15mm Sci Fi Mechanised Platoon [1]



The GZG Gauntlet III Hover APC's arrived in the post a couple of days ago but I've been so busy that I haven't had time until today to open the parcel up and take a look. The model comes as a four part casting which fits together in a simple layered fashion from the hover skirt, to the hull, the top deck and the gun mounting. The command version of the model has a different top deck and comes with a couple of antenna arrays. The platoon will consist of three APC's and one Command APC.


There's minimal flash and hardly any casting lines to speak of so it should be easy to glue them together, adding some stowage to make them look suitably battle worn. They also match up really well with the Brigade Models Warlock Support Tank model that I'll be using as the medium tank in this army, with the much larger Sohei hover tank model as the heavy armour. I'm planning to assemble these lovely APC's tomorrow.
