  Bunkermeister's blog entry today has light aircraft to be used for Pussy Galore's Fllying Circus from the movie Goldfinger.  I thought it was amusing that the internet chose to show me the ad above when I went to the blog.

Today's pictures are all Zhodani military vehicles and troopers.  Camouflage is for regions of planets habitable by humans, where photosynthesizing plant life, native or imported, flourishes. First is a general purpose grav vehicle (gGPV), shown above and below with a trooper for scale.  The vehicle was originally a pencil sharpener from a dollar store.  Trooper is a 25mm Denizen Ventauran.  Above is a light gAFV with a trooper for scale.  The vehicle was originally a Belkin wired mouse without a scroll wheel.  Trooper is a Denizen Ventauran.  He is standing at the back of the vehicle. These are two medium gAFVs or gcarriers.  They were originally soap dishes of the same type as in my 11 June 2020 post, Zhodani gCarriers (from Daiso, a Japanese dollar store). Paint for all was Rustoleum Ultra Matte Perfect Gray Paint & Primer ("Ultra Matte"), Rustoleum Camouflage Sand, and Krylon Camouflage Olive.  It's not visible in the pictures, but the undersides of the vehic

Here are two medium grav armored fighting vehicles.  I haven't done a Striker or StarGrunt design for them yet, but I'm imagining them in the multi-purpose role: carrying small teams or critical supplies, insertions and extractions, etc. They can be used by any faction that uses Arabic numerals -- Third Imperium, Sword Worlds, Solomani Confederation, etc.  I may try my hand at an Imperial sunburst stencil with future vehicles.  These are essentially identical wired mice, one by HP and one by Compaq.  I primed in Rustoleum flat black primer and added Rustoleum flat brown and Krylon flat river rock.  Masks were strips of very old, thin, distressed cotton from handerchiefs that had finally gone to the rag pile.  This kind of material is woven with threads at right angles.  It gives a nice soft edge, but tends towards straight lines.  Greeblies are from various sources.  Identification alphanumerics are from an old a sheet of vinyl (I think) letters. Shot with iPhone 6, no flash, w

Here is a gcarrier in a splinter camouflage pattern, with 25mm miniature figures for scale.  I haven't decided which faction will get this vehicle yet.  Paints were Rustoleum primer white, primer brown, primer gray, and Krylon khaki camouflage.  Masking tape was used for masking.  The triangle thing on top is a cut from a square sticker used to protect the floor from furniture feet.  The landing feet are round squares of the same material.  No gluing was needed for this model.  This vehicle was formerly a miniature vaccuum cleaner: I believe that I acquired it at a yard sale for much less than $1.  This picture shows stickers that I have added for the driver's escape hatch (round pink "$1"), for the driver's and gunner's viewports (red rectangles), for the top hatch (gray rectangle of duct tape), and for the top triangle, maybe a sensor and communications array, or the point defense system. The gcarrier has three forward-pointing guns, which are not visible in

Here are four Zhodani gcarriers with camouflage suitable for a variety of environments, but especially habitable worlds with abundant carbon (which makes the ground brown).    They were originally hard plastic (I think styrene) soap dishes:   Here is an action shot for scale, with 25mm Denizen Ventaurans, a RAFM Traveller robot, and an unidentified device.
