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.


This time with Jump troops & Anti tank teams.

From here

and here



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.
