Actually I think they look bloody good. Makes me nostalgic for my 1980s GHQ Soviet MRR. Sold off long, long ago. If only some of the 15mm folk could sculpt vehicles as cleanly and well detailed as their 6mm bretheren.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

You might want to give people time to wake up and get out of bed as your post was logged at 01.30am GMT and then 05.32am. GMT. I would suggest most of Europe was still asleep.... ;)

I agree. Mine are incorporated in the radiation shielding in the loft. I will find them and the rules some day.

Thanks! For anyone who isn’t familiar, the average tank will fit at the edge of your thumb - about an inch without full barrel. They’re SMALL.

It’s actually Terrain Maker by GHQ; they come as raw foam and I made them into the shapes etc.
