New wargames and new scale, but what is it?

[Adam]

O.K at Vapnartak last weekend I decided to indulge my passion for WW1 even further than the recent purchase of some aeroplanes and start wargaming a new scale with tanks and figures. I have just painted the first tank- but tell me folks for fun- what scale have I moved to?

[rpardo]

10 mm ?

[Siegfried]

1/1? For a man with too much of spare time only the real thing is good

[Benno]

My guess is 6mm.

[Steve]

Looks like either 6mm or 10mm looking at the tank tracks, I ,ove 6mm myself and have lots of stuff for it from Baccus

Actually I was thinking again, in 6mm the only people who do an AV7 is Scotia I think, and in 10mm Pendraken do one, irregular might do one as well though in 6mm , so I shall plump for 6mm

[Steve]

Hmm thinking again, you said you bought planes as well Pendraken dont do a lot of aircraft but irregular do, I'm sure Irregular were at theshow so I think its Irregular 6mm you've gone for

6mm or 10mm.... I just want to know who painted it!!

[rpardo]

I want to change to 1:1, like Benno said

[Adam]

Yes you are indeed correct Rafa 10mm- Pendraken- I thought I t was such a great model for £1.50! I got two and 2 Mk IV tanks. The miniture planes are Wings of War pre painted in 1/144- do a bit of a cheat there!

I was very impressed by the sculpting all round. I painted it up based on this. I have no idea how accurate it is- i just liked the paint job. (not my usual style but it was quite refreshing to not worry about the accuracy!

[KD7SVH]

That is one seriously good paint job Adam.

[Benno]

That is one seriously good paint job Adam.

I'd say!

[Adam]

Beauty of this scale is going to be- I can still manage a half decent paint job.... buuuut get millions more tanks etc on the table!
(P.S thats my little finger- these guys are seriously good and cute too!)

[efb]

Excellent parsons.

[Benno]

Don't those guns break of easily?

[Adam]

They would if you used the glue in ones provided, but given it is one piece soft resin I just cut some sewing pins about 20mm long and pushed them in untill there was 3mm stuck out- that way they are metal and stuck right in there!

Tommorow I will photograph the other A7V and the two MK IV i have just finished. They only take about !/2 hour each being small and easy to paint!

I found a new favourite!
