What's Rolled, Trundled, Walked, Flown, or Hovered Off The Workbench of Late...

As the post title says, here's a visual parade of what assorted madness and mayhem I've managed to fit in between shredding my brain almost daily on The Thesis From Hell and other fits of academic lunacy:




 The 28mm Gunship finished at last...




Generic scaled gun emplacements. The Weapon mounts rotate 360 degrees, and were originally plastic soup bowls with assorted bits and such to give them some character, but no visible doors or windows to keep them scale neutral...



The heavy artillery/anti-tank emplacement...


The mixed armament emplacement...



A pair of 15mm heavy grav tanks in desert camp spec...


Closeup of the energy cannon armed variant with the turret rotated back to the 5 o'clock position. Note the driver's station in the front of the hull...


The hypervelocity cannon armed variant, again with the turret rotated to the 5 o'clock position...


A c-cubed variant and an air defense variant works in progress to join the tank section...



A pair of heavy grav assault howitzers to support my Khurasan Miniatures Federal Army Exterminators demi-brigade (all a work of progress together!)...


The Exterminator infantry with their RAM mortar platoon...



So I walked into CVS for something and I spotted these in the toy aisle for $8 and some change...


And of course not being one to look a gift trio of mecha in their voice speaker grills...


I got down to business...


One by one...


I added bits... then a primer coat....


And on went the base coats...


One by one...


One after the other...



Adding a second shade of the base color and second and third pattern colors...


And yer just gonna have ta wait until next time to see how they turned out! Stay tuned... Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!

  1. Great work as usual! What did you use to make the hulls and turrets for the 15mm grav tanks?

    1. Plastic appetizer trays. I originally found them at Tuesday Morning, and later ordered them in bulk from an online catering supplier. I'm thinking of using them for 28mm anti-grav jeeps as well, as they make for a very useful grav sled body indeed...

  3. I am always amazed at your work. I am also always amazed that I can never seem to find any of the parts you use :)

  4. Love the mecha trio. Drug stores and dollar stores are great places to find all kinds of nice treasure.
