Well heres the start of my AVP Project. There will be to start with four factions. Colonial Marines, Aliens, Predators and Corporate Mercenaries. I'll probably start out small with factions for all of them and then expand them a bit at a time. Basing is still to be decided yet. I can't decide on colour but will do it a big batch I think. (note to self right down paint recipes!!!!) Heres the first batch of USCM. These are my first 15's and after being a bit apprehensive of there size i'm really quite chuffed with how nicely they paint up.       |

Very nice! I really like the paint scheme.
What are your plans for the bases?

Really not sure yet. Its going to be simple pva and sand bases but its the colours I can't decide.
At the minute either dark brown dry brushed with a lighter brown but I think this will end upto close to the armour colour.
Grey would be the other colour.
Green I discounted because of the weapons.

You could always do black with a light grey drybrush... works well for spaceships too

That 6mm dropship works well as a smaller craft in 15mm and an excellent paint scheme.
