A few more 15mm Gladiators

A few more gladiators from rebel miniatures.
the first group are my 1st attempt at sculpting 15 15mm, A roman nobleman and a gladiator. The rest of the pictures show the 4 basic gladiators from rebel and some conversion I made with head and weapon swaps. The unpainted ones are the 4 types sold by rebel as is.


































































the 2nd set are all different with shield changes and head swaps the 1st set are the same but painted in a different color with the last re sculpted as an arena official

15mm Sci fi Winter outpost crew

On a recent posting on Dropship horizon they asked what 15mm you would like to see, my respond was some crew in winter gear. The only ones I have found so far were from GZG and should be on their way across the pond and into my clutches soon. In the mean time I took some figure from my GZG collection did a few head swaps and pushed some putty and made my own(about 40 so far). 1st is Professor H. Vanderbilt Smith and his daughter Mindy. A few of the female staff (with Svetlana the head of base security) a few of the male staff and a few troopers with MA-01(Max) one of the base androids. More to come and I hope you like them.

15 mm gladiators

Rebel miniatures just came out with some really cool gladiators in 15mm. As of now they only have a pack of four for $2.99. They are a Hoplomacus(with spear) a Myrmillo/Dimachaerii, a Thracian and a Not Theokoles from the show Spartacus(although he is not any bigger than they others) All the figures are well sculpted with nice detail and were fun to paint up. I really hope they make some more.



I had bought 2 sets so I could convert one set into other gladiators. One of the Theokoles I made into a Retiarii adding a net and arm armor out of putty(I am still working on the trident) I took one of the Dimachaerii and cut off his sword and gave him a shield,The Thracian lost his head and I sculpted a new Standard type hoplomacus helmet in its place.








The last two are a standing Secutores and a Roman noble, ready to deliver a verdict. both of these I sculpted out of putty and Dollies from "Splintered light miniature" I think they came out OK. I liked the Roman it actually came out close to the actor I was going for.(Titus Calavius the magistrate in Spartacus)




The last is a comparison shot with a GZG Sci fi civillian on the left and a "rebel miniature" police Gang squad trooper on the right.

Partisans war wagon painted

Finished the painting tonight. I just need to dull coat it and add some grass tuffs. Very fun little project.

Partisans war wagon

Saw this in the new book, it looked cool, not sure how practical it would be but I had to make it

WIP Armoured Siege Tower

I saw this picture online and thought it would make a cool project.
Some slight changes were made to fit the materials I was using, but I am trying to stay pretty close to the concept drawing.














I started out with a few electrical boxes as the core of the structure, then covered it with plastic card. I used Pegasus (?) Chemical plant parts for piping and railings and some old toy parts as well.

The Gun turret was made with plastic tubing and an old fire alarm housing.
The first track was made with old toy parts but they just did not seem beefy enough so I made my own using old caps from water bottles and other caps along with a plastic card strips. it came out Ok now I just need to make 3 more.

The next step will be the top big gun and decking, just trying to figure out the configuration.

More to follow.
