6mm Irregular Automobile Update at Maksim's Blog!

Hi Everyone,

I just published a new photographic update on my blog featuring:

- Some photos of "6mm" Irregular automobile miniatures by Johan the "gunbird".
- A rant by me about "scale creep" with 6mm miniatures.
- A bunch of links to 6mm automobile photos.

Check it out here:

I'd love to hear any constructive criticism, compliments, or other positive comments.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

P.S.
I've crossposted at several forums.

The '6mm' cars cars you're referring to bear a remarkable resemblance to some Z scale automobiles available from one of the German model railroad manufacturers. Another possibility for civilian trucks are the single rear axle Gaz trucks from the World War Two Russian line(R42). Paint them green, they're Soviet Army trucks; paint them black, they're Ford Model A trucks.
I would like to see GHQ make civilian vehicles, but (dusting off my old retailer's cap) such a pack would cost as much to manufacture as a pack of tanks, and the tanks would sell a lot better than the cars.
