ECW 2mm
« on: August 13, 2018, 11:25:57 AM »
Hi all,
Over the last month I've been working on extending my 2mm Siege of Portsmouth 1642 game. First up is a scratchbuilt town representing Cosham. Made from insulation foam and a sneaky paint job.

Cosham will be one of several major additions to the participation game that will be on at Partizan this weekend. More to follow!

I will have to admit, 2mm minis are WAY too small for me, but WOW - that's impressive!!!!

Will be interested to see that at Partizan, it’s looking rather fine.

Very nice. Reminds me of some work Caleb did on the Old Terragenesis Forum. Would love to see a stand of Miniatures that belongs with this.

Thank you all for your nice comments. Taking pictures of 2mm troops is trickier and needs better light than today! However I've tried to take a few of the Parliamentary forces gathering on Portsdown Hill.

The next ones are of my Portchester Castle scratch build. It's a bit of a fudge in places and lacks a church in the grounds that I will try to add before Sunday. It uses Brigade Models Roman walls for the basic Roman walls of the original shore fort, with additional bastions and inner bailey and keep added.

I've oft thought to explore this scale but I'd jump in if someone had a good range (for a period of interest) in 4 mm.  And, yes, I know there are 3 mm out there and, of course, there is 5/6 mm, too.  And thus likely no one will make the 4 mm cut. 

Quite an impressive layout, especially in this scale.

Everything looks wonderful.
I wish I could paint 2mm as well as you do.
