The Zhodani Commando: SF3D/Maschinen Krieger: P.K.H. 103 NUTCRACKER

Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

SF3D/Maschinen Krieger: P.K.H. 103 NUTCRACKER

Finished my second P.K.H. 103 Nutcracker a couple days ago and just got around to getting some pictures. This is my favorite vehicle from the genre. It's controlled by AI and is a hover vehicle.

SF3D/Maschinen Krieger was a series created by Kow Yokoyama back in the 80's. I have been a longtime fan. This world has always been first and foremost for the model kit building world. As a war gamer I have always wanted to get this to the table and just a year or two ago slave2gaming (click on this and it links you to his website) started producing these in 15mm metal. He had a first and second wave, and will soon be releasing another wave to add to this wonderful world of Sci-Fi goodness. I am helping to play test a simple set of rules for these and so far they are looking like a good set of crunchy beer and pretzel type game.

Here's a few pictures of my tank.
