Heavies.

Sorry I had a couple of days off!  Actually I am not sorry it was a break I needed after the weather being over 33 oC I have felt like a hostage to the weather for the last 2-3 months. But now the weather has "Broken" back down to normal for tis time of year I feel as if I want to get on with things.

 Lets start with some Si-fi tanks These are heavy laser heavy tanks. Only 2 of which but as I like them I suspect I may get more. Maybe even 1 in 15mm for a few games. After all very little says sci fi like a laser!

At the end of this section I shall show a pic so you may judge scale. I am aware that last time with it missing there was nothing to judge size by.
 2 Twin barrel Heavy tanks. 2 of these I think should be enough at least for now. It is possible I shall change my mind in the future but for now 2 is enough!

For those counting that makes 6 heavy tanks in all. I know they are not massive additions but they should bulk out the force considerably. I do have an infantry platoon alomg with 3 Hover jeeps and 6 additional heavy tanks (Standard turret) so this project is not finished juts yet!

After that I need to get the other force done. And to be honest I am still thing about that!







The last pic shows a size comparison which should allow you to see the magnitude of the heavy tanks to the medium tanks with 6mm infantry on the far right. So we have 2 Heavy tanks , one medium tank and a stand of infantry. As mentioned previously



Aeronef.

Due to bottom/hull detail I need to assemble and paint them on pencils. I mucked up the turrets and Have had to send for some more. With luck they should arrive BY NEXT weekend. 4 teeny tiny turrets to put on ad then the painting can begin. It is a slog but as it was my mistake I have to bite the bullet and get on with it!

In the background is a large British ship (Part painted for Matt) I think it is a Vanguard class Battleship BUT with different turrets. So quite a big ship and yet compared to the German carrier rather small. It will be interesting to position this along side a few other ships and see if it really is as big as I think!

 That's it for today and with luck back to normal in a day or two. All the best Clint

    It certainly is a bit more tolerable at the moment, isn't it. Lovely the work on the tanks, but the Aeronef has really caught my eye.

    As I said last time, I do like your heavy tanks and having six of them should beef up your force no end. I hope to see them action soon.

      Thank you Bryan I would suggest 3-6 months before I can get them in action. As real life does tend to get in the way. Not sorted rules yet but I am thinking probably Future war commander. But that may change.

    Great work on the tanks Clint, the carrier is a beast, look forward to seeing this progress.
    It was certainly wet yesterday in Rochester, with flash flooding bringing the M25 to a grinding halt !

      Thank you Dave. If I had known I would have gone to Rochester, I Nearly did anyway, couple of things I want!

      Re the Aeronef. I have confirmation that Brigade has already sent replacement bits that I mucked up. Therefore I see this being finished in the coming week.

      And the Tanks: more to come but not just yet I suspect! I am in a building terrain mood!

      I would have mentioned that I was going but with my health being so erratic at the moment couldn't guarantee I was going to be there until I arrived ! LOL
      Great news on the bits and look forward to seeing your scenery endeavours

      Thank you Dave. I suspect I will need to go to Rochester Tuesday next week anyway!

      Sorry to hear about your health. All I can say is at least it was not unbearably hot as well!

      Re Aeronef..... Just dropped it so having a break! (Both literally and metaphorically!)

      Thank's Clint, just one of those things we have to muddle on through with, I'm sure Tori will be glad to see you, as the heat hasn't been helping her store.
      OH NO ! is it repairable ?

      Thanks Dave. I do hope so I have walked away from it for the day out of frustration. I shall investigate fully tomorrow.

    I'm glad it's cooled down, but I've had enough of the rain already. Where is that big shiny yellow thing?

      Thank you Ray. I am very happy with the weather as it is at the moment. I do not need the sun for another week. Let's just enjoy what we get for a while.

    Your 6mm tanks are huge! (for 6mm at lest) and do look the part.
    Still don't get aeronof, though it'll no doubt be fun to play.
