6mm is as far as I go down scale-wise. I think 2mm is a wee too small.

I would consider a 2mm game only if there weren't infantry.

RB, think Drybrishing is the ONLY way to go at this scale, though I did paint most of the buildigns in the traditional manner.
I just really like the massed battle effect you can acieve on a snmall table, and realistic battle ranges. ?I'll be having quite a few infantry stabnds, but rememebr that its 8 stands like those above for a whole battalion - in 1:1 scale that is!
Add to that Flying machines, mechanical contraptions, river gunboats, Land Ironclads, rampaging dinosaurs, giant anarchist doomsday devices, clockwork soldiers and you have some real atmosphere! ?
And speaking of clockwork soldiers, does anybody know of a manufacturer who makes a Tin Woodsman (aka Wizard of Oz) style miniature?

Yes, me... not for sale though - and I stil havn't started it!
Sorry Tas, but I need a bit of nice old rivalry to get me pumped up and do some Niffic stuff 
(and if you like wht comes out, I might just be persuaded to build a second for export....)

Hi Taz,
There's a big UK site full of miniatures guides... Blothers or something like that. I'll see if I can find a link.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I always though this Citadel Limited Edition from the 1980s would be good for VSF.

Hi Tas,
The sight is called "Frothers United," but I haven't found a link yet.

Ive posted some more pics of my VSF stuff to my photobucket. After much delay, I've finally completed some 2mm Infantry blocks and some cavalry. I'm quite happy with how the Redcoats have come out actually:
anyhow, more in the bucket, including an "Iron Giant"

Tas, they're great - having seen your other pics in privileged preview mode I can safely say they're terrific. Do you still have your eyesight? cheers,
JOhn
PS - we need to start a Land Ironclads thread in Battlecomms, old chap!
