Logistics on a Cold Planet (ClintB) (23 points)

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.

    very 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!

      Thank you Sander. Another small batch next week and then a break from 6mm sci fi for a month I think.

      THanks 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.

      Indeed the joy of small scales has a joy all of its own.

      Thank 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.

      Thanks Kiwi. My first step would be to find a set of rules you like and start from there.

    Nice work Clint. The basing certainly gives the icy planet feel.

      Thank 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.

      Thank 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.

    Nice to see the B Echelon represented. Can't do much without log support.
    For 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.

    I really like the camouflage and ground work, Clint! They look really nice!
    My 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 ! ;)
