The best things in life are actually really expensive. Success is just failure that hasn’t happened yet. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it. Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines. Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe. I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally. I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is you’re stupid and make bad decisions. Everyone has a purpose in life. Perhaps yours is watching television. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. I’ve developed a new philosophy. I only dread one day at a time.

3D Modelling Roundup

I enjoy modelling buildings and vehicles in Blender for use with 15mm wargames.

My “current” project is a series of vehicles based on the British CVR(T) family. They’ll be pressed into service as last-minute production vehicles to serve alongside my PAU infantry in a far flung colonial war, but more on that later.

Right now, I have three variants done. First is the light tank:

Next is the APC hull:

Based on the APC is the FV102 Striker equivalent, with a rack of ATGMs:

Planned or in the works are the following variants:
Command post (with tent!)
Recovery
Ambulance
Engineering
RADAR
SAM
SPG

Speaking of variants, it occurs to me that I never revealed any of my not-BMD models aside from the base vehicle. I’ve actually printed a bunch of these, the APC and SPG/mortar launcher variants respectively:

To provide heavy support for the lightly armoured infantry carriers, I’m working on a sci-fi’d T-90 sort-of-thing:

A tracked drone and tankette, for whom I’m not sure:

Blowers are fun too!

Last- but not least- is a work in progress VTOL to provide air mobility to my PAU infantry. I’ve taken inspiration from the old GZG model, AVs from Cyberpunk 2020, and the UH-1 Huey (of course!):
