Assault landings....Royal Commonwealth Marines......indeedy


I've made a 1:100 scale sci-fi hovercraft!

From ArmiesArmy blog:
////////////////////////////////////////////
Every Marine needs a good Beach Landing Assault vehicle and here is mine. The light assault hovercraft will come in different varieties due to its modular nature, with both a fully enclosed cabin and a open crewed cabin. Further examples will carry heavier weapon loads, APC's , Power Armor Troops and specialized commando raiders .

Nick Kondratov has done a great job of taking my design and modelling it, all whilst starting his new degree (best of luck Nick:))

I have a bunch of releases to get out of the way over the next month and then Ill have bunch of new items off to printing and casting.

thanks

Keith

Bogatyr - heavy tank of Russian Empire

Just finished Bogatyr heavy tank for Armies Army. Bogatyr is an epic hero from Slavic legends, similar to knight-errant.

The Bogatyr is a heavy armored tank of Russian Empire. It has a crew of 3 and armed with heavy gun located in automated unmanned turret + 2 remote controlled machine guns (same type as on Kurganets-40 MGS). Engine is located at front, crew in middle section and auto-loader in rear section. Like modern Israeli Merkava tank, Bogatyr have armored door at rear part of the hull to load the ammunition. By removing some of the ammo it is possible for Bogatyr to carry up to 5 passengers.

Made Kurganets-40 APC for Armies Army :)

Just made Kurganets-40 APC for Russian Empire faction of Armies Army :) This is 3D model suitable for printing and casting in resin and metal.

In the Future Russian Empire faction took Kurganets-25 vehicle and made heavy modification by adding new armor, weapons and systems. APC and MGS variants have fully automated turrets.

Kurganets-25 is a REAL WORLD ultra modern prototype vehicle that is currently in development by Russian Federation to replace BMP fleet somewhere in 2015-2016 . So the idea with Russian Empire design is not to base their vehicles on real world Soviet designs, but on prototype Russian designs. That way RUSK and Russian Empire vehicles will look Russian but different.

All 4 roofs variants are separate and removable.
APC variant

MGS Variant 

Ambulance/Cargo vehicle variant

Command variant

15mm T1 Cunningham ( available for sale from QRF )

Four variants of 15mm T1 Cunningham are available for sale from Quick Reaction Force store.

Here are 3D renders of all 4 variants. From above to bottom:

T1 (1926) Cunningham (sloped turret, short gun, early hull)

T1E1 (1927) Cunningham (sloped turret, short gun, late hull with catwalks)

T1E2 (1929) Cunningham (cylindrical turret, short gun, late hull with catwalks)

T1E3 (1930) Cunningham (cylindrical turret, long gun, late hull with catwalks) – up gunned T1E2 modification

Please note, that T1 from first picture is a hybrid with the early war hull but late turret with long gun

Swedish S-Tank (The Stridsvagn 103)

I am proud to show you 15mm Swedish S-Tank or The Stridsvagn 103, that I finished at the beginning of December, but because of Christmas and New Year I found time to post it only now :)  

There should be a cupola MG, but I haven't unified this element yet. There are be 15 parts (actually its 14 unique parts, because two headlights are identical, so there should be be 14 parts on mold and 15 parts in a pack (I need to unify Machine Gun))
