I had some kind of a paintersblock, but that's over now.
So time to start painting my 6mm Army and finishing it

Amazing detail for 6mm! Is the glider airbrushed?

Great work on those gliders. Just had a look at your site the scenery is fantastic just how I would like my table to look. I will take inspiration from this. A couple of questions

1. What are the little fibreboard mounted labels for, they look interesting.
2. How wide do you make your roads?

Many thanks

Hi Richard,

We use the fiderboard markers for wat is in the halftracks - other transport and on tanks. Futhermore are they much easier for troops in buildings. You just lay the counter next to the house instead of a figure base. We also have wound and supp counters as + and - 1 counters.

Main roads are 4cm (5 cm with)other 2.5 to 3 (4 to 3.5 with)

Thanks

I like the idea of the counters for representing troops in vehicles/bui;dings etc. I will definitely be using that in my games. Thanks for the info on the roads I have got a load to make and that info will be most helpful.

We place a flag next to each CO - HQ - FAO - FAC in the beginning of the turn. After the individual Comd Base has done the flag is removed. So when all flags are removed its your opponents turn.

Simple but effective. Thanks for your help. Hopefully my boards will go some way to looking as good as yours. Some of my work is on my wiki if you would like to have a look.
