So Im working on a new faction to go up against the Drudge The infantry are kind of based on the red army from "Gone with the Blastwave" But the main fire power for the army will come from the sisters Meet "Lack of Interest", "Seven Inch Split" and "Stapled Shut" The names are the ones the Onboard AI prefers to be known by. The sisters are all scratch built from electrical junk salvaged from the scrap bins at work and bits and bobs found here and there. Im still working on the infantry models as They are based on the starwars Risk game Clone troopers, it takes me a while to sculpt up the great coats. As always Let me know what you think.

Hi guys, thanks for the feed back, because Im fairly rubbish with putty it takes just over an hour to do a squad (7 guys) although after some practice this is coming down.
There are some support weapons (Mortars and MMGs) waiting to cure now before painting.

Thanks for the feedback guys, here are the group shots Here is the commander (bottom left) and his personal transport with a squad and support machine guns Mortars and light gun drones cover the advance with "Stapled Shut" providing over watch. With a squad for close support "lack of Interest" and "seven Inch Split" advance around the flank. Hope you like these as always comments, questions etc always welcome

Very nice! I like the post apocalyptic look of the terrain & figures.

I know it has been a while since these were originally posted but I am curious as to what you used to make the drones and do you have some better pictures of those you could post. I think it is because of the quad weapons mounted on them but they remind me of the drones on the movie "Oblivion". Great job on these models. I love seeing peoples scratch built stuff.

Hi guys Sorry for not responding earlier, glad you like the stuff. echo5hotel here is a close up of the 3 types of drone I built although I didn't end up using any of them in the army in the end. the drone on the left is actually a single piece except for the base and pin that holds it u for which I drilled a hole. What it is is a "Racking stud". used for mounting lightweight IT equipment into server racks. The 3 in front and the one on the far right use part of the same glued onto a mountable cable tie holder. The middle one, sorry I have no idea what the main body components were that I used to make this, I think they were another type of locking stud for server racking (you may see a theme here) At the back of the middle one I used an external tooth washer to give an illusion of propulsion energy. The weapons are various types of electrical pin connector some that look like small missiles some more like gun barrels. Sorry I cant give you more detailed ideas of what the bits are or where to get them as I salvaged pretty much all this stuff from the electrical waste bins where I work. And as they did really work out with the armies aesthetic in the end I didn't pursue the idea.

Cool, thanks for the reply. I thought some of the parts looked familiar as I used to be a UNIX server engineer. Keep up the awesome work!
