Well as many of you will recall I am working on a frozen planet for some 6mm (1/300thscale) Sci Fi fun. Some people will have seen this and switched off and I do not blame them sci fi is not for everyone. For those of you still here I will continue. 
For todays outing I have 4 armoured cars. Two of these will be "SCOUT" transport. (you can see the two scout stands in the last picture but close up they were not in focus. The other two will be dedicated support for my AA trucks! (Not shown today) and Convoy protection. These 4 are GZG figures I picked up some years ago and I may even have the turrets on back to front as I cannot remember what they are supposed to be!
In my last SCW game I was short of trucks. so determined to learn by my mistakes here are 4 flatbed trucks. These are all the figures below are brigade models there are an equal number still to paint but as yet I have not determined my opposing force or what the camo will be like. Anyway these are South African "Hippo" Flat beds and are simple 2 piece castings. Yep 2 more. One with a tanker body and one with a passenger or office body. I got them all in a pack so 1/2 for each side I guess. But I did enjoy the Tanker body so I may get a couple more just for the fun of painting!
And lastly we have the logistics force together along with the 2 scout stands on the right. I will admit I am enjoying this project so I can admit there will be some more along shortly.
A total of 10 6mm vehicles and 4 infantry this time out. And if anyone knows what my opposing force should be feel free to comment. With the first force being CDSU (Chinese Democratic Socialist Union). All the best Clint
MilesR: Yet more for Clint today in the form of additional near future Chinese support units.
Nicely done Clint! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin I have a few more already started for next week.
Deletevery nice Clint, I like the colours, they can be used for this cold planet of yours but just as easily double as urban camo. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sander. Another small batch next week and then a break from 6mm sci fi for a month I think.
DeleteVery cool (and cold-looking) - nice work Clint.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg a few more started for next week then I think a break for a month or so on the 6mm sc fi.
DeleteNice looking vehicles, ready for action oh Hoth :)
ReplyDeleteTHanks Adam. Hoth will not be the planets name. I have not settled on one yet or indeed an opposing force but I can't call it anything that players will recognise at all.
DeleteNice little entry, well painted and ready
ReplyDeleteIan
Thanks Ian it is nice to break from painting Zulus
DeleteAhhh, the joy of small-scale wargaming. These look excellent!
ReplyDeleteThank you Moiterei
DeleteIndeed the joy of small scales has a joy all of its own.
Nice work Clint!
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter, I am enjoying these. They are easy to paint and I don't think anyone else at the club has a collection so I know I am not treading on any toes.
DeleteReally nice. Possibly my next purchase is 6mm sci-fi. stuff like this drives me closer everyday. cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks Kiwi. My first step would be to find a set of rules you like and start from there.
DeleteNice work Clint. The basing certainly gives the icy planet feel.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rod. Once you decide on the type of planet the bases inform you what they should be like. I decided that I did not want to make trees and that I did not want a desert world so Icy was the next thought.
DeleteNice work Clint, they do loo very chilly!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jamie I think we will only play in the summer.
DeleteNice work Clint, dark, cold and brooding! Sounds like Fran!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray, I find Fran as pleasant as a sunny day at the beach. And you just do not get much more pleasurable than that.
DeleteGood fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barks
DeleteNice to see the B Echelon represented. Can't do much without log support.
ReplyDeleteFor your OPFOR, why not aliens? I am sure the Chinese could handle some bugs.
Thanks Michael. I quite like the aliens suggestion I will look into it further. In my head though I am not sure how easy it will be to source them I will need to look around.
DeleteI really like the camouflage and ground work, Clint! They look really nice!
ReplyDeleteMy goal in 15mm, besides the Alien Legion, is to have a high-tech, two mid-tech, and a horde low-tech. That should give more than enough scenario options....and buying options ! ;)
Thank you David. your plan sounds like a lot of work, But it does sound a good plan.
