Title: 3mm Ogre Miniatures: New Project
Post by: Macunaima on 07 December 2014, 03:58:23 PM
Well, here's the start of my new project: porting Ogre Miniatures to 3mm scale:

Just as an aside, that tank company in the second picture cost me 3.00 USD: less than half the cost of ONE official SJG 6mm scale casting...

Great work.   I've wanted to do this for a while, but have never found the time, and know I don't have the skill or patience to do the conversion/scratch building at that scale.   Your Howitzer and OGRE are awesome.

Really nice stuff  8) 8) 8)
The OGRE in particular.

The scratch building is very minimal.

The howitzer uses the alternative barrel from O8's Mobile Howitzer and the rest is a thumbtack and some plasticard.

The Ogre uses a Marhaf Legion tank base from Plasmblast Games. The rest is really some minimal builds with pins and plasticard.
