Due to a run on the Solo Wargamers pound I have had to improvise in order to get any hobby time in this week. My 28MM zombie project is done and sat proudly in my cabinet and so it was time to look around for a replacement period........until I checked my bank balance and then a rethink was in order!
20MM certainly helps the financially challenged to overcome the costs involved in the hobby-if you have the eyesight it is a great scale. So-after checking I could still see these little guys- I ordered a box of Orion Israeli infantry and a few Grubby tanks packs and began to wait.
Whilst waiting I gathered some extruded styrene and a few pizza bases, tacks, cheap childs white glue and other odds and ends found around the house. An internet search of Pakistani city pictures gave me a clue as too what to build and it was Blue Peter time!
These buildings are far from finished as they need air con units (does anyone make these?) and a lot of signs, dangling wires and more rubbish! I have a longer row of even slummier buildings planned but for now I will take a break....who knows the figures may arrive?
Keep blogging Guys I need your ideas!
These are tremendous love the little details. As for air con units not sure about 20mm, but I know Empress Miniatures do some 28mm, along with satellite dishes: http://empressminiatures.com/userimages/procart14.htm
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link Michael, I will have a look at the air con units.
DeleteGreat work there- nice scratchbuilding skill.
ReplyDeleteS and S should be able to help with your air con units:

Cheers,

Thanks Pete, I will have a look at S and S. I thought about trying to make my own but it is too fiddly in this scale.
DeleteVery effective looking! Awesome job
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, it was an attempt to do something connected to the hobby whilst waiting for figures to arrive
