Another Russian base for Blucher finished up this week, along with a bit of an experiment.
This lot has flags from the Tchernigov and Selenguinsk regiments. Getting into the swing of these guys, with another set on deck. I'll ride the 6mm train until the Magpie strikes, and then shift gears, but in the meantime, seem to be getting things done.
I've also been playing around with some 6mm WWII stuff As I think I mentioned in my last post, I was able to print out some Panzer IVs on a 3d printer last week. I gave them a quick paint up, and based them as an experiment.
I don't know if these are great, but at a nickel a pop I can't complain. Colours were a little dark - I tried something with the new GW contrast paints that worked, but ended up abou two shades darker than I'd anticipated. Grist for the mill.
I've got another order in with some attempts at different positions on the turret, and we'll see how they turn out. The idea would be to use this for Rommel, and I think for the next base, I'll try to scatter in some infantry as well. This is definitely a slow-grow project, but it's something to muck about with, and an excuse to become familiar with some of the basic 3D modelling software out there.
