Though the modelling is a bit crude (never claimed to be any kind f grand master) it is effective and nicely converts an WW2 American M20 Scout Car into a hovercraft skimmer with just a little green stuff. I managed to get about three of these done, crewing them with Peter Pig 15mm Israeli Vehicle Crew.
We have yet to play in this setting, though I do continue to tinker with it. If anything, it makes for a great side project to work at every once in a while.

How come I havent seen this before - fantastic! And so simple it shames me to think I havent done this before...
ReplyDeleteLol,
ReplyDeleteThese have been here for a bit. I switched to using DAS modelling clay instead of the green stuff. I might try grey stuff, but the green stuff is too hard to work with.
Any hints for my own 15mm mdoern vehicle conversion to grav and GEV style undercarriages?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest. I haven't done too many (five so far). What kind of tips were you looking for.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest one I could say about the process of making the skirts is not to worry to much about it looking pretty. You can assume that the skirts would be getting pretty beat up.Mistakes and open seams can be covered by patchs (field repairs) or hanging kit like tarps, tool boxes, camo netting, etc.
If I could figure out a way to pull it off, I'd mold and cast some generic skirts of various sizes. From there it's just a matter of matching them with appropriate-sized vehicles and usig a little bit of fiddling to get everything to look right. At least in theory.
