Subject: [SG2] 15mm Gallery

Many moons ago (1991-92) my club ran a large 15mm game at shows in the
UK. Prompted by a couple of e-mails from people who have seen the game
on the club's site (http://www.maidstone-wargamers.org.uk) and wanted to

see more of the hardware, I've posted a gallery page of some of the
models that I built. I ran out of time last night to post them all -
there are more photos to be posted (and even more models that I haven't
photographed yet) so I'll keep let the list know if (when) I post any more.
I'll also try to photograph some of the buildings as well,
although many of these are in a sad state of repair :-(

Tony, do you have any pics of the spaceships from that game?

There seem to be three shuttles/something on very tall flying stands,
and then two on the ground, including a massive black ship. Do you still have
any of these models?

None of the spaceships wre built by me, but I know where most of them came
from:

The three shuttles are Imai Eagles from Space 1999
(http://space1999.tv-toys.co.uk/imai-eagle.htm) painted in not-Space
Marine blue. Reasonably priced back in 1990 when they were still in
production, hideously expensive now - but perfect for 15mm at 1/110th
scale.

The big black ship was made by fellow Brigadier Phil Richards from two
Red October submarine hulls glued side-by-side, with a scratchbuilt
cockpit (mostly transparent and fully detailed inside with crew, etc).

The final vessel is of unknown origin - I believe it's a very old Airfix

kit that Phil had in his youth and resurrected for the game.

I will endeavour to get hold of and photograph examples of these when I can
and add them to the gallery page.
