6mm Buildings Update

Getting there. The beauty of these is how quick it is to build a city! I won't pretend that I'm being careful about these - basically, I'm just throwing them together.

Trees are a load I picked up from Langley's in Norwich, vehicles are just undercoated Garrison - some day might finish them...

6mm Empires at War buildings

Over the last few years one of my 'neglected' projects has been 6mm SciFi. Garrison had a nice range of hover tanks, etc, and I did did get round to painting some. Last year I bought some infantry (still haven't done anything with them) and during my current spending spree I got some of the 6mm and 20mm buildings by Empires at War.

They do a couple of packs that contain 4 buildings for £10 and today I thought... why not try one...

So I did. Took, ooohh... several minutes...

They don't cost much, are easy to put together, look OK - think I'll be adding a few more.

The kits themselves are a simple 7 part 'frame.

Over this frame you then glue odd bits of detail including 'ready painted' frontages. A bit rough on close up, but fine on the table. This one is just under 7cm wide.

 

Scale-wise, I think they're a bit underscale - 5mm rather than 6mm - but they'll more than do the job.

 

Meanwhile, as I was writing this up I built another one.
