Upcoming 3mm Releases

I've had most of these done for years, but was only recently galvanized to start uploading them.  On a side note, since CGTrader refuses to honor the notice and reply processes of the DMCA, no one's heard of MiniHoarder, and Shapeways has become almost openly hostile to its shop owners, I've started moving all my designs to Cults3D, which can be found here:  https://cults3d.com/en/users/javelin98/3d-models

Here are some of the 3mm-scale combat teams that will soon be available through Cults:

6mm sci-fi Merkava tanks and Namer IFVs

My very first exposure to a micro-armor style game was around 1981, when I was 8 years old and went with my sister to Gamefaire, Spokane's original game con held at Spokane Falls Community College.  In one corner, a group of guys was preparing to play a home-brew set of 6mm sci-fi rules using Merkavas with the tracks removed;  they were, in fact, anti-grav Merkavas!  They let me take control of a single APC and infantry squad, which I promptly lost through having an 8-year-old's level of tactical understanding.  I loved it and was hooked on sci-fi minis for life.  

In honor of that first game, I decided to make my own sci-fi Israeli armor.  Here we have both GEV and anti-grav versions of both the Merkava tank and Namer infantry fighting vehicle.  First up are the GEV vehicles.

15mm Rhinox Family of Armored Vehicles, Part 2

Here are some pics of the wheeled and anti-grav drive types.  I really wanted to make a 6x6 version, but the side doors-slash-sponson mounting points made that impossible.









Finally, there are several options for dozer blades, brush cutters, etc.  Two of the blades have cutouts for the siege cannon and antitank gun, while the third is just a solid blade.


As a final note, the side weapons sponsons (available in heavy machine gun, laser cannon, and flamer options) come in both "straight-ahead" and "canted-outward" varieties.
