Age of Alexander: Alexander himself!

 Another unit done for a friends Macedonians. Alexander, not painted like the later European artists often depicted Alexander with blond hair, likely due to cultural symbolism associating blondness with virtue and heroism, instead with reddish brown hair. Also I have forgone all that purple silliness and went with more natural colors for uniforms.






As always thanks for looking.

Cheers

SF3D/Maschinen Krieger: Sdh.232 Sandstalker

Maschinen Krieger or what was before and also known as SF3D is a science fiction genre model kits that have finally become available in 15mm pewter from Slave2Game (click the link and scroll to bottom and select different armies to see the models available). 

I've been a long time fan of the scratch built kits made by Kow Yokoyama (click here to get background story) back in the 1980's. They even came out with a couple of boardgames that where Panzer Blitz/Panzer Leader style games, both of which I own. 

I always wanted to game with these but the scale in 1/20 and much later 1/35 kits was way to big for what I wanted to do on the gaming board. So I was really happy when Slave2game came along a few years back and has been adding more models since.

Below you will see one of the earlier war grav vehicles called a Sdh.232M Sandstalker. You will notice the WWII'esk style of how the kits where designed way back when they were offered as plastic or resin model kits. 

Here are three Sandstalker vehicles I've painted up. 








As always thanks for looking.
