New stuff added.

A pair of I-153 reconnaissance and postal service aircraft and a Mi-4 that is really a Choctaw.

Thanks Helen! They were so much fun to paint. Although these are WW2, I wish that GHQ would make a full line of WW1 aircraft - I would buy them all.

More stuff completed!

A riverine patrol vessel, up-gunned with a T-54 turret


Marine raiding force. These are the Flossacke boats, converted to have Soviet tank riders crewing them.


T-54/28 Bridgelayer. I cut the top of a T-28 off, adding it to the hull of a T-54. Simple!


Troop of Su-100 heavy tank destroyers. No converting.


Logistics trucks. Used the rear bodies from WW2 pack, and added them to spare Zil trucks. Minor conversions. Now I have a cook truck and a command/comms truck.

Neat. What rules set are you thinking of using (sorry if I missed it).

Thanks!

I’m going to use the GHQ WW2 rules, with some modifications for the later stuff. They haven’t revised the Modern rules yet, they’re showing their age.

Some new forces!

M46 howitzers. One stand in action, one bugging out. Two gun battery. I used WW2 crew which are beautiful little sculpts; there’s one loading a shell, one commanding, one sighting, and various other action type poses. Eight crew per gun.

Thanks Helen!

I know not many people dig the small stuff, but I love being able to model in this scale.
