I am seriously thinking of going for some 15mm scale sci-fi and Flash Gordon is one of my favorite characters along with the Stainless Steel Rat!<BR/><BR/>Its the total opposite of my current fantasy project (Leviathan) which revolves around REALLY big models!<BR/><BR/>Best of Luck!Leutenant Brittanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168956359674800646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662213888186009192.post-2975753652131393392009-04-06T23:41:00.000+01:002009-04-06T23:41:00.000+01:00Craig,I will say don't be off-put by 15mm.

I have worked in the scale for sometime and once you get used to it, you may find that the painting goes much quicker than you may have initially thought.<BR/><BR/>I second the black undercoat. Also, drybrushing or "wetbrushing" go long ways in this scale. Try to make your color choices have a bit more contrast than you might normally think to use for 28mm (something I learned doing WW2 German camo smocks).<BR/><BR/>As for conversions in 15mm. They are easier than I first thought. There is a lot of forgiveness in this scale. I have converted zombies and even vehicles in 15mm.<BR/><BR/>-EliEli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662213888186009192.post-81717283885620103612009-04-06T21:01:00.000+01:002009-04-06T21:01:00.000+01:00Thanks Tony !

I like the black undercoat idea, I think I'll try it, if I bugger it up I'll dig out some Dettol :)<BR/><BR/>The small scale is going to make it hard to do conversions too I imagine :S<BR/><BR/>C.MadWelshWizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891156628956204776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662213888186009192.post-23595931454328498572009-04-06T20:34:00.000+01:002009-04-06T20:34:00.000+01:00Hi Craig, me again.Are you aware of this Group?htt...Hi Craig, me again.<BR/><BR/>Are you aware of this Group?<BR/><BR/>http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/15mmSciFi/<BR/><BR/>Tony<BR/>http://dampfpanzerwagon.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662213888186009192.post-68932857539061365642009-04-06T20:19:00.000+01:002009-04-06T20:19:00.000+01:00Hi CraigI have no issue with you using this image ...Hi Craig<BR/><BR/>I have no issue with you using this image of my Flash Gordon on a flying jetbike on your Space Adventure Blog, here it is;<BR/>http://dampfpanzerwagon.blogspot.com/2008/11/make-jetbike-by-november-30th.html<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>Tony<BR/><BR/>PS. I've also found 15mm miniatures very difficult to paint (too small). Try bright colours over a black undercoat, with one highlight. Keep the bases simple - I have used 2p and 1p coins, but washers are magnetic, so might have a benefit for storage!<BR/><BR/>TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
