6mm Americans from Adler

I've had these little guys painted for a while now and they were documented in a previous and now defunct blog. But since I have this blog and I have some pictures of them, I might as well have a post about them here.

These are wonderful scupts. There's a lot of animation and detail in them as you can see in the following pictures. This is the same stand showing the front and back.

The webbing isn't painted on. That's detail that's on the miniature. All I did was highlight it with a bit of colour and use a black wash.

Here's what I mean about the character. Can't you just feel the determination oozing from the
tommy gunner?

Leon at Adler does a nice job of packaging his miniatures into useful groups. I ordered his engineers and they came with some flamethrower crews:

I've based all of these guys for BKC, so I've done some command stands for the CO and HQs. Here's one that features a GHQ Dodge command car as well as three Adler figures. The two on the left are yelling orders over the radio.

 Finally, here's just under half of my Americans.

Some 6mm WW2 German vehicles

A while back I posted these in another blog, but the host for that blog has vanished into the ether, so I'm creating a post in this blog.

First off, here are some command stands I created for Blitzkrieg Commander. The vehicles and figures are GHQ. As has been my experience with GHQ, the figures are nice enough but there's a really limited number of poses and really only one pose that can be used as an officer, so that's why you see a pointing officer figure on each stand.

Here's a Jagdpanzer IV. A nice GHQ model

Here's a couple of Stugs and a Marder. The Marder is either a very early GHQ model or perhaps even a CinC model. It doesn't have nearly the details that the current GHQ models have and it is distinctly smaller too. The Stugs are very definitely GHQ.

Lastly, a comment about these photos. They are definitely pumping up the red and green. In the "flesh" as it were, the orange is a darker orange brown and the flocking is not nearly so neon in colour. Also, the bright bits in the track area do not exist. I think they might be some camera flash.
