a chronicle of my fall from 28mm scifi gaming/painting into the wonderful abyss of constantly emerging new 15mm toys

a lull in the action
Hello, has been quite a while since I painted anything for 15mm. I seem to be in a slump. having ordered so many 15 mm goodies, I seem to be paralyzed by choices....so I did what any sane, rational man would not.
I started a new blog and a new scale. brilliant.
Actually just a side project, painting some old discarded mechwarrior clickies I had lying about in a box.
Will try to make useable armies out of the trash, for use with Gruntz, and Tactical assault card game.
Actually has sparked a little creative fire under my aging neurons, and am enjoying painting once again.
if interested in progress /ramblings along the 10 mm sci fi frontier head over to Rusty Mech Salvage Yards.

28mm security types
howdy, i realize this is not 15mm ,but, just something i was playing around with.
A few 28 mm security types for 5150 NB/ or a henchman group for 28mm blasters and bulkheads or ITEN
very simple easy paintjob( I seem to have no patience for 28-32mm anymore) still have to stain the flesh a little.
I may invest in some clear acrilic bases for these guys
essence weilder for blasters and bulkheads
hello, fellow 15 mm enthusiasts. I have not updated the blog in quite a while. My teenage son finally moved in to live with me, so real life
actually has crowded out many former activities. now that the dust has settled, just wanted to share my first character for Blasters and Bulkheads. I believe it is a Blue Moon betelgeusian with a minimalist conversion of a lightsabre. sorry no advanced OSL painting techniques here, just good old fashioned mettalic paint.( I guess at heart i am a disorganized toy painter, not an artist).
easy conversion, pin vise, add 25 guage medical hypo needle. Here we have the hero using force push to ensure no one else gets a turn driving the big tractor.

Robotic Support Weapon
Howdy,
This is my new squad attachment, heavily armored robotic support weapon. The weapon functions as either area effect
anti- personnell HE weapon, or anti armor rifle. I am thinking of using them for my Squamata Imperialis army,
as it already contains several repurposed Gundam designs. This figure is actually 1/550 scale gundam model.
I forgot the name( Gouf?). Purchased in a 1/550 scale model kit from hobby link japan for about 5$ american.
The kit came with 3 of these figures. it was a strange yellow VTOL model. I have 5 more like this. I envision its use as
a squad attached killer kan/dreadnought. Alien and human for scale comparison. I used red rather than the usual light purple
as my squamata are red and black.

a little slow of late
Hello,
things have been a little slow of late. Recently recovering from a hobby binge shopping spree which took several months. I am now officially out of money for trivial hobby pursuits.
Some of my highlighted purchases:
...21 pounds of lead from GZG, purchased the day before their hiatus
...a table full of CMG buildings painted for me by Matt Sabol of Sabol design studios
...2 complete painted 10 mm ancients armies(caesarian roman and gauls)
... several nice sized orders from Khurasan, Rebel minis, Combat Wombat
... a large sized force of rogue trader era GW orks
... a large bundle of starship interiors from creative gamescapes
on top of all this influx of hobby material....my workspace became cluttered and clogged, granting me the equivalent status of hobby constipation. So now I have to dig out, reorganize, reprioritize my projects, if I ever want to make any progress again.
Recently switched back from cheap craft paints back to my Vallejo, Reaper, and Vallejo Game colors.
the coverage issues were just too frustrating to continue to put up with.
So now I have a few projects to focus on....first up a small sized force of 15mm Quar....next some rebased mechwarrior infantry....and finally to make some progress on a set of skirmish rules stuck in my head....
