Photos of Painted 15mm Hammers Slammers

Hi All,

I have finished painting the first squad of open-helm 15mm Hammers
Slammers. I really like these figures and after 24 years painting 25mm and
more recently 6mm it was a refreshing change.

The level of detail on these is great and I was tempted to add different
coloured ammo pouches and webbing, but this would have made them look a little
easy to spot.

I did paint the battle armour and helmets grey which allowed them to stand out
a little more. I think one colour all over would hide a lot of
the detail, at least that's my rationale!   I also added a tiny red
detail to the retracted visors which stick out under the helmets.

I would go as far as saying that I like the "squat" look of these more in 15mm
than the 25mm models. They are also much easier to fast paint and I finished
the squad in just a couple of sittings.

The light conditions were not brilliant for photography tonight (major storm
here in Sussex) so the camo pattern is not showing very well. I also hit a
problem with GW green ink, which did not agree with my paint on Vallejo matte
varnish and resulted in some smearing.

The vehicles in the photos were purchased pre-painted from the Old Crow
stand at the Bifrost show. I believe the painter has some more for sale on
ebay at the moment and he has done an excellent job on them. If you're out
there please email your name and I will post a credit on the photo
description!

For those purves among us, I have also added a photo of the GZG Gentleman's
Collectables also photographed at the show.

15mm is now my choice for SCI-FI, next on the painting desk 15mm
Phalons!
