I have been working on 6mm German and American forces for the past week or so. There was a lull with all the snow and the shoveling etc. I started on the Germans just today. I've already finished the tanks. Camouflage and all. I even spent some time retouching the camo pattern because they didn't seem quite right. I have also started in on the German infantry. I finished 3 8cm mortars and crews and 2 panzerschreck teams. Total time painting was probably less than 3 hours. That includes flocking the tank bases as well as painting up 3 M3 Stuarts. 6mm is kinda cool that way! Should work great on my 2X2 board. |

It is amazing how quickly you can get through 6mm when you get into the groove. I find that post-1600 stuff especially lends itself to speed, particularly when there are no cross-belts or hat lace to do. |

It often takes me longer to base them than to paint them. |

it is easier to field an army in 6mm. any other scale you can do only part of the battles. |
