Medium grav AFVs




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, with flourescent desk lamp lighting from above.

Asteroids from Dollar Tree

Image
 Asteroids from Dollar Tree (and Home Depot or Lowe's).  I bought (1) a set of 4 white styrofoam balls and (2) 2 sort of twigs with black and orange balls.  The unused black and orange balls, no longer taped together as a twig, are in foreground.   I used the wire that formed the twig to mount each ball to a heavy metal washer.  I mounted the white styrofoam balls on flight stands that I had glued to heavy metal washers long ago (and used for Full Thrust).  Then I put them in cardboard box and hit them with shots of gray primer and black primer until I thought they looked OK.

gCarrier in Splinter Pattern

Image
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

More science fiction operators

Image
The middle miniature is Reaper Bones.  The other two are metal.  I don't remember where they came from -- possibly the bits box at my local game store.  They are all painted to work with the three agents or operators I posted for 13 April 2020.  After posting these pictures, I gave the one on the right a clear base to improve stability. Background is the same tie-dyed polyester fleece from Joann's.  Shot with iPhone 6 at default settings.
