Hi,

Another great addition to the 6mm terrain world from Perfect Six Scenics.

Lovely stuff

The wooden barrels being cast on a flat sprue is a god-send.
I acquired some modern metal fuel barrels with a sprue that had the barrels cast on the edge & they are a nightmare to cut off as you then have to file them flat & to the horizontal.

The hay piles are also nice ... ideal for representing a lone Sniper perhaps!

Great set of minis. That should add some nice clutter to scenic items.

Cheers, Andy

Just ordered 3 packs of each Grin

Will try and get as many as possible done for Broughton. Dutch/West Germans nearly finished just got a load of terrain bits to get finished including a load of Timecast buildings and an 18' long river!!!

Three Weeks to go SmileGrinSmile

They do look great and he is filling a niche that needs attention, so that is great. I must get an order in soon, but I've currently sworn off buying anything new before I complete various parts of the lead pile ... hah, what kind of wargamer does that make me? Huh?
Did you say THREE weeks? AAAAAAAArrrrrggghhh ... better wear another paint brush out this weekend then! Stunned

Glad you guys like the poles, hope they add a little flavor to your wargame scenics, on that note I'm always interested in new ideas, so if there's something you guys would like let me know, will be releasing oil drums , Jerry cans, and ammo crates very soon, followed by a horse and cart , cows,sheep,horses,dog,and farmer not sure why I did the dog but hey!!!

How about some bloated dead cows and horses to scatter around? I don't know of anybody doing 6mm versions.

Road side kit is always useful:

Metal Skips (good for very modern & sci-fi)
Rubbish bins
Telephone boxes
Milk churns (that will get the railway guys hooked in)
Bus shelters
Burnt out cars & small trucks/vans
Various types of road signs

What about trams for the WW1/WW2 guys

I'll keep thinking

Definitely give a vote to skips (empty and full) and also any farming equipment (tractors, trailers etc) Grin

Will be doing dead animals once the living are released , road signs are a wip next year release , never thought of a skip will give it a go, now cars would love to do but might be beyond the sculpting ability so will try and see were it goes , I wanted to do car wrecks ! ,

Thanks guys keep them coming I want to slowly release a huge range all periods, 6mm lends it self so well to great scenics

Richard

Ps ammo crates are now on general release. http://www.perfectsixscenics.co.uk/home2.html

I'd like some modern buses. That's how the Israeli army was transferred between fronts.
Traffic lights.
And pylons, but I don't know how!

i'd buy the dog, the farmer too depending on how he's dressedGrin

I'd like to see some stocks/pillories for my medieval/fantasy market place, market stalls too both old style and more modern

Liking the market idea (medieval and modern) and fork lift truck is a great idea can be used for both military and industrial settings.

My telegraph pole order arrived this morning so I hope to get some painted up as soon as possible. Will post a photo when I have done them.

person-less stocks/pillories would be preferable, though wouldn't complain either way tbh
