Small Town 2

I have begun to base some of the houses, more details to the bases will be added, but you can see how they are coming along now.

I have finished some more buildings that are awaiting bases, but these will be different as they will be situated in a town instead of the countryside.

Small Town

Damn! That 6mm bug really bit me.. And that GHQ has a lot of paper buildings for free on their website did'nt help either. On another 6mm site I found the inspiration I needed to give paper buildings a serious go. With a little nice basing I think they will be as good as any 6mm resin building, and cheaper!
I have just started, but I have quite a few more papers to cut and glue!

The bases are 1mm plywood, thanks dad!

WW2 in 6mm

I figured I should do something about my little collection of 6mm models, and after running into another Hordes of The Things WW1 variant I thought 'what the boccage' and based everything. And as no rules survives contact with a wargamer I tweaked these a little with song of and viola; a HoTT WW2 version with tanks that shoot! I also had a small WW1 german force of mostly infantry, so I took them as well, divided the infantry and some guns into germans and british. Yes the models are wrong wrong wrong, but at this size I don't care as long as I can get something that resembles two forces.

Nuff talk, here's the photos, click to enlarge. Not much is painted, and I sure will do something about what is painted!

Ze Germans

The British

I promise to post better pictures with detail of the models when I deem them worthy, until then I have to talk myself out of getting deeper into this 6mm thing.. They truly are addictive! Easy to store, amazing detail, even on the infantry, cute(?), and one can field lots even on a small table! 

The downside is that I have a hard time deciding if a handful (litterary!) of minis is worth what I could get in 20mm? I had this idéa of getting a bunch of 20mm infantry and a few Dapol buildings for a WW2 FoF force, but now I am drawn to a late war 6mm german army instead...

What would you do? :)

So, I managed to get the market piece finished. Enjoy!

So, I had some time over to finish my truck I "found" in my fathers collection of plastic fun.
In reality trucks have one use: transport things. Wargamers evolve this to many more things, this truck will be extracted, escorted, bombed, used as cover etc.

So, here it is, click to enlarge:

Insurgent Force

They are scary, bearded and generally unhappy with the world today. No, I don't think about live rpg people, but my force of insurgents! Some elements of them have been seen before, but never as a group. Click to enlarge.

Family shot, Melvin is glaring at me for not given permission to play with all the toys. 

I had some GW resin bombs I thought would be perfect for hot spots. 

The leaders, tufts to the front!

The heavy section. Lmg's have tufts to the back, rpg's are easier to spot, so no tufts for them.

  

Technicals, I picked up these pickups at a toy department in a supermarket.

The armour. Not sure if the insurgents could handle these, I might need some of Saddam's loyalists.

Mr. VIP and his bulletproof car, or so he hopes.. 

I got some US models left, why not make a small SOF team? You never know when you need them!

Middle eastern buildings 5 & US force

So, after sanding and painting the bases of the buildings, and adding a road section to give more room for the vehicles one can say the village is done. Wee! But I think it lack's all the fancy details like rubble and sign of people living there. This will be added later, as well as all the stuff in the market's empty square.

And I think I'll have to add more large buildings too as the chaps over at Ambush Alley Games are finishing their Fallujah- book now..

I added soft patches under everything to protect the table and while transporting
