Scout Platoon (6mm sci fi)

Well as te club have not been back in touch. Well let's be honest 2 members have! And for that they have my gratitude. I am at present unable to share any plans about a show game planned for next year. So instead here is a Scout vehicle Platoon that I finished last night. I do not know who makes them having purchased them at a bring and buy a few years ago. Do not bother telling me what they are or if I have the turrets the wrong way around. While I always appreciate such comments at this stage I an not very concerned. Opps just noticed I need to paint the tyres..... that will be finished before crack of lunch! (Edit: done it now before 8:30 am)

These will go with my CSDU forces. They are not Brigade games models as the rest are but they shall do well enough. Overall nice additions to the force.

Also (and this time by Brigade Models (LINK) an Anti Aircraft Vehicle.  To be honest this came in a pack and I was not totally aware it was even in there until I opened the pack.  This is not a complaint just informing you that I purchased an assortment of Transports (some will be painted as Civilian) a while ago and have just repainted this one. I have one morethast will be painted to fiit in with my other force. (just to provide some balance).

As you can see I have not done a massive amount of painting and am just about to visis a DIY store to get some vital model making supplies. More of that another time.

So enjoy the day and I will try to get more painted as soon as I am able. but for now real life calls.

    1. Thanks Lee. I find Sci fi Camo quite tricky as so many patterns have already been done historically and yet you want something that will look futuristic.

  2. Great looking vehicles Clint, you've got a lot of detail into such a small scale

    1. Thanks Dave I only paint the detail that is already there. I find the scale too small to make much of anything up.

  3. They look great. The purple for the glazing on the AA vehicle isn't something I would have thought of but it works very well.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    1. Thanks Pete. I am using Purple as my reflected sky colour. On a different planet who know for sure what colour we will see the sky. We may be able to work it out for this solar system but who is to say it is the same everywhere? Not me that's for sure

    1. Thank you Joe. As mentioned above it is hard to find a camo idea that has not been used. This Idea came from the BAOR Berlin detachment but clearly in different colours.
