I like the base and the use of the bottle tops. Took a me a couple of minutes to realise what they were. Personally couldn't be doing with stuff that small but while your eye sight lasts.....

Always nice to see new blood, avoid the froth pot until you find your feet and you'll be fine.

6mm skirmish gaming is at first an odd concept, but when you can buy whole armies with the loose change in your pocket, build cities in an afternoon and actually paint the stuff it's a great idea.

Superb, reminds me of playing the old "Dune, battle for Arrakis" (sic) computer game or C&C counter strike in 6mm!

I was looking over your rules yesterday, they seem about the right level of complexity for my taste (not very complex). Any tanks or tracked vehicles in the pipeline?

I was thinking exactly the same. Could do with some ornithopters. I love that first vehicle as well, nicely chunky in a space opera explorer way.

That's pretty spectacular for a 6mm figure!

Not at the moment, due to cost and the small amount (see what I did there) of profit in 6mm sales in metal.
However once the school holidays are over I will be experimenting in resin vehicles...

Looks bloody lovely, almost makes me want to do something on that scale, really inventive use of random stuff, and great brushwork

I'm slowly heading into 6mm due to space and time-frame issues (not having any). Your now exploiting my magpie like attraction for glossy pictures and nice terrain - you sod :)
