From SylvainR: Tray 01 - 6mm Late WW2 Canadian AT guns and some other minis (100 points)



Happy New year everyone. I'm a little late to the painting party. Family matters kept me busy during the Holidays but I should be able to catch up. 

Yes, I am still plowing through my (never ending) 6mm WW2 project. Let's start with a few "completion" projects, which means miniatures I "needed" to add to collections I previously worked on.

First, some artillery for the Italian army in the desert. The 75/27 are from Heroics&Ros while the 100/17 are from GHQ. All crew members are from Heroics&Ros.

A battery of Italian 75/27.

A battery of Italian 100/17.

Some additional units for the British in the desert: armored cars and AA tanks.

I love the look of the British Rolls-Royce armored car. It evokes the very early stage of the war.

Here is a close-up. Models from GHQ.

Two Crusader AA tanks, armed with 40mm Bofors AA guns. Take that Luftwaffe! Models are from CinC.

Now a big leap towards the end of the war, with 6-pounder anti-tank guns for the Canadian army. Those with yellow coding are for the weapon company, while those with white coding are for regimental/divisional support. All the models, guns and crew, are from Heroics&Ros.

A close-up on the 6-pounder AT guns.

For big cat hunting in the bocage of Normandy, the serious Allied commander demands 17-pounder anti-tank guns. Here are two platoons of this excellent weapon. Guns and crew are from Heroics&Ros, trailers from GHQ.

Points claimed: 

104x 6mm foot figurines at 1/2 point each = 52 points

30x 6mm guns at 1 point each = 30 points (not counting the trailers)

7x 6mm vehicles at 2 point each = 14 points

Total = 96 points

Thanks for reading! 

===============================

Wow that's a ton of micro-wonderfulness mon ami.  Lovely basing on both the Western Desert and NW Europe units.  I agree that the Rolls A/C screams early desert war and that's fine paint job on that little mini.  I am rounding your score up for the trailers and the excellent basing.
