Welcome to the 6mm / 2mm Power Armour Sculpting Page

Every range of sci-fi minis needs power armoured troops. So for the 2mm sci-fi range produced by GZG I thought I'd create some miniatures that would be a cross between power armour and small one man walkers. I also felt that these miniatures could be multi scale working just as well for 6mm.

I decided to make three miniatures at the same time with different styles.


Pic 1

I started with a very simple wire armature and attached it to a base to make it easier to work on. I then added a body over the armature..

Next stage was to add detail to the arms and legs. Pic 2 shows the addition of shoulder pads, a front cockpit and leg details.

Next up was to add some weaponry. For the square looking mini I thought I'd go for a simple round barrelled cannon and a flame thrower. For the flame thrower I also added fuel tanks and a feed pipe for the weapon. For the arms I went for a simple rubber covering machinery sheath.

For the second mini I went with a rounded theme, a bit anime looking. Once again I added shoulder pads and weaponry. I went for a twin barreled cannon and a simple round barrel cannon same as the first mini. To finish the mini off I added a backpack.

Because I had done the mini in an anime style the cockpit needed to also be anime in style. So I went for a trio of eye senors for the front.

For the last mini I went for a heavier version for the last of the power armour walkers. Again the process was a simple armature with the main body added first. Cockpit and shoulder pads followed. I did have some trouble with the weapons at first and so ended up with using tubing over the armatures.

The shoulder pads just wern't working for me so I took them off and tried again with magic sculpt instead of the green stuff. I also felt at this point that if this was to be a heavy version of the power armour then it needed to be better armed. So I added a double barrelled cannon to the top of the mini with a piped supply.

Picture 8 shows the minis next to other miniatures to show the size. The first is a 2mm super heavy tank with the second showing a 6mm infantry mini from Ground Zero Games.
So you see these miniatures could easily be used for 2mm and 6mm gaming.

Lastly picture 9 shows an early development shot of all three power armoured walkers next to each other to compare sizes.
