15mm Mecha project

Hi guys

I have had a long time 15mm Mecha project simmering, buying Mechs cheap when they come up, after getting some inspiration from several 15mm 3D print mecha threads, I have decided to start mine, so I went trawling through my stash for my mechs, I have built one set of small mechs years ago (pics added) as well as these unmade mechs, and I have 3 more plastic kits on their way from HLJ and 8 Mechwarrior clix of ebay.
The Silver/Maroon mechs will be enlarged, I will try to get these from small to medium, the baggies at the bottom have some small Rebel minis and medium Khurasan mechs, probably leave them this size, the heavy gear stuff is more large battle suit size, but they will be in the project.
The 4 coloured mechs on the left were bought at a bargain shop for $2.50 for the set, they are rubbish as is, but I will heavily convert a couple, and use a couple as downed mechs.
The boxed plastic kits will be converted to look more mechwarrior than Gundum, I will replace hand held weapons with weapons integrated into the arms, maybe change the heads, we will see.
I made the Japanese mercs before really planning this project, so may carry this theme into 1 force (with Khurasans man size robots as ground support), do another force with a unified paint scheme (thinking of expanding my colonial marines into gthis force), and 2 alien forces, 1 Avian (Harook) might get some of Khurasans Hauk figures and do a unified Avian force, the other CMGs Kaamados dominion.

WIP 15mm Speeder and Thunderhawk

Hi guys

I gave the speeders a couple of coats of PVA to try and smooth out the surface, despite the rough finish it is an improvement, and will at least seal the surface to help the paint/washes from being soaked up by the spongy plastic. Will start the painting tomorrow.
this next model was printed by the same company, it is based on a Thunderhawk, but his to small to be a 15mm Thunderhawk, and is more suited to 6mm, I have tried to bulk it out with card stock armour plates, and will use it as a small drop ship, carrying maybe 2 squads.

15mm Blood Angel land speeders ready for paint

Hi guys

These guys are ready for undercoating (can anyone think of any improvements before I do this?) the side crew are only blu taced on, I only gave the Space Marines beaky helmets, back packs and shoulder armour was not going to fit in the cockpit. The morning sun glare is hiding all the detail, I'll take more after the undercoat.

WIP 15mm Blood Angel land speeders

Hi guys

I bought these 3 D prints years ago, finally decided to do something with them, they are quite grainy, so I gave them a sanding down with some nail files, and I will give them a coat of varnish to smooth them out, the sculpts had 2 drivers in each, they are way to small, so have cut them out, and will replace with converted minis, (the minis in the pics are only placed for testing, I have cut them down since to get a good fit) the 2 without wings will be manned with scout, 2 in the front and 1 in each side door, the other 2 will have 2 normal marine space crew.
