the VERY very first of my next force!

These are for "Gruntz" 15mm sci fi. They are on the 4th repaint that I know of one by the person I got them from on e Bay and 3 by me. I am finally happy with they way they look.

Top photo a little blurry and the "chassis" is the wrong way around! Now these figures I am not sure are still available! They were originally from Brigade {LINK} Models. They used to be part of the 15mm Cimexian Bugs range which is not part of the web site in 15mm but is in 6mm. So if you want any good luck and you may need to speak to the Brigade guys at a show.

I got these on eBay some years ago when I was looking at doing a game set inside the human body in a "Fantastic Voyage" kind of way. But waste not want not and they can be used as part of my new force of Alien Gruntz!  (hence at least 1 of the re-paints!)

There shall be more to follow but at present they are all I have finished. I have a variety of models so expect some more soon.

Until then take care and have fun. All the best Clint

    1. Thank you Joe. I know exactly what they are but they are no longer easily available. I am sure you appreciate how hard it is to find bio-engineered looking 15mm vehicles.

    1. Thank you Ray. It is a bioengineered alien "tank" although saying it is a tank is like saying a Lobster is a fish!

    2. Thank you Ray. I guess for some it is a reach of imagination.

    1. Thanks Simon. I think they have been discontinued as no one (except me) seems to like them . But I could so easily be wrong.
