6mm Musings

PS. I don't mind the fantasy stuff either, having some 25mm figures from decades ago and having just started work on some 6mm goblins.

The guy in the local Warhammer shop is always interested (or he is a good actor) in my 6mm example figures I bring in to show him when I top up my paint pot collection.

I wonder if he's thinking, 6mm? Now that would give me the opportunity to recreate the Battle of Pelennor—and still have room on the table for my beer.

Talking about 6mm storage...

All my Baccus 6mm Armies in a single place (3 metalic shelves that used to have building plans on them)... reuse, and recycle...

There was an article in "Slingshot" where a wargamer from New Zealand included a photograph of the 73 metal toolboxes used to store his 25mm scale (I think) armies. They seemed to stretch along one wall of his garage.

I manage to store my 29 or so ancient armies in small plastic pencil boxes which fit into a single storage cube structure. They may have crept into the background of some of my battle photographs, along with some of the larger boxes to hold the terrain.

All my ACW (maybe some wagons detached to Pony Wars shelve) in one shelve... the beauty not mentioned of 6mm is that a lot of gear is multipurpose... meaning that my colonial limbers are ACW... also the mules... also the wagons etc etc etc.
