2m3/3 Additional units for the ANZAC force for #ww3TeamYankee all done.

Finally is the second of two themed objectives; an M548 logistics vehicle in British colours. This ties in with the British Rapiers and Abbots that support the force.

15mm objective marker constructed from a Battlefront plastic LAV-25 with an S&S models LAV-R upgrade kit. The LAV-R is painted in Australian three tone camo and has been modified to carry the unused turret, painted like the front has been scorched by an engine fire. A pair of Battlefront metal ANZAC infantry look on.

The LAV-R is painted in Australian three tone camo and has been modified to carry the unused turret, painted like the front has been scorched by an engine fire. This picture just shows that the turret is suspended by the three 'ropes' made of fine twine and glued to the models existing lifting eyelets.

Brutal Cities 15mm Plattenbau showing the internal layout. The layout is sized around Team Yankee bases (the balconies fit a single medium base. https://brutalcities.com/products/apartment-block-15mm-terrain

Brutal Cities 15mm Plattenbau with alternative roof and entryway. The latter converts an upper storey floor into a ground floor, allowing a five-storey set and an alterative roof to build two apartment buildings. https://brutalcities.com/products/plattenbau-apartment-alternate-roof-15mm

Brutal Cities 15mm Plattenbau with additional internal wall. Not so useful for company level games (thought they are sized for TY medium and small bases) like WW3 Team Yankee or Northag, but excellent for squad, skirmish or rpg games like Twilight 2000. https://brutalcities.com/products/plattenbau-apartment-ruins-internal-upgrade-pack

2/5 The Plattenbau Apartment Block is the stand-out here. The modular nature allows it to be tailored in various ways as can be seen here, with alternative roofs, a ruined upper storey and additional internal walls.

1/5 This month, I've been getting a bit Brutal.
Brutal Cities sent me a care package that I'm reviewing on the blog but here's some photos of the finished buildings. The apartments are scaled for 15mm and perfect for #Northag/#WW3TeamYankee.
#terrain #tabletopgaming #nerdlings #Coldwargonehot

So here is at least a bit of Progress I made. The #Heroics&Ros #6mm cold war line is very good for the most part but the #ADATS lacked a few distinct details like the boxes on the hood, so I added them myself.
#FlamesOfWar #BattlefrontGames #ColdWarGoneHot #TeamYankee

I've been slacking the last few weeks but for a good reason: I abandoned an almost finished project just to bring a new one to 90% and then abandoning it 🫣 One of them was the counterpart for my #6mm #NVA the Canadians, who just need basing.

Here are some details of the #NVA east german Infantry. The base design would be central european meadows with a few bushes and some grooves cut by armoured vehicle tracks and a few craters.
#TeamYankee #6mm #BattlefrontGames #ColdWarGoneHot #WWIII #DDR #GDR

So, here are some detail shots of different Units. Its really hard to paint camo at that scale but I wanted them to stand out. I used masking putty and #airbrush. The pattern is based on true #NVA manuals but never saw widespread use afaik.

So when I'm not painting #Necromunda or #BlackstoneFortress I'm into #FlamesOfWar but because I somehow got it stuck in my head that the different weapon ranges don't scale well in #15mm I decided to go #6mm. Here is my east german T55AM Bataillon.
