A small group of SU100’s
A formidable force of heavy JSIII tanks
Some long in the tooth T34’s (these will play as T34/85’s)
All these are appropriate for Arab forces from 1948 through to 1967, and can be stretched slightly further at a push. The pictures have given a slightly odd colour as in real life they are quite sandy yellow. I plan to add a bit of variety with other units as at 6 mm it isn’t a great idea to paint everything exactly the same. Having now looked at the bases I might lighten the sand on the base slightly to reduce the contrast with the background basecloth, again under the natural eye this isn’t as obvious. I am now awaiting a parcel from Heroic and Ros for the rest of the Arab and Israeli force to arrive. I do have a few trucks and such like which I might get done....😀 the fun part is during the research I have discovered the Syrians had Quite a bit of old German armour and I have a few bits floating around for them too.
cool
ReplyDeleteNice, you've been productive! I do like the js3, I hope you're better now.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain.......doesn’t take long to paint 6 mm 😀
DeleteA New Year and a New Project is a perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are on the road to recovery. The flu I picked up over the holidays is not letting go.
As if I didn’t have enough projects 😂
DeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteHopefully the rest of the forces will arrive soon !
DeleteLooking good. I have small forces of Israelis and Egyptians in 10mm but haven't had them on the table for a while. What rules do you intend to use?
ReplyDeleteWe’ll be using Cold War commander. As we know and like Blitzkrieg commander it is an obvious choice. Realistic enough, fun but fairly easy to remember.
DeleteLooking very, very good! Interesting arena of war.
ReplyDeleteSomething different is always good for motivation
DeleteNot a scale I’d entertain, as you know, but each to their own. Glad you are on the mend, though sorry you’ll not be cycling through France this year!
ReplyDeleteI simply don’t have atable big enough for tanks in 28 mm 🙂
DeleteNicely different and they certainly look the business too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil very simple paint job....the Arabs Egypt, Syria and Jordan were kind enough the keep their paint jobs simplem in 1967....we’ll especially at 6mm scale
DeleteGet better quick! The Tour de Yorkshire will soon be upon us and Richmond won't celebrate itself (Scarborough isn't Swaledale, so isn't worth mentioning ;) )
ReplyDeleteMay have to wait till next year lol
DeleteVery Nice Matt, can't beat a new project for the new year :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Stu yes anything to distract me from going back to work 😀
DeleteVery well painted!
