Amazing building and painting. All right all of us 6mm/300/285 gamers want to know where you got it from. I am always on the lookout for new suppliers. Thank you.

It's a Leven shed, plus a small toolshed glued to the back from the shed-set. The 2 containers are from Heroics and Ross, as is the Bedford.

And after the varnish has dried and tufts have been applied.....this part is done :)

Thank you. I have a few of theirs but their range is so extensive I missed that one. I like the combination of various elements to one off the building. I have been looking at something similar myself. I am looking at combining a few buildings with walls, fences, vegetation, etc. and out buildings to create parts of small towns. The idea is a few of these would be combined to represent a built up area such as a town or edge of a larger city. The space between these "blocks" would be the roads. Something similar could be done to bring a group of structures together to form a farm. Thank you again for sharing your excellent work and ideas. It helps keep ones thinking juices flowing.

Thx MM, I picked up the same idea from some excellent forumsposts years ago, but I was already on my way out 6mm wise. For the farm, dirt roads make it easy to tie it all together, toad wise, I'm not 100% sure yet but I will find a way. Glad you enjoy it and find it motivational :)

Beautiful work. That Bedford in a building brings back a few BAOR memories.

That is exceptional work. I keep having to do double-takes to remind myself they’re 6mm.

I especially like the excavator from a page or two back - my dad spent most of his career operating the 1-1 scale versions.

Fantastic work! If you end up playing in another scale, I'll put all that 6mm terrain to good use if you send it my way ;)
