10 mm Weird WWII WIP Pendraken's "Mecha"

Pendraken's sci-fi range has Marines in battle armour which I'm using as Uber Soldaten, but it also has a walker (SF9) that I painted as a mecha for my Weird WWII project. I have only added a machine gun that can be seen next to the green windows.

El rango de ci-fi de Pendraken tiene unos marines en armadura pesada que estoy usando como super soldados, pero también tiene un walker (SF9) que he pintado como un mech para mi proyecto de Segunda Guerra Mundial Alternativa. El modelo es tal cual se ve, tan sólo le he añadido una ametralladora junto a las ventanas verdes.



When I was looking for some decals for my panzer mech I found some very old Tamiya 1/35 decals for German helmets and I decided to use them as shoulder pads for my Uber Soldaten. I think they turned out pretty neat.

Cuando estaba buscando calcas para el panzer mech descubrí unas calcas de Tamiya 1/35 de cascos alemanes y las usé como hombreras de los super soldados. Creo que han quedado bastante bien.



More to come: Allied in Powered Armour, German zombies, Red Skull, etc.

Cosas por hacer: Aliados en armadura pesada, zombies alemanes, cráneo rojo, etc.

10 mm Weird WWII (was Wolfenstein) WIP

I decided to expand Wolfenstein to Weird WWII and here there are some good guys and some Uber Soldaten that can either be used as heavy stormtroopers in Weird WWII or as bosses in Wolfenstein.

Me he decidido a expandir Wolfenstein para usarlo en Segunda Guerra Mundial alternativa y aquí tienen a algunos de los buenos y también unos super soldados que pueden usarse como tropas de asalto pesadas o como los jefes de Wolfenstein.

All the miniatures are from Pendraken. Pictures are clickable.

Return to Wolfenstein WIP. (edited).

Do you remember that great PC game called Wolfenstein 3D? It was one of my favourite games.

Se acuerdan de ese gran juego que se llamaba Wolfenstein 3D. Fue uno de mis juegos favoritos durante mucho tiempo.



Pendraken's 10 mm dungeon is meant for Fantasy settings but when I painted it in grey it reminded me the walls of the first Wolfenstein.


Here there are the first Nazi Germans and soon will follow powered armour troops, mechs, zombies and of course the good guys!
All the pics are clickable.

El dungeon de Pendraken en 10 mm está pensado para Fantasy pero cuando lo pinté de gris me recordó a aquel maravilloso juego para PC que era la primera versión de Wolfenstein.

Aquí están los primeros Nazis y pronto seguirán tropas acorazadas, mechas, zombis ¡y por supuesto los buenos!
Pincha en las fotos para verlas más grandes.



The guard dogs are wolves from Warmaster. They are a bit big sized but they will do.

Los perros guardianes son los lobos de Warmaster. Son un poco grandes pero servirán.



A close up of the bad guys.

The converted werewolf is unfinished but here we can see it learning to salute properly, although the stupid beast is still rising the wrong paw!

La conversión de hombre lobo está sin acabar pero aquí lo podemos ver aprendiendo a saludar correctamente, aunque la estúpida bestia todavía sigue levantando la pata equivocada.



BTW, can anyone tell me how to make 10 mm petrol barrels or where to buy them? TIA.


Por cierto, ¿alguien puede decirme cómo hacer o dónde comprar bidones de gasolina en 10 mm?
