| Welcome to GermsWorld
2mm Sci-Fi Gallery Showcase |
When these 2mm miniatures
first came out I painted them up in
very bright cartoonish colours to go
with the style of the miniatures. You
can see what I mean here.
But for sometime now people have asked
to see the 2mm sci-fi miniatures I produced
painted up in camo or more realistic
shades of colour.
I have also recently witnessed yet another
debate on The
Miniatures Page about why people
bother with very small scale miniatures.
So as well as painting the miniatures
up again I mounted them on standard
30mm hexagonal bases (plastic ones from
EM4
miniatures) and added a little bit
of scenery. I'm sure you'll agree with
me that these miniature have plenty
of detail and that you can recognise
what the miniatures are!
All the miniatures are produced by Ground
Zero Games and sculpted by me of
MiniGerm

So I finally finished my 2mm Dropship
mini diorama.
Here we have the larger of the two dropships
I made complete with no less than three
combat walkers and a squad of six infantry.
Remember this whole scene is on just
three 30mm hex bases.
All I can say is people really need
to start playing Mech type games in
2mm :) |

First up we have a heavy tracked tank
and medium walker.
For these I went for a rocky desert
look for the base complete with craters
and the odd rock or two.
|
|
|
Not wanting the
miniatures to blend in too much I
went for a darker brown than the base.
This colour scheme was a simple brown
undercoate, inked brown and then highlighted
with a lighter brown. I then picked
out some areas like the tank tracks,
gun barrel and parts of the walkers
legs and painted them black with a
silver highlight to give a metalic
look.
Detailing of the identification letters
and numbers was done last.
|
|
Next up I went for
total desert and managed a rather
groovy desert camo scheme for the
medium hover tank. The infantry are
the 2mm robot infantry also painted
in camo. You can just about make out
the rank stripe on the leader middle
infantry figure :)

Keeping with the
desert theme here is a picture of
the first dropship i made delivering
a squad of marines also in desert
camo.

Another angle of
the base showing the infantry in more
detail. Also shows the numbering I
put on the dropship. Not bad for a
model that's 13mm long and 8mm high!

|
Here we have the
smaller of the two sphere style dropships
I made with robot infantry disembarking.
I painted the dropship in a nice metallic
grey thinking that there was little
point in trying to camouflage a huge
orbital dropship!
|
|
Here I decided to
group together a little armoured formation
on a base. Three medium ACV tanks
advance over a crater marked landscape.
|
|
|
|
I also wanted to move to more traditional
green camo patterns for these tanks.
This base shows just what is possible
with 2mm miniatures in representing
an armoured unit in hex based wargames.
|
| More 2mm miniatures coming
soon, including an Airbase diorama and
a massive dropship delivering a squad
of walkers! |
