FKMSA Advance Battle Droid Armoured Vanguard Units from Papsikels

Hello again all,

Just finished these 3d printed droids from Papsikels.

Lovely minis. 

I would gladly use them for Killteam as Space Marines as well as 18mm Heavy droids.

They are based on 40mm bases. Figure on the back is an 18mm metal mini from Micropanzer

Thanks for your comments. Z

15/18mm Scale Pipelines - Finished

Hello again all,

Here they are all finished.  See the previous post.

I tried something different this time. Instead of starting with a dark undercoat I started with a silver one. Then added dark green, blue black, brown etc.

Thanks for your comments.

Puppetwar 3d printed 18mm Strikers

These are my Puppetwar 3d printed 18mm Strikers .

https://puppetswar.eu/digital-files/all-strikers.html

They are printed at approximately 22mm so as to compare well to my 18mm human metal minis. This is the same scale I use for Wh40k .

Humans -18mm, Space Marines 22mm, Terminators 25mm etc. 2 Euro cent piece for scale.

Puppetwar make great minis but obviously scaling down , 3D printing. kitbashing, building & painting them at 18mm scale has its pros & cons.  

I really wish they would do scaled down ready built 18mm versions.  Others do it so I would not think it is difficult to do. 

Printing them at 32mm or bigger really shows their detail & they would be good as WH40K proxies.

The Bushi one, shown below & painted as a White Scar is a great example ( this mini was printed , so to say, out of the box as is & came out at around 40mm ) . Their minis are designed for their system , so keep this in mind if you are going to print them as proxies.

The mechs are great designs also. I modded one with open visor, just added 2 pistons.

Now they have larger ones which I still need to print. 

Thanks for your comments.

GZG - 18mm FSE

Hello again all,

Just finished my GZG - 18mm FSE .

Another great faction by Ground Zero Games.

Still waiting for his new stuff as I'm running out of 18mm metal minis to paint.

I have said it before & I will say it again, nothing beats the weight of metal figs ( perhaps because I'm old school ).

Unless one is doing conversions ( off course ) then plastic figures & vehicles are the best.

3d printing is great for versatility /huge choice , especially if one can use a 3d prog.

I added a Khurasan vehicle ( which I had for ages ) + another 2 scratchbuilt / 3d printed ones.

Also added 3d printed mechs & power armour which I found free on thingyverse ( If I remember correctly ) and Rebel minis tracked drones plus scratchbuilt sprue mortars/light artillery.

The mechs are Mf-19 Fenrir Battle Suit - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5232227

The PA are 6mm battle armour - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5206420
