| 6mm Scale European Walled Chateau... A customer asked us for a European Walled Chateau in 6mm scale. We used part of our Z Scale Naleumont station (ZC1) and combined it with some of the Belgian stone buildings from Range 6. Finally we added a wall made from plastic card, a few trees, some foliage and static grass. A rather nice result we think, with a real Continental feel to it. |

A Spanish Town in 6mm...
The
brief for this model was to produce a Spanish town and farms for the
Spanish Civil War period. We used a mix of buildings from our 6mm
Southern European range (Range 8), some French buildings from Range 1, and a couple of the French colonial style buildings from our 6mm SE Asian range (Range 28). The customer also wanted a walled vineyard and orchard - we used the new 6mm rough stone walls from Range 37.
The buildings give a definite Mediterranian feel to the model, while careful painting and blending of the pantiled roofs helps to unify the model. The use of a light sand colour for the roads and tracks, plus a brown tint to the static grass and flock, adds to the impression of a hot dry climate. Reminds me of my last holiday in Andalucia... |

Another view of the town square.. The walled garden of the house in the foreground is part of the building model and adds quite a bit of character to the model. |

A
15mm scale Shanty Town...
David wanted a shanty town for his AK47 games. He decided that he wanted to use some of the model buildings from our 15mm scale SE Asian range (Range 30), and had chosen to add some etched brass palm trees to give the models a tropical feel. Apart from that we were given a free hand to produce the models - lots of rust and rubbish! We found some photos of African shanty towns in old copies of National Geographic magazine (always a useful source of reference material) and used these help us recreate the rusting shacks and rubbish strewn yards. |

WW2
and Modern built up areas in 6mm scale...
The specification for this order was to produce a variety of town and village bases suitable for western Europe for both the WW2 and Cold War periods. The order included industrial areas, a town square and a couple of bases of battle damaged and destroyed buildings. David also wanted maximum detail - garden sheds, vegetable plots, garden fences etc. David was very happy with the results and we were almost sorry to hand the finished models over - we'd have liked to have kept these for our own layout! The buildings were selected from our 6mm western and eastern European ranges (Range 3 and Range 6), with a few extras from the Napoleonic (Range 20) and Modern Eurpoean (Range 23) ranges. Trees, fences etc were from our scenic accessories range (Range 37). |

6mm
Scale Napoleonic scenery...
Christian
contacted us from the USA with a large order for
some 6mm
German/Central European scenery for the Napoleonic period (Range 20). Christian
wanted number of town, village and farm bases, plus a whole
bunch
of fields, orchards, woods and treelines. The order needed
30+
buildings and the best part of 500 model trees.
The buildings and field bases were mounted on 4" square MDF, to fit in with the "Grande Armee" Napoleonic rules, while the woods were mounted on similar sized bases but with irregular shaped edges. The picture on the left shows the completed order ready for shipping. Click on the thumbnails below to see some close up pics of the finished models. |
