TINY TINY SHIPS
A new project, ww2 Naval Pacific using "Naval Thunder" rules and figurehead 1/6000 scale ships. YES, 1/6000.......when I first opened the box I really wasnt ready for just how small they were. I spent several days looking at them thinking "how am I going to paint something SOOOO tiny. Eventually I dove in and found them really a breeze. Japanese Destroyers below:Here are Japanese Heavy Cruisers, The numbers are just for reference during the game and are not historical.
Native Warriors
Another side project, The French And Indian War, All the figures are either Perry Miniatures or Conquest Miniatures, both excellent miniatures. This one is slow going because all the Indians (Im so non-PC) have to be individuals, and all the war-paint beadwork is a pain to paint.
RCW Infantry
Christmas 2009 Ii started a Russian Civil War project, all the figures are Copplestone Castings which are excellant sculpts, Here are 2 pics of Reds, bases unfinished
Spanish Civil War
A side project of mine, The Spanish Civil War, here are 2 pics of Anarchist militia circa 1939.
The Natives
And now the natives, most are Ral Partha, with a few Frontier(impossible to get nowdays) and some Old Glory with the bases removed and necks shortened...theyll be the really fat guys.
Colonial Stuff
Just realized how long its been since I Last posted, Ive jumped around alot on periods, Here are some of my colonials: All will be Ral Partha unless noted. I fell in love with these little guys back in the 80's but couldnt afford them then, when I could...they were out of business. They are available again at:http://www.greatendeavours.co.uk/colonials/
Here are some Egyptian Infantry, the officer is a converted RN Officer.
Here is my company of Ghurka Rifles, once again the Native officer is converted from a Brittish one.

and here are the boys.
I modified the screw gunners, because all the photos Ive seen of them in action, they are crouching. So I cut them off at the waist and made them kneeling, Also added the fringe to the turban. The gun is grey, just looks silver in this light.
Close up of my Indian Lancers
The whole squadron.
Command element of one of my Sikh units, I have 2. Modified the officer to native, added the fringe on the turban.
Heres the whole unit.

Im not to satisfied with the lighting, and I wish I had some good terrain to put them on but this will do for now. Their bases I tried to make fairly generic but arid, so they could fight in the Sudan to Afgahnistan.
