15mm Sci Fi - Ground Zero Games Tracked Vehicle Pool

Continuing on with the vehicle porn (since I have nothing better to do), may I present my collection of Ground Zero Games 15mm Tracked Vehicles.  

These were the first vehicles I painted during my second foray into 15mm Sci Fi (for a history of my experience, and  how to avoid falling into my delusion, see this post).  I don't know why I waited so many years to photograph these together (the likely answer is that I am quite lazy).

These are all metal models, like all GZG materials.  As per my usual, I did modify some of them to my own taste.  


These were airbrushed with the Vallejo Russian Green Modulation kit.  I then airbrushed on Vallejo Model Air NATO Black and US Light Grey to create a feathered camo pattern.  They were then washed in thinned Polyshades Tudor Minwax.

I wanted a heavier version of the Cougar tank.  So, I took a Skysweeper Anti-Air turret and modified it to fit the heavy plasma gun that comes with the basic Cougar tank.

To modified the basic Cougar turret lightly to accommodate rotary gatling co-axial guns.  You never have enough firepower.

If I were to redo these APCs today I would replace their twin plasma guns with newer GZG remote weapon systems.

Since these are all metal models they are not the easiest to transport to other venues, so they tend to remain in their cases, waiting for the day to roll across the dusty plains of Altair IV.

    1. Sorry for the late reply Zrune. The polyshades Tudor creates the muted tone. I have found it to be the perfect wash for 15mm models.

  3. Are those numbers on the hull/chassis transfers or painted on... they look brilliant!
