I have decided to do an Eastern front project to be based around some ruined buildings i have been putting together. These came about as the result of doing some for a Warhammer Epic 40k project one of the lads at the club wanted to do for a display game at one of the shows in Scotland late last year. It didn't take too much effort to make ruined versions. As for figures the only 6mm i can find are from Adler and Irregular so i'm going for a mix of Adler infantry and Irregular Tanks, Artillery and aircraft. If anyone knows of other ranges please feel free to let me know. Pics of the first 8 buildings can be seen on my sons Blog here- Link |

Good grief, please tell me you cut those windows out on a laser cutter! If not, you must be a jeweler. Very fine work. GHQ is the biggest seller of high quality 6mm armor in the U.S. Its called Micro Armor here. |

There is the Heroics & Ros range and is a lot cheaper than GHQ in the UK.

With the Adler figures you can get the selection that you require. |

Nice. By the way, Baccus are going to start doing some 6mm WWII this year, might be worth asking them what period / front they will be starting with. |

Thanks for the figure recommendations guys. How on earth did i not think of GHQ and H&R? I did look at Baccus and was surprised the don't do WW2 so its good to know they are planning a range. Yes Warhawkwind they are Laser cut. No way do i have the patience to do that by hand! |

The chaps from Baccus told me at Salute that WW2 is coming soon (next) as they're about to switch from Great War. Fingers crossed. |

That's good news. At least their website is decent! |

Hi Mick Great buildings! I'd prob go Adler for figures (1/285), & Heroics & Ros for vehicles (1/300)… slight scale difference, but I reckon it looks ok. Check Bruce Weigle games for 1/300 figures (Heroics & Ros) with smaller scale terrain: link His games show mixed scales can look amazing. Cheers Seb |

Wow. That is inspiring work. Now I have to look into laser cutting. |

Do note that GHQ can be a bit out of scale with some of the other ranges. They are very lovely though. |

GHQ goes wonderfully with the Adlers. I mix in H&R and Armstrong (now with H&R) when I need something that GHQ don't do. |

All great suggestions. Mixing seems to be the way to go. Some great models available in this scale. Thats a great link Seb, fantastic looking terrain. |
has a painting service do Space Marines.
