Title: 6/10mm chain of command
Post by: Corso on 18 November 2023, 03:23:20 PM
Planning both 10mm with Pendraken but since my last Naps order from Adler came with a sample of his 6mm Airborne I thight I'd paint up a tester

Cracking little figures but they are tiny, I thought they were going to be the same size as his Napoleonics but I was wrong.

Next toone of my Adler Rifle Officer conversions

Can't see me painting up more that a platoon if these

Most of us would struggle with that camo on 10mm let alone small 6mm :o

Great painting on the tiny little para! The size difference between him and the Nap's figure is ridiculous though. I've seen big differences between different manufactures at the same scale before, but this is pretty extreme, especially for the same manufacturer

The Napolionics have always been seen to be larger than your average 6mm and probably more like 8mm

I thought the WW2 range would be similar but they are 6mm and match up to Baccus which in handy since Adler don't do vehicles

I find the quality of the sculpts makes a big difference, it's colour within the lines after all

I have more trouble getting a decent photo than anything else

Chipping away at the platoon but will be pausing as I've run out of bases

Thanks, I'm really enjoying painting them

I'm afraid to ask but are you adding the scrim to the helmets or is it cast on the figures?
Title: Re: 6/10mm chain of command
Post by: Corso on 01 December 2023, 09:07:28 AM
I'm adding it  :D

Not as hard as it looks

It' crushed up dried Oregano, I dipped the helmet in some superglue and then the Oregano and then pulled off the bits I didn't like with tweezers before it set, sealed in when varnished
