Bit of an unusual post this … but hey, variety and all that …
Being in a 3mm mood, I remembered some tiny tanks I ‘sculpted’ and cast in my early teens (13–14 I’d guess). Measuring them now, the tanks are approximately 1/800? scale … the planes closer to 1/1660?.
I’d seen an advert for 1:300 scale ww2 tanks in a wargaming magazine, but they could only be purchased by phone with a debit card (or something), and so were not available to 13 year old me. So I just guessed (incorrectly!) how big/small 1:300 was and made these myself.
They were ‘sculpted’ in super sculpy. Super sculpy is an awful material to try to make tanks in – it’s very soft and the translucent peach colour makes it impossible to see details at that scale. Still, it was what I had, and I then moulded and cast some of them in white metal (I’d already been casting Prince August napoleonics, so was used to white metal).
(and yes, I know these look like unrecognisable lumps now, but I had fun making ‘em when I was 14
)
A pair of de Havilland Mosquitos … not sure what the small fighter was meant to be
A tiny Wespe (or something like a Wespe?)
Mix of stuff, the metal thing with some pink was a Tiger I, I think the others are: t-34/76, IS-2, Matilda, Polish TKS tankettes, Jagdtiger, StuG-III, pair of bergwpanzers ARV, and … I dunno maybe a sturmtiger?
Some of the 'masters', this is what the sculpy looked like, this lot incudes a t-35 and Karl-Gerät:
Bergepanzers and sturmtiger. Rocket mortar is the head of a pin.
Russian SU-85s (honest, they are!)
A bit later i got interested in the napoleonic wars as well and tried some infantry, these are closer to 3mm scale (+extra height from bearskins), spanish and french grenadiers:
(I might have posted these on taccom before, if I did, please show me, as I couldn’t find any other photos!)
