6mm - Nato and US-groundforces

 Finally my NATO/US-groundforces are on its

way to be completed.When I bought most of

my collection of 6mm-models/figures the Soviets

were way to many in numbers to be challanged

by my then so little counterforce.

I have invested in artillery and logistics this time.

My friend Michael living in Barnsley, UK helped me

also this time and I must say I am very greatful.

Thankyou Michael! :)

Pine-trees 1/285

To make a table in the scale 1/285 with a "true"

Scandinavian look, you need pine-trees!

The easy way would be to buy them from the

retailer but to be creative is essential in my hobby.

Because we are in the middle of moving a lot of

things in our house will be donated or thrown away

and one plastic Christmas tree didn´t make it to

our new home. I plan to use the plastic-branches to my

own pine-trees in 6mm-scale. My first very simple

test was to cut them and see if they fit. One and one

they look very simple but "en masse" the will look

good. I plan to paint them with some kind of highlight

to get a "deeper" and more living shade.

I will mount the trees to both bases with a rocky look

and in group. The bases will be cut in rounded squares

probably in sinze 60x60mm. This report is the first of

two.

Red storm is rising 2

To make a diverse soviet-invasion-force I decided to
upgrade and complete my collection of land-forces.
I bought all the models from my friend Michael from
Barnsley in the UK and he guided me all the way to
assemble the small parts and bits.

I bought this:

Gaz 69 jeep  (4 pcs)
UAZ 469 jeep (2 pcs)
URAL truck (6 pcs)

ZU-23-2 AA (6 pcs)
BM-21 rocket (3 pcs)
9K52 Luna Frog-7 rocket (6 pcs)
2S3 Akatsiya 152 SPG (8 pcs)
2S1 Gvozdika  122 SPG (8 pcs)
SA-8 Gecko AA (3 pcs)
SA-13 Gopher AA (6 pcs)

SNAR 10M1 Radar 

T62 with mineroller (4 pcs)
Brem 80U engineering vehicle (4 pcs)

I also got 2 extra MT-LB-chassis I am not sure if
I will decide to use these as Storm(antitank), Gophers(AA)
or maybe as a mobile rocketlauncher similar to BM-21!?

All the models are beautiful detailed and with some
paint they will come alive. 

To base them will probably be fitted with rectangular
plates that will be almost as big as the model because
I am not so fond of the square-shape 30x30mm that is
the most common one.

All the models are made in the scale 1/285 (6mm) and
will be a part of my project Cold war-Sweden anno 1985.

IG - snipers and cards

Busy times but I found some really nice
snipers to my Imperial guard force.
The cloaks looks very good when painted,
so I couldn´t resist this buy.
I also purchased some gaming-cards that
will be used when playing the game
WH40k.
