For the first time in many months, I have this weekend made some progress with my 6mm toys. As usual, I have far too many projects on the go, and the Air Assault Brigade was started some months ago when I sorted out and assembled all the toys and sprayed on the base coat.

| The vehicles for the AAB. All GHQ models, undercoated with Humbrol 'Grass Green' (spray paint). |
This unit has been put together for use with my
NATO Brigade Commander rules, and will be based for use with my 'desert' Hexon tiles. I will post further photos as progress is made.

| The infantry (also GHQ) and vehicles, along with a few other odds and ends being painted at the same time. |
This will actually be my third (and final?) AAB - the others having 'snow' and green bases. The organisation of all three is similar - two para battalions and two air assault battalions in BMDs, together with company-sized units of AT, recce, artillery and AA.
The toys in this case are all from the GHQ range, the figures and heavy weapons being a mix of their Russian (W68 & W69) and 'Brushfire Warriors' (TW8 & TW9) - the latter chosen as they are wearing berets.

I have tried recently to paint American WWII 6mm, but all I ended up with was a green looking blob.

My painting is a long way short of great, but if there's demand I'd be happy to do a 'how to' post on painting 6mm figures and vehicles.

They're smaller, so I paint very little detail on. From 3ft away they look OK.
