Some Old, Badly Staged Photos of Little Planes, Ships, Tanks and Infantry

While I take some time to think up a more interesting subject, organise my existing miniatures and start a new project to document, here are some pictures taken a long time ago of various things I've painted. There are also some pictures of battles I've fought with some of them.

First, something completely unrelated to 6mm: A 15mm British Para and a fighter in civilian clothing that I painted for fun.

An early 20th Century Insurgent (Eureka Miniatures).

WW2 British Paratrooper (Old Glory miniatures).

Some of my 6mm stuff when I had it on display.

And now for some water craft:

A 1:1200 French 74 in progress (Navwar miniatures)

Finished: The French 74 (3rd Rate Ship of the Line) 'Le Superbe' now completed, including paper flags, cotton thread and flywire rigging (Navwar miniatures).

A 1:3000 Royal Navy frigate (Navwar miniatures) initially intended for a Cold War era game in the North Atlantic. The transparent base is cut from a plastic takeaway food container and the wake is simply Selleys pasted on and shaped with a toothpick.

I really enjoyed making these 1:1200 Spartan Triremes, and was pretty happy with my hand-painted sail symbols - the Lambda and the Gorgon (Navwar miniatures).

Team Yankee looks pretty good in 6mm. Here, the National Volksarmee takes on the Czech army (due to some Cold War backstabbing):

A Motor Schutzen Battalion advances (GHQ miniatures, CinC miniatures).

Motor Schutzen Company holds off the Czechs (GHQ miniatures, CinC miniatures).

East German T-72Ms enter a town in 1985 (GHQ miniatures).

A Norman Church. The graveyard headstones and low wall are just carved-up matchsticks (Scotia Grendel miniatures):

Some 6mm aircraft of various makes:

Messerschmitt Bf 110C night fighter (Heroics & Ros).

CAC Boomerang. My dad painted this one: he had never painted a miniature before (Scotia Grendel miniatures).

Fireforce! Rhodesian units, including Hawker Hunter (Scotia Grendel), Alouette III (Heroics & Ros) and Rhodesian Light Infantry (GHQ Afrika Korps riflemen), individually based as an experiment on whether skirmish-level games can be played at 6mm.

Various things prepared for undercoating (Baccus 6mm figures, and aircraft from various manufacturers including Scotia Grendel, Heroics & Ros, Raiden).
