SHADO UFO. NEW PICS!!! ADDED 6/11
« on: May 27, 2025, 09:20:15 PM »
 back in my UFO game, the grandkids live it.

I have the space game in 6mm, 3 UFOs, 3 interceptor and Sky 1.

I have 6mm ground attack setup, 3 UFO, alien and SHADO TEAMS.  HAVE 3D FILES FOR MOBILES.  DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE.

HAVE 3 1/56 MOBILES, 3 INTERCEPTORS AND ALL SORTS OF TROOPS.  NEED A 1/56 UFO (probably have to make)

And my LT Ellis and Colonel Lake are little hotties!

I actually scratchbuilt 3 ufos in 6mm for 6mm ground game. 

Not bad.  But gotta add those guitar Pic fins!   That's unenviable!

Cutting out sixteen for each....  :(

We are gonna test play rules for UFO while tailgating in Panthers arena tomorrow.  (Could I get beaten up for gaming at a hockey game?? :0 Tachuk will protect us!)

Mainly cause we will be there all day, and also my gaming buddies live down there and are going to Cats game too.

The catch:  it's not all my cool 28mm UFO stuff.  I built up a UFO in 6mm too.  Great interceptors and UFOs for the space game,
 And I scratchbuilt some mobiles, UFOs and troop bases for earth portion of game.

So, we gonna do the moon space interception, sky1 interception, then end with SHADO trying to hunt down aliens landing on Earth.   That'll give us all the facets of "UFO" for rules test purposes.

Here's scratchbuilt mobiles (NOTE: YHEY LOOKED GREAT, THEN I PANTED THEM WITH CGEAP ACRYLLIC, AND THEY WARPED AND MELTED!!!  >:(   what the duece?)

These are primitive, but ok for test gaming in 6mm.   Easter egg over 28mm plastic round base, sticks for the fins.  (Still haven't cut out the little guitar pick shaped fins, what a hassle that'll be)

I know, it's not clear.   Bet no one at Stanley Cup will notice, save fir my two geeky friends. :)

I'm gonna try to get Sgt Guiness out there.  He's a great hockey player, and lives maybe 20 mins from stadium.  Now, whether he risks his street cred  by gaming at a hockey game???

BTW, yall see "Florida Hockey"?  Those Canucks have, lol.  We play an old fashioned brand of hockey in South Florida....game 3 was the closest to "Rollerbalk" I've ever seen!  When Bennet took out four Oilers, setting up that break away...I was thinking "Moonpie!"

I have absolutely no idea what you just said, but I share your love for UFO, and this is the first time I've seen it in 6mm, so: awesome work!  8)

The guitar picks are mandatory, obviously, but the dome being silver can be forgiven. If you recall, the alien supply/fuel ships were actually a solid silver in the show, so there's precedent ;)

Keep it up!  :)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Well I picked up on the original (and best) Rollerball reference but the rest was a foreign language to me as well!  lol

But very nice UFO figures and shame about the mobiles, never seen anything like that happen before.

Well, trial games were great.  The space interceptor part (using werelord rules) was slow, tedious, and kinda unpopular.  Gotta work on em.   The rest, great.

Unfortunately, the night sucked.  So bad, I am praying for the apocalypse!.  There is no future!  I envy the dead! 


There is only the trials of the damned for me.   

Why did they do it? Why?  Why?  It's not fair!  What have I done to be forsaken so?

Just to continue the Rollerball theme: "This wasn't meant to be a game! Never!"
