24th September 2016, I started doing some scenery only a small amount to start with if this game takes off at the club then I will certainly expand the amount of scenery I do.

I basically used some N Gauge buses and N Gauge cars you can buy these from anywhere. At some point I will do the tutorial of how I did them.

18th September 2016, I had just about finished my UCM army just needed finishing touches.

13th September 2016, I started assembling my Scourge army, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it’s all went together.

April 2016, Search continues to find the 10mm equivalent. A 10mm chieftain tank has been found by a forum member over at leagueofaugsburg.com.

13th April 2016, After doing some research I have found that there were three different types of laser tank in the series space 1999 all three versions who built on a chieftain tank chassis so I’m going to have a go a building a couple.

8th April 2016, After asking for help on the Pendraken forum, Grumpy came up with a brilliant suggestion of using the Avatar Scorpion RDA Gunship as transport for my armoured Marines or as an objective. So I bought 3 from eBay.

8th April 2016, Reinforcements arrived from Pendraken Miniatures.

22nd March 2016, I painted up a few of Pendrakens old Sci-Fi Marines and I’m certainly impressed with how easy they were to do.
