Get them done!

Two posts in one day? I guess it's because I hit 11000 a while ago and feel I have to give something extra!

This will be the big project for a time, while I’ll be putting some effort to my 1/72 ww2 Germans these boys in red will be taking up my main painting time for a while. Why? Because I’ll try to get some people to paint their napoleonics too and get them into a game!

I traded some Hordes minis for the British centre units with greyer basing, while they are painted quite similar to mine, the bases won’t do, I’ll probably add some green grass to them and paint the edge to match mine. But I think I’ll keep the dead grass, and have it on my remaining centre companies too, as it is easier to distinguish from the flankers then.

The small unit of 95-th got some additions with regular red jackets, but hey, in war one don’t complain about colors as long as you don’t look like them frogs!

The two boxes are not full, as the new centre unit come from them, but on the other hand there is a box of British Hussar on the way not on the picture.

More mini tanks

This weekend I finished the rest of my meager 6mm collection. I might add some infantry someday, but for now, I think I'll focus my ww2 stuff to 1/72 scale. Not that I have any of those inbound, oh no...
Anyway, I think these will be enough for a small firefight someday, it is fun with those small side projects.

Shermans and Stuarts

Tigers, Panzer IVh and Sd.Kfz 222

Russian special troopers and more trees!

A while ago I bought some of Under Fires modern Russians as a sof team for FoF, finally got them finished after having them standing on sanded bases forever. Hope you like them, I do!

I also made some more trees, these are the same type, but bigger, as I made for my 6mm boccage gameboard. They are also for sale here.

Trees

I made some trees, and these are for sale by "tradera" Swedens own E-bay: Link

I plan to make more of these, and I think I can make them even better. I'll post here when they are up for sale.
If you happen to live outside Sweden and want some, just comment here and we will work something out. :)

Tiny boccage table finished

Now the table is finished, just painted the edges black so they won't stick out so much.
The trees are handmade from wire, and I have soaked all the foilage with a watered down white glue after the initial gluing so it will stick, and it's much harder too.

I really like how this came out, and for a smaller Song of X or FoF game the size is quite good. The paper houses I made earlier can be used here too.

The different tiles match up against each other, so the layout can be varied from time to time.

 

 A Tiger on a hill, overlooking the fields and spotting the Shermans soon be aware of its precence!

 Shermans rolling down a dusty road, is there something ahead? Oh, the tension of a tank!

Tiny boccage table

So, having decided that my tiny town need a countryside, I cut some masonite in 20x20 cm squares and glued a 5mm styrofoam sheet over it so I could cut out some depressions, ditches and add a river tile or two later on. I added a small hill to. I splashed over some filler where I had cut the tiles, and when it dried, white glue/water + sand.

 Melvin loves unpainted styrofoam, I think he ate some cut out pieces...

Painted with some brown, grey + desert yellow highlight on the roads. Painted styrofoam is no good to eat apparently.

How to hold and behold?

Just two pics on how I hold the minis I paint, first plastic shot glasses for 20-28mm minis:

And screws for the really tiny stuff:

Blue-tac/sticky clay/whatever is really helpful if you aren't that good at balancing stuff.
