Category: 15mm sci-fi

In anticipation of a new terrain build – 15mm interiors something along the lines of Tiny Solitary Soldiers – here are a few pieces of scatter cover.  First up, three plastic trees.  These are repainted Toob Trees primed black and dry brushed up.   The bases of the trees are fortification pieces from...

It’s time for the 10mm sci-fi figures in my collection to shuffle out of the regular rotation.  For a variety of reasons, I’m abandoning the scale.  There are too many great looking 15mm figures out there for me to ever buy and paint them all.  The selection is broader....

Man, I have got to find some decent scenarios for Flying Lead.  The boy and I lined up 450 points worth of evenly matched forces against each other and just did a shoot-em-til-they’re-dead match.  This time it was his space mercs (GZG) attacking my police force.  After more than...

It’s hard to be a middle-aged wargamer who doesn’t own a table.  Living in limbo while searching for a decent place to live forced your humble host to choose between comfort (a sofa) and utility (a table).  Comfort won in a landslide.  Tonight, though, tonight things worked out such that...

Well now, here’s a thing.  Two part epoxy putty for conversions.  Let’s start with something small and easy – adding helmets to armored orcs from 15mm.co.uk’s Space Viking line.  How hard can it be?  I’ve worked with small details.  I’ve spent hours working with clay.  I’ve even read two...

Thirty infantry and two light mechs.  That’s a good sized force for a game.  In addition to the mechs, this force has six heavy weapon troops, four squad leaders, and a platoon leader. Thinking about it, one of those three rifleman attached to the command squad would make a...

Now we’re getting to the fun stuff for my son’s space dwarves.  They’ve now got a command squad to go with the four regular squads.  These six figures are part of 15mm.co.uk‘s line of Space Vikings.  The great thing about 15mm.co.uk is that, unlike most manufacturers in the 15mm...

Just a couple of quick shots of one layout showing the whole town.  This should give you an idea how the paint scheme for the houses is bright and varied, but hangs together as a whole. Gimme some time, and I’ll lay it out with all the trimmings to...

Various life adventures stalled work on the one box sci-fi terrain, but we’re back in business.  The last three buildings are all painted and clear coated.  Two small buildings and the big old factory-style behemoth wrap up that phase of construction. The balcony cover on that big building looks...

It’s summertime.  No soccer coaching.  No homework.  No marathon training.  This is supposed to be the busy time for catching up on a year’s worth of miniature wargame stuff.  And yet, thanks to a big move and work and other boring real world stuff, progress has slowed to a...
