These are some of my 1/56 scale tanks for the wargame Bolt action, I'm in the process of painting some figures - Brit Commandos and Paras. Fun to build and paint. Very detailed for small scale.

The Brits-


Size comparison-

Wow, they look cool Matt

Thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing they are about games workshop figure scale?

Hi Mick,
Yeah they're a similar scale to GW40k Imperial guard, i've seen a few videos on Youtube where they've compared the sizing of the figurines to 1/48th scale Tamiya tanks, (whether you use those for battling or the official Warlord tanks doesn't seem to be frowned on).
I used to collect Warhammer 40k figures and to find a game specific to WW2 tanks is great in my books.

Sorry to be a pain Matt, but did you do a typo with the scale? Aren't 28mm figures close to 1/65th scale?

Yeah, I think the games workshop figures are closer to 30 - 32 mm tall, and a bit on the chunky size, that's why I think modellers favour 48th with them.

These are brilliant pieces. One way to hone your skills is to keep dabbling in smaller scales. I really like the level of detail these guys have.

Yeah I think they're larger- the boxes state 28mm, but looking at 1/48th tamiya figures they're much larger- possibly for handling and painting the details. I've so far got 30+ paras to paint and 30+ Commandos to finish assembling (spent the evening with some sand/gravel and some PVA wood glue basing them up.

Yeah for about £16 you can buy one and build one in approx 40mins to an hour.
Then experiment with some exotic Octopus/ ambush camouflage scheme without fear of messing up your 1/16 scale tank.

They really have exquisite details
