Ground Pounders Need Love, Too.

WHEW! After all that air power, I better give the ground forces a bit of face time. First up is a custom sculpted alien hover/grav tank. I guess you could say my inspiration came from countless hours of playing Halo. One night I was just kinda screwing around in my studio and got the itch to sculpt something...well, different.

Not a very big tank, but she is packin'! This is a picture taken in standard light.

This is a picture taken with the UV light on. Yep, she glows!

I also gave her an iridescent, sparkling paint job to further convey the alien nature of this tank.

Onto some more standard fare. You may be able to guess where I got my inspiration for these....Again, I'm not really sure why I built these, but enjoy them anyway!

Believe it or not, these are Gundam shields that I turned into land speeders! I made the rear spoilers out of plastic card stock. The cockpits are just blobs of epoxy.

The speeder on the left needs no introduction. I sculpted it myself, other than the driver and the cargo stowed behind the seats. The speeder on the right is a Micro Machine speed boat. I stuck a pair of big jets and a NOS tank on the back!

Luke's speeder isn't exact...but it is fine by my standards!

Now for something just a little different. I am currently working on a large commission of vehicles and battle armor suits for a good friend of mine. In return for my services, he shows up with a big collection of super rare and OOP Anigrand Star Wars models. I took up the offer the same way I would answer Vanessa Hudgens if she called me up and asked me out- there is no way I could say no! Anyway, he's a 15mm gamer and has a selection of 15mm goodies for me to paint up. I like to step outside of my 10mm scale once in a while, and it is that much easier when the minis are totally sweet! Here are the first few vees that I have finished. These vehicles are resin-cast and made by Antenocitis Workshop:

A pair of 15mm Dodge-Tata Zebu patrol cars and a 15mm T-Pea hunchback APC/MRAP.

My friend wanted his scout cars armed, so he also supplied me with a bunch of spare weapons. Naturally, I thought the miniguns were a good choice!

The one thing I felt was missing from the minigun was an ammo feed. I created my own ammo belts using little zip ties. I also drilled out some bolt holes for the "hubcaps".

Scout cars need radio antennae, right? Hair brush bristles fit the part perfectly.

The APC was already cool-looking, but I thought it should have a front bumper. So, of course, I added one.

See? This post was short and sweet! I have tons of projects lined up for the next few months which means there will be lots more to show eventually. Plus, I am going to try to make a tutorial video this year. Thank you all for dropping by and a special thanks if you actually subscribe! I am amazed that I have acquired 93 followers!
