I thought it would make a nice local party office for some Barbarossa or Battlegroup Kursk games, and you can't beat the price! Just wait until I finish the train station. I'm thinking of making it the Ponyri or Kursk train station.<br /><br />You are too kind - those Panzer IVs are some of my best but the Army Painter can make any of us great painters!!<br /><br />Yes I was thinking those Commonwealth troops I have would make great PPCLI or RWR and that's the direction I've been wanting to take them. Especially with all the Shermans and Carriers I've got around here waiting for paint schemes.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-32750758752162018192014-11-20T11:18:57.539-05:002014-11-20T11:18:57.539-05:00Love the Party HQ - it looks like a great place to...Love the Party HQ - it looks like a great place to go for a party, especially with that festive garland over the front. For $1 I'd say you got yourself a great piece of scenery. I agree that 15mm is definitely the way to go for "epic" scale, meaning, to me, anything above section/platoon level. <br />For a so self-described "lousy"painter, your PZIVs look pretty good. You're too modest!<br />Cheers,<br />Michael<br />PS - Yes, you should paint those guys as Canucks. Totally, eh? :)Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-23096694203052986592014-11-19T05:08:00.541-05:002014-11-19T05:08:00.541-05:00John,

That and I'm a lousy painter! 15mm is a nice "epic" scale for Bolt Action I think, allowing me to fight large battles.<br /><br />My buildings are a mix. The "local party headquarters" is a dollar tree building from the Christmas village set that has been "repurposed". The one ruined building is from IMEX from their building and terrain set. The imex stuff is really nice and a little pricey.<br />Most of my 15mm buildings in my battles are either from JR that I bought off warweb or musket miniatures resin buildings.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-87417132998000627972014-11-18T21:51:43.333-05:002014-11-18T21:51:43.333-05:00I'm glad I'm not the only one playing Bolt...I'm glad I'm not the only one playing Bolt Action with 15mm figures. What maker are your buildings? I look forward to your next AAR.
