It was an interesting session, and incorporated some innovative game mechanisms.<br /><br />I doubt that I will expand this collection, but if I do I will certainly bear your suggestion in mind.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-45569499929645257682014-07-30T22:41:56.690+01:002014-07-30T22:41:56.690+01:00Didn't Wayne do SCW in 1:300 at COW a few year...Didn't Wayne do SCW in 1:300 at COW a few years back?

As to how they were constructed ... well I was so pleased with the way I built them that the process was easy to remember.<br /><br />I am thinking about using my 1:300th-scale SCW armies with my Heroscape terrain and Morschauser Modern rules, with each base representing either a company or a battalion.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-7754686334082995902014-07-30T21:14:50.182+01:002014-07-30T21:14:50.182+01:00Hi Bob,

How long have they been lurking in storage I wonder?<br /><br />I am also impressed with the 1/300th armies - do you have any plans for them now?<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-64707355189024503812014-07-30T19:19:49.959+01:002014-07-30T19:19:49.959+01:00Ian Dury,

The original wheels were cut off, thin Plasticard was cut out and glued in their place, and tiny wheels (which cannot be seen!) made from thin cross sections of plastic cocktail stick. The rest of the running gear on each track was made from two triangles of thin Plasticard.<br /><br />The turret was made from a depth charge from the Airfix E-Boat, the armament was a piece of plastic cocktail stick, and the superstructure was made from the floor of an Airfix ambulance. The rest was made from parts of the Universal Carrier.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-34636200733826055692014-07-30T18:51:24.801+01:002014-07-30T18:51:24.801+01:00Love those scratch-built tanks!
