You can have my 6 mm Danes too - more or less the same as the ones you have there. I won't be using them any time soon.  lol

WOW WOW WOW
Very inspirational painting speed. In 6 mm there really is no time from idea to reality.

Super cool miniatures.

I will go and set up a table right away. Search and Destroy or Break out. Probably Break out as it will allow you to field all those cool, crappy tanks.


Cheers
Erik

There is a problem with the Leo... they are not A3... but A1 or A2... the A3 introduced the more boxy turret, the Danish version had also an extended stowage bin at the rear.

They are bought as A3 from Heroics & Ros. But you might be right. I have never been much of a button counter myself.
As long as I can tell the difference between Leo 1 and 2 I am good. Especially at this scale.

To round out the Danish army I still need some MAN trucks and some Land Rovers and/or Mercedes GDs

I think there was a mishap, I bought those as A2 from H&R back in time... and the difference in turret is big:



and I get upset when people brush off 6mm with sentence like...

Just checked the H&R site. They are indeed A2s they don't even do A3s. I remembered wrong who would have thought!?
