Doesn't look too weathered in these shots. Does need some rails like you say. And 6mm? are you mad? Devils work is that.

No, you evil nemesis of Mr Holmes you, I cannot even contemplate 2mm therefore it does not exist.

What it does do is confirm that I was indeed correct and that you are raving mad. 1 out of 2 aint too bad.

All votes gratefully accepted. :-)

Though, at this point, i'd think my chances of winning are zero minus given the quality of the scratch-building work I'm facing.

When I started wargaming I painted and painted 6mm ACW to do Gettysberg but I find now that I am heading toward 50 that I can only see 28mm miniatures on the table! lol  Does this mean when I am 60 I will need to be gaming with 40mm or larger? ;D

I actually am now having to use an optivisor for painting so you are nuts for painting 6mm hehehe....

Hi Darkoath,

already on my final year before hitting the big 5-0, I find the advantage to painting 2mm is you don't worry too much about getting the eyes right on the figures ;-)

Yes, my painting is also travelling up the scales in most cases, moving from 15mm to 25 to 30. I have been eyeing the Irregular 40mm for skirmish...

No 'opitivisor' as yet, just daylight and my 0.5 reading glasses.
