Alternative Armies 15mm Scifi minis

Finished the Alternative Armies 15mm Sci fi minis I had pending.

1) Security & Prisoners ( they came out quite good in orange )
2) Psykers ( Nice poses )
3) The Star Mercs ( in yellow ) are very nice minis. My favourite ones are the ones with shotguns.
4) The Grima robots ( left in polished metal + black wash ) & handlers are another nice group.
5) The SFA would make great imperial guard minis.

Critical Mass Games 18mm Kamados & Mercenary Mechs

Had these Critical Mass minis for years & I finally painted them.

The Kamados are a unique set of robotic infantry.

I'm fond of their small beady eyes set in a round head. Makes them unique.
Blue black base, then blues , greys & white.

I experimented with colours on the mechs.
These are lovely models if one is into mechs. The one with the claw has a jump pack. 
The missiles are scratchbuilt in 3d from another model.

Started with an orange base colour ( you can see it on their underneath ) then the blue zenithal.
It makes a nice contrast & I like it.

Hand made decals printed on an inkjet & lots of weathering.

GZG Lunar 18mm minis

Hello again all,
These are my Chinese ( Reddish Brass Visor ) & British ( Golden Visor ) Lunar infantry.
Very nice minis.

Mechs are 3D printed.
Still have to do vehicles or landers.
With hindsight, I should have taken the photos on a neutral background. Seems the paint job did it's work to camo them.😉

18mm 3d Printed Power Armour by Red Pilgrim

These are some of the nicest power armour I have. Can't find the link , not sure if it was taken down.
They're by Red Pilgrim. Another great set of minis from a very good artist. 
Practical field design. 
The hefty six shooter and HMG are what I like best.

3D printed 18mm mini by Panthera for scale


Some slight  kitbashing was done.

18mm 3D Printed FKMSA Destroyer Robots by Papsikels

Hello again all,
Another kitbashed set of robots ... you can never have enough robots !!!
I gave them 4 arms so as to be formidable killer robots. 
A bit delicate at 18mm so make sure that arms & ankles are shored up.

I used steel needles ( 0.7mm D) to fix arms in place as they were breaking off.


The bases are made up of the grid rafts used in 3D printing, so do not throw them away. 

The rust is real rust. Was cleaning some rusted metal parts with white vinegar & noticed that the residue
would be great to use as rust ( it is rust after all 😉).
It comes quite nice when dry..
Can be coloured & diluted for any effect one desires as the normal white vinegar bought in markets is mild & mostly water ( just check the percentage on the bottle ). Keep in mind it is still acidic, though , you DO NOT want to splash it in your eye.
