That’s a nice army. What size table does going to 6mm allow you to use for BGK?
I’ve dropped all ranges from inches to cm and bought a 4’x6.5′ battle-mat from MatOWar, I cut the big mat into a 4×4 for bigger games and a 3’x2.5′ mat for smaller games that fits onto my coffee table , this left me with a 12″x42″ piece for taking photos of minis on. I guess I’ll mostly be playing on the 3’x2.5′

I generally find 3′ x 3′ is big enough for most 6mm evening games.
By evening I meant 2 or 3 hours of play.I used to play 6mm on 4′ x 6′.
Those were big old games mind that lasted a weekend…
Today’s additions, since I have a river on my terrain workbench I thought I’d paint up a few bits for the Soviet Riverine Flotilla
A pair of Bronekater BK 1125 from Heroics and Ros
These will be followed by a platoon of Black Sea Sailors made with modified H&R WW1 and WW2 Russian infantry

Today I’ve not got a lot done due to other responsibilities, but I did manage to get a couple more ships done that I’d started yesterday.
Firstly a couple of MTB, a G-5 & a D-3
Next a BMO Guard Ship that needed a crew, the crew are Heroics and Ros Russian officers and artillery crew with paint conversions to Russian Sailors.

I’ve managed to get a bit more finished, well, almost finished, they still need decals.
Sorry for the fuzz photos, I will master macro setting soon
First up, a platoon of KV-1 plus 2 additional tanks
A platoon of SU-76
Another T-34 Company, I did debate sticking some tank riders on these, but the thought of transplanting them from the tiny H&R T-34s gave me nightmares. Maybe next Company will get riders, though these guys did get some turret hatches opened up
A second forward HQ in T-34 for big, big games and a third for big, big, big games like the Prokhorovka Mega Game from the BGK book
As usual C and C welcome

Yay my superglue is here so I’ve been able to get on with this project. I’m taking part in a themed build on another forum, the theme is Ambulance, I thought I’d show my progress in this thread too as it may be of interest to some.
I’ve decided upon a Gaz-55 ambulance bus for my entry, but in 6mm this proves a problem as no such model exists (to my knowledge)
I’ve begun scratch building a bus body on the chassis of a Gaz-AA from GHQ using sheet styrene, steel wire and putty
Once the putty is dry I’ll file and shape the roof and add vents on the top, then it’s off to the painting tableI may also build a 6mm BA-22 armoured ambulance for my early Russians, I’m not sure if any of the few built ever saw service but it seems like an interesting bit of kit

I’m back to my 6mm WW2, I’m starting out slow on a few small bits while I get my eye in.
Firstly a squad of Red Army cavalry both mounted and dismounted
A horse dispatch rider
NKVD Blocking troops
A few extra sniper and spotter stands (you can never have enough snipers)
And finally a DShK machine gun for both infantry and in AA role.

My Gaz-55 Ambulance Bus conversion for a build on another forum is now complete so I can show it here now, I’ve added a couple of medics from Heroics and Ros’ WW1 and WW2 ranges

I am trying to figure what you did, was it a flat bed or something before and you have added the whole back bit?
I’ve managed to get a few more bits done on my Ruskies
Firstly my NKVD officer writing orders at his field desk (Irregular and C in C)
A platoon of NKVD border guards supported by a Maxim and Mortar (H & R WW1 and WW2 Russians)
A KV-2 and lend-lease White Scout Car (C in C)
2 Gaz-67 jeep for my NKVD blocking troops and 3 BA-10 armoured cars (GHQ and C in C)
2 tows for Zis-2 guns (GHQ and C in C)
Transports to motorise another rifle platoon and their Infantry gun (a mix of GHQ and C in C with troops transplanted from H & R trucks)
A platoon of T-60s (C in C)
And finally a few Don Cossacks (Irregular)
As usual C & C welcomed

look forward to seeing more
There will be plenty more soon, but so far just rebasing.
Fuzzy phone pic of German Armour rebased, they look almost the same as they did, but took a lot less time to base up without all of the cutting. I’ve expanded the size of my command stands from 30mm X 30mm up to 40mm X 40mm
I’ll be getting on with some early bits too, a T-26b company and a company each of BT-5 and BT-7 along with early war command in T-26 and on Horses.
