Back of beyond in 15mm

[sukhe_bator]

This is still going strong, though I've diverted my resources to modelling Back of Beyond conflicts further West - namely the Malleson Mission in Turkmenistan. (see separate MallMiss thread)
Inspired by Ignatieff and the LOEK'ers 'multinational' games I'm expanding my range to include improvised armoured trains like this scratchbuilt Ov and this A class Russian loco heavily converted using Peter Pig Wild West train parts


Turkmen tribesmen (converted from a number of figure sources)

and of course an Anglo-Indian force with Brits in tropical gear. 18pr QFs by Peter Pig with a mix of Eureka and Minifigs gun crew

In the pipeline will be mounted and infantry units of Turkmens, and a range of heavily kitbashed and scratchbuilt locomotives, carriages and wagons, a station, engine shed, water tower and Turkmen tents and dwellings, plus modular rail sections and points converted from 00 gauge to TT.

I just discovered this thread.

That telegraph station would look perfectly at home in the original back of beyond: the Aussie outback.

Just found these posts, love the stuff.  I have seen the 28mm stuff and always wondered about 15mm and here they are stunning! 

Thanks for sharing

WOW Ive just stumbled on this treat and its wonders.

Your miniatures are great but what made me speechless is breathtaking terrain you've made :O


I am tinkering myself with 15mm and TFL game, but havent got any minis done yet..

[Byblos]

Pfiouuuuu ! Superb !

[Metternich]

just the sheer space you have to work with showcases the advantages of 15mm.  Wonderful.

What would be suitable transport for Ungern-Sternberg's forces?
And who makes them in 15mm scale?

   I take my hat off to you sir. Basmachi in 15mm it drove me mad painting those stripes in 28mm and yours look far neater than mine!. Very well done. BUSTED

For the sake of completeness I'm re-posting pics of MallMiss from my other thread...

Sikh company of the 19th Punjabis with MG support with Hampshires and same behind, and 44By RFA

Another 2 companies of 19th Punjabis with British officers

Mounted CO and obligatory RR Armoured Car

28th LC (lancers at this point)


As for US's forces, I read he had ox drawn artillery, so used a Peter Pig Russian limber with oxen drawn from their Colonial ranges... as well as carts

And he would have had access to pack camels... and yaks (in this case more oxen with Milliput backpacks)

Don't forget the locals he recruited as well

Forgot to post a pic of U-S's artillery train
