18mm Scratchbuilt Mechanicus Exploratory Survey Vehicle

Hello again all,

Here is another Scratchbuilt Vehicle.

Designed in Lightburn ( this is a great & relatively simple design program ). 
There should be a free download & for sure one can find people who do laser cutting online.

So go ahead & design. 

Note , You don't need to know how to draw but you do need to plan & calculate dimensions as everything must fit properly.

Laser cut in old HP Ohp transparency box card ( Ohp is dark age technology by today's standards 😉)

Tracks are my usual PC old IDE cables.

The mechanicus mini is scratchbuilt also.

Quite like how this came out. Notice the slots that help assemble everything.

Thanks for your comments.

18mm USMC 3D Printed USMC Jump Troops & Anti Tank crews

Hello again all,

This is a continuation of my USMC.

https://castrarunis.blogspot.com/2024/01/usmc-united-space-marine-corps.html

This time with Jump troops & Anti tank teams.

The smoke is simply hob extractor filter fleece with pva & ink. It is stronger than cotton wool for this.
I removed the pre modelled smoke.

The Commander has a rather nice ( Superhero like ) pose

All lovely minis

Kudos to the maker

Thanks for your comments.

18mm 3D printed Panthera minis & Papsikels droids

Hello again all,

Been quite a bit since I posted anything.

Still doing a lot of stuff though & have lots to share.

Here are some infantry from Panthera . I like his work a lot especially the split core ( separate torso & legs) .Loads of possibilities for kitbashing.

Papsikels Fukimasa Battle Droids are among the best around.

Enjoy

Thanks for your comments.

15/18mm Sci-Fi Home Away Team - Team Votann

These are 3d printed space dwarfs ( great as Votann ) from CAPRITOR

Very nice minis & I would like to print them in a large scale eventually. I bet they would look great kitbashed with left over GW Votann or Prospector parts.

Murder on the eyes at 15/18mm but the detail stays at that scale also. The sand coloured metal mini from Micropanzer is 18mm from foot to head.

This one ( the 1st one they did ) is my Favourite

Thanks for your comments. Z

Some more Papsikels Droids in 18mm

Hello again all,

These are another set of 3d printed droids from Papsikels.

Printed in small & large format.

Nice minis if a bit fiddly in 18mm. One must shore them up especially the ankles as they 

can ( will) easily snap off. Note that the print lines are virtually invisible at this scale.

Thanks for your comments. Z

USMC 18mm Power Armour & Jet bikes

Hello again all,

Another post for the USMC.

Kit bashed & 3D printed Jump Pack Power Armour ( KMFP Siege Armour )  & Jet bikes ( Various Artists) 

Quite pleased how they came out.

I'm starting to like 3d kitbashing a lot though I must say that plastic,card & glue gives quicker & more readily visible results.

Thanks for your comments. Z
