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.
