Painting the West Riding Yeomanry in 15mm

When embarking on the 15mm Crucible forces, I wanted to avoid replication of forces I had already produced in 28mm. At least that was the plan! I’d already built lots of Slammers in 28mm and avoided them in 15mm until the new Ainsty  vehicles came along. And now I was in the same position with the West Riding Yeomanry: a combination of new vehicle sculpts in 15mm (with the same available in 6mm) from Brigade Models and the Denizen hard suited marines now being available in both 15mm from Eureka  and 6mm from Darkest Star was too good to miss! Cleaning and Assembly The resin AFV hulls were cleaned with acetone and the metal components - both Brigade’s vehicle turrets and the Eureka infantry - needed very little clean up. The turrets were a tight fit and needed a little scrape with a scalpel to get them to spin but - that aside - they all went together very well. A few tiny resin pin holes were visible but -by the time a coat of paint or two had gone on - they were all but invisible and I ignored them. Hatches could be positioned open or closed over the driver and for the turret on the Montsabert. I did some small conversions, adding the secondary gatling as a main turret weapon and using the supplied main short barreled weapons as lasers in a fabricated turret for the air defence variant,based on the Command variant of the APC. I also cut a figure in half to have a commander out of the turret.
