Laserburn Vehicles in Resin

Sharing great news from 15mm.co.uk

///////////////////////////////////////////////
Classic Laserburn Vehicles Remastered and in Resin now releasing!

We have a special new and old release today.  Old because it concerns classic Laserburn 15mm scale vehicle models and new because we have withdrawn the original white metal molds and castings and replaced them with high quality resin castings.   Alternative Armies and by extension 15mm.co.uk now has a functioning resin plant which is producing the first two re-mastered Laserburn vehicles as of this week.  We have given ourselves a little round of applause and a pat on the back as its been a wee trek to get to this point but now on with the show!



Here you can see our deep blue tone test castings of the Partizan Wagon, Hover Van and Hover Support Wagon along with a medium lift disc for placing under any of these vehicles.  We use a superior grade of polyurethane resin with a flat grey tone for all production castings.  We will be re-releasing in resin the rest of the re-mastered  Laserburn vehicle range over the coming weeks.  Note there has been a price reduction on these codes due to their new production material and method.

On a different note The Ion Age continues apace with the release of the first of many scupted packs of 15mm Shia Khan Legion infantry.  Yes, you read this correctly Legion infantry which are one of the most requested designs ever on 15mm.co.uk.  So once again it proves that I do listen and react to wargamers suggestions and in this case I kept it a little surprise for The Ion Age.  More information below.

Thanks for Reading!

15mm Inuits - part 1

The fifth time for this month, the giant white bear have attacked the peaceful village, stealing the fish supplies, and no one could stop the beast. The villagers have asked Akikak the brave lone hunter to track and kill the Qupqugiaq, and save the village.   

The figure on the photo above is 15mm Inuit with bow from Mick Yarrow from "Inuit2 Bows" pack

Ze Britisher kommen!

Funny remake of Stare Dad Comics made by my friend Daniel Mitchell. He took this comics and added WW2 flavor to it by changing uniforms and German language.

Giant Crab!

A group of fantasy warriors have encountered a giant crab in remote valley. Swords and spears vs giant claws and rock hard shell! Who shall win?



In this post I want to share a source of 15mm giant pre-painted crabs. Cheap, but great in quality and details. Suitable for gaming Mysterious Island (1961) style games.

 Just look at photo above - the detail level is amazing! I bet they used real crab for mold making :) Please bear in mind that I haven't painted the crab (it was pre-painted), but I washed crab a bit to highlight the details.

If you go to this Ebay shop you will find three types of crabs: Red crab, Crab with long claws and Orange crab. For the photo above I used not-washed and not repainted crabs. So this is what you'll get from parcel.




Glyptodon from Mick Yarrow

Just painted 15mm Glyptodon - the giant armadillo of Pleistocene epoch. Like in my previous post I included Merc from Laserburn range for size comparison. With its rounded, bony shell and squat limbs, Glyptodon superficially resembled turtles, and the much earlier dinosaurian ankylosaur, as an example of the convergent evolution of unrelated lineages into similar forms. 

Glyptodon is 30mm long and he is really nice figure. He is available from Mick Yarrow Miniatures Ice Age range.
