Those scratch builds are fantastic, what did you use to make them?

Hi guys,

For the Vehicles I used styrene and a resin block to shape out the design then cast all that in resin.
Same procedure for the Bike/FAV.

The "master" was built all in styrene though. I tried to get a good photo's of the "master" but an all white model just doesn't come out on my aging camera... lol

Just a note on the bike/FAV.

My initial thoughts were to make a GRAV bike but decided to "up armor" it. therefore I ended up with a 1 seat closed cockpit. I do have some ideas for adding extra weapons like missiles, gatling(SP) guns etc...

For some extra Force XXI vehicles just check out my Utube channel. I have 2 short vids of some of them. (mostly the popular kid items lol)

1 Rebel Mini's Earth Force Marines.
2. Force XXI grav Vehicles
3. Epic 40 plastic robots

I do have the Em4 walkers painted up for this company. I forgot to place them for the photo's.

As I go through my forces I find the 1 or 2 vehicles that saw combat when my dog was a puppy. She sure liked helping me to paint... with her teeth :x

Here is a straight leg Company I am converting over to Mechanized Light Infantry. I still need to provide heavy tanks and Recon elements. I may cast up a couple more troop VTOL's for kicks.

Which VTOL's? I used to produce the 2 Force XXI ones. (the green painted ones)
The other 2 ( grey and tan) I bought at the toy section in Wal Mart. Matchbox and one off brand name majios or something like that.

Yeah The ones on the left are the gunships and the other 2 are squad Plus VTOL.
I say Squad plus asn my original idea was for them to be like a Chinook. The body came out a little to short for 3 full squads but it does look like it could seat 2 10 man squads easy enough or 1-2 small vehicles.


**note**
with out detail I am under financial restrictions and can't reopen Force XXI for sales at this time.
Maybe in the future ( far or near who knows but the entities that put me on restrictions ) I might be able to.
It basically depends on my disabilities...

yeah, when it's all said and done I'll have 3 to watch out for. and each one will effect the other 2 so it's still a nightmare...
but if the out come is awesome ( like I hope it will) things will work out.

Back to the topic lol

I have one more BMP tank Company but no infantry.
I plan to purchase Khurasan Miniatures Neo-Arab figs to round out the infantry.

I'm adding to my terrain collection. I'm building stone wall sections and then I might build a 2'x2' board for small engagements.
