Jo6 Purchases and what's on the bench?

As I said previously, Joy of Six wasn't much of a shopping trip for me this time; I was much too busy running the Cold War Commanders game and talking to punters.

What I did buy came from our two nearest trading neighbours at the show, PG Studio and Kore.

From PG Studio I got these:

I like to have a variety of sizes and colours of static grass on hand and these will greatly improve my options. They are marked as 500ml and I have to say the containers were very full; great value for money.

I had quite a long chat about 3d printing with the chap from Kore. I ended up buying a small pack of his 1930s/40s cars. 

They are very clean 3d resin prints. They were generally in very good condition. The only quibbles were a slightly damaged bumper on the highly streamline car in the front row and the fact that the Autobahn bus (rear right) was slightly sticky - I guess it needed a bit more curing under a UV light.

I'm happy with how the vehicles have turned out. I certainly recommend them if you want so different vehicles for a WW2 or early Cold War game. I have contacted Kore to find out what each model represents but haven't heard back. If I do, I'll amend this post to tell you what's what. 

Also recently on the workbench are these 6mm Soviet infantry.

They were originally painted about forty years ago but I've recently rebased them. A couple of points to note are the first use of the PG Studio Wild Autumn 2mm static grass plus the fact that the two Spigot ATGW teams are on 20mm square bases. I think this is going to be my new standard for infantry ATGW platoons and anti-tank rifle units.

Finally for now I've also been extending the collection of 20mm Cold War Polish marines.

The third section of the platoon should have a man with the SVD sniper rifle (already done) and a tripod for its PKM machine gun. The standing figure on the left has an MG. He might have to represent the platoon's SFMG gunner for now.

The two unpainted figures on the rear right were sculpted with breeches tucked into Soviet-style jackboots. I've used a little Green Stuff to sculpt long trousers bloused over ankle boots.

Finally, I freed up a little storage space by means of some eBay sales. This chap:

... a couple of old Triang railroad cars...

... a Scotia dungeon thingie...

... and an old GW hobgoblin have all gone off to new owners:

That's all for now. I'll be off to work out what else I could sell on.
