and picked up some 15mm Copplestone figures. They are some of the best 15mm around, if not the best.  They look like 28mm that have been shrunk. I have to thank John Treadway  for putting me on to my painting visor that has different lenses.  Without that I was struggling to paint 15mm.

Before X-wing there was X-wing

A few years ago I started to collect micro machines star wars fighters for a display game.  You could pick them up cheap on Ebay.  I ended up with a pretty big collection (about 30+ Tie fighters and 20+ Rebel fighters) so started on a set of simple fighter rules. Whilst play testing one of my players said had I seen the new X-wing models coming out.  So there went my idea for a display game I was thinking of.  I do love the new X-wing models but cannot justify ignoring all my micro machine re-paints.  I also picked up a couple of the big electronic Blockade runners before they started fetching big money.  One is undercoated and the other is part painted.  Sorry the pictures are a bit wobbly I need to get a tripod.  I will try to get them re-done when I have a chance.

The Falcon is the snap fit kit that was out not to long ago.  I just did a little re-paint on it.  As the micro machines are a tad smaller I think it fits pretty well with them and is a lot cheaper then the proper x-wing game Falcon.

The A-wing is from Starship battles range as the micro machines one looks way to big.

Stellar Envoy 1/100th scale ship

Continuing with the Star Wars theme here is a picture of my Stellar Envoy.   Its a double decked ship in a similar design to the old YT-3000 series. But this is 36 meters long. 

This started life as a micro machines play set.  I had this from new back in my days as a Star wars collector back before the internet took off big time and really drove done the price of collectables.  Not to mention that the new movies damaged the collectable market too.

15mm scale Star Wars Titanium AAT

I got hold of some old Titanium star wars AAT toys that work well for 15mm sci-fi.  Just slapped some paint on them and then got some Critical Mass RAL for the Droids and away you go.  Mine will be used as mercenaries  in my home grown background. One of the things I love about 15mm is that so many toys once re-painted can be used in your games.

A couple more shanty town pics

The last couple of shanty town pictures finishing off from the last post.  You can see the separate Angel Barracks vegi patch.
