Mech force so far
Hi guys
Lonely little 15mm infantry figure out front for scale.
So my Mechwarrior clix have arrived, here is a group shot with some of the other Mech I have built so far, so here is the problem, I think they are all (the clix) about 30% to small, my 2 largest mechs I'm classing as 100 tonne assaulty mechs, the mech sitting between them is a clixs 100 tonne assault mech, I won't be able to get it to the same size, but I might be able to get another 30mm height and some more bulk out of it, and the same with the others, I will make some strategic cuts around ankles, knees and waist and place some spacers in, then bulk them out with extra armour.
I should have about 48 mechs in the collection now, so will build 4 factions with 12 mech and 15mm supporting infantry and vehicles, I will do a Davion, Jade Falcon, Mercs, and a 4th undecided faction.

Scratch built 15mm Urbanmech
Hi guys
My first 15mm fully scratch built mech, its still a work in progress, made my first an urbanmech, because of the simple design, and I'm testing a new medium, (intend to make 8-10), 15mm figure for scale, I usually use kneadatite, procreate or miliput for sculpting, but have been eyeing off polymer clay for a long time, finally thought I would give it a go for this project, its about half the cost of miliput and a fifth of kneadatite, this sculpt cost me $3 Australian to complete.
Polymer clay has some interesting properties, you can pick it up and handle it without leaving finger prints or distorting the shape, and you can take your time sculpting as it stays soft until cured in an oven.
Its not perfect, but I have limited funds at the moment, I'm hoping to get a resin 3D printer for Christmas.
