More housekeeping means finding some of the old pictures of my 6mm terrain which is used in the campaign.
Early game on in the 6mm projects life. A 4 x 4 board at my gaming buddy's house with simple roads and terrain items. I hadn't made any roads or rail sections at this stage

And the other side
Forward Security Element and Main Body up against 22 Armd Bde
Early shots on the 6" x 6" BUA I shamelessly copied from Timecast since updated with a new scheme
Following a bit of scratch building on the roads and finding out that the Hornby track planning set is a perfect match in this scale.
Roadsigns, again an idea take forward from discussions with Barrie at Timecast during the Reading show. I found a German font which meant that I could make up anything I wanted and then just print out on card.
Interim playing surface (yes it is a blanket) with some slightly reworked roads
Track planning set with a home made bridge using Plastruct
Which meant I needed a rail crossing
Roughly the amount of rail system I ended up with.

So glad I found these pictures as I thought they were lost when I broke my old PC. Luckily my backup regime worked. I just forgot where the backups were.
As with all gamers, projects come and go. Models you were thinking of moving on get a new lease of life due to a comment in the Hobby or a movie on TV. This will hopefully be my record of my best endeavours not to start anything new until I have at least completed 75% of what I already have....as if that is ever going to happen ;)
Hi Simon,
ReplyDeleteHow did you paint the railways as I have had problems with the plastic?
Cheers
