The soviets are very nice. That should make for a nice army for FoW!

The bright colours on the spaceships look great. Civilian spaceships, hadn't seen that one coming for this round, great idea! 8)

Very different but nice entries. Are the soviets 6mm or bigger?

Excellent cargo ships!

Judging by the bases, 15mm Flames of War range

Where else would soviet infantry go up against space ships.

I love this comp!

When I was looking for some civilians down in my dungeon I found these models still in their box  :D.

'ma colleague Mr. Raz is correct, they do indeed make a nice FoW army (that is, those that are painted! Painting 81 infantry bases + everything else is dull).

Yerp they are 15mm.

Next round, 2mm!

That's exactly what I was thinking, this entry really caught me by surprise and I'm afraid that that's exactly the doom of those otherwise very nicely painted and based Soviets, the flag is excellent as well!

Yes, I must say my efforts rather pale in comparison to your excellent ships Sgtlooney, I doff my hat to you.

I got my entry in at 11:56 on Saturday, I was in rather a rush to get *something* in!

Both excellent entries, however seeing as I'm a huge starship geek I have to go with the convoy.  ;)

I actually had the same idea myself (to paint civilian ships) but realized I didn't have enough. Glad to see someone else with the same idea!
