Thud Ridge Vietnam and What if Baltic War 1980.

 Hi everyone.


 

As you saw in my last blog post I have been working on some 3mm aircraft for the Vietnam War as well as a what if Baltic air war taking place in 1980. Some good old Cold War scenarios.

 



 

I have been working on painting but also looking for rules that might work well for both periods. Luckily for me a fellow Blogger "Jim's Wargames Workbench" is also working on a Vietnam era air combat project. He is using a set of rule called Thud Ridge which is part of the Wings at War series of air combat miniature wargaming rules. They are available from Tumbling dice.

 







I have finished up the 4 x JA-37 Viggens and I have added national decals on the aircraft.

I have also finished up 6 x Mig-17's and I have also added the national decals.

I have painted up 4 x F-100's and F-105's, I still need to cutout and add the decals to these aircraft as well.


I have also worked on making bases that should work well for all conditions. I was going to use some ground flocking similar to my infantry miniatures but there is also a lot of water out there so I think I will keep the bases just plane brown without any paint or flocking.





I still have more miniatures to paint and also more deals to add but things are progressing along at a good pace.



I hope you enjoy the images from the work I have done so far.

Take care.
