WIP 15mm Mercenary Mech Company

Hi guys, well, after Spaceman spiff of TMP created his 10mm Scifi blog I have had a renewed enthusiasm for 15mm sci fi (thanks Spaceman), in particular for all things Mech, so have started several 15mm Mech projects, this is the latest, (I want to build all the mechs of each project, so I can paint them all with the spray gun in the same session) I usually do all military figs/models in military colour schemes, however I was impressed with a pink/white Mech on Spaceman Spiffs blog and thought I would like to do some colourful mechs, so am designing a Japanese style Mercenary Mech force, I bought 16 of these plastic Mechs from a Russian seller on ebay quite cheap so they will be ideal for some experimentation, I am up sizing most of them and because the detail is a bit soft, will be doing a bit of conversion and detail work. These 8 will be colourful, the other 8 will be more military looking. I want to turn these pretty average models into something stunning, thats the plan anyway, we will see how they turn out.

  4. Wow, this is an ambitious project and sounds very cool, and technically difficult. I think if anyone can pull this off, it'll be you. I'm watching with interest.

  7. Nice find Dan,

    what about samurai or Persian silks prints, I do like the idea of Chinese dragons though.

    good luck with the project!

    cheers
