One of my Christmas presents was a dropship for use with 15mm. This is more of a terrain piece than it is a playing piece.

This model is supposed to ferry Mecha into orbit to fight in space. That role doesn't interest me but as a tanker it will be great. This can serve in scenarios are just as a piece of terrain on the table.

I left off the foot and hand holds for the mechs as well as the aerial that was supposed to go on the outside. I want to rig up some different weapon options to slot into that spot.

The model came with stickers. I won't be using those at all. This will get a quick and easy paint job, once the weather is warm enough for me to prime things.

The model is a Ban-Dai model. It went together well. Rhys lost the directions but I was able to figure it out. This is a cheap and easy addition to my 15mm collection and will be a nice change of pace in terms of painting.
Wonderful, I like that.
ReplyDeleteIt's got nice character.
DeleteThat's pretty cool. There's a lot of Bandai stuff in the local shops around here, sometimes ridiculously cheap ($2 a model kind of cheap) in the small scales, and mostly spaceship Yamato type things like this:

If any of this might interest you let me know and I'll see what I can fit in a box.
There are some cool things there. I've heard of the series but have never seen it. The red thing on the bottom left looks like it might work for a drop ship. Do you know what it's called?
DeleteLook forward to seeing it painted up and will make a nice piece for the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. I'm looking forward to working on it. Now I just need it to be warm enough to prime some models.
DeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the fun things with 15mm. Finding things like this to add to the collection.
