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.

USMC 18mm ( United Space Marine Corps )

Here are my USMC,
Check out the previous posts.
The flying APC's/Air Taxi ( still have to come up with a suitable name ) are scratchbuilt. laser cut card, coffee pod end bits & 3D printed weapons. The Spin washing liquid drop pod is also finished ( I did 5 of them + generic decals , though not in pics ). The mechs are 3d printed.
I need to do the power armour next.

I have added the USMC insignia for those who might need it. Nothing says space than Saturn.



























Thanks for your comments.

Scratch built 18mm USMC Scifi Lander Part 2

Hello again all,
The engines have been done. All magnetised. This will give me the ability to use them on other builds.
I did not think it would be this large but everything can be dismantled for easy storage. This is a very important consideration if storage space is lacking. Fruit pack caps for the turbo fans & old camera film roll for the jet engines.
The legs are made of cut down teeth flossers ( since they have a 90deg angled head ) and disposable razor heads.
