6mm Logistics (part 1)

Yes there will be more than 1 part. However here are my first transport vehicles. I did want it so that some would be civilian ad others would have been pressed into service. So there really is a variety of colours . Here they are all together. 12 so far all 6mm transport vehicles by Brigade Models  (LINK) They all look like a bunch od sweeties due to my selection of bright colours.
I see the yellow sand ones as being civilian vehicles that have been pressed into service  while the others are through and through civilian vehicles.
 As you can see there are 5 variations. ^ if you include the AA truck shown recently. From left to right.  Pick up, Box van, Tanker lorry, command lorry and Flat bed lorry.


In Commercial service I wanted to keep them as bright as possible., That way they can only be so much of a distraction. I may well change the colours on the next lot to be more muted only time shall tell. For now though it is always good to have a few civilian vehicles on the board even as just acting as some form as cover for troops to hide behind.

 I do have a load more vehicles to do but I feel as if I need a short break from these for a few days or a week, maybe longer we will have to wait and see.

But at least I am plugging away through the heat even if I had to do this at 5am to keep myself cool.
 

Quick Board update: Having laid the boards out full size they are a little small. Not giving up of course but perhaps trying to be a touch more real with the size I have. Stay tuned for the next update.

  1. These look great Clint and will bring the table to life. Provide a bit of cover or nuisance to manoeuvring around them during games.

    1. Thanks Simon, The more "Clutter" the better in wargames. It also allows for missions such as the spy is in the green box van! (There are at this stage NO green vans)

    1. Thanks Dave. While in a wargame these are not vital I personally like them. The numbers of cars we have today have grown in the last 10 years SIGNIFICANTLY!

  4. Great stuff, Clint, and more to come too - marvellous news. Lovely choice of colours and nicely painted too. That’s already quite a vehicle collection you’ve got there, so looking forward to your additions.

    1. Thank you Joe. I agree with you Logistics is a huge help on the modern battlefield. And at this scale It really does need to be shown.
