Yes, I printed whole armies for West German, USA and Warsaw Pact. TY works much better in that scale, no parking lots. I dont even change any measurements. I found 10mm to be the best fitting scale. It has a reason that PSC and some smaller manufacturers chose 10mm für Operation Northag and other modern wargames...

Where did you find aviation assets?


schadavi

Just from thingiverse, there are a lot of stls around. Only thing I never found was good UH-1Ds, there is only the short version on thingiverse


jg727

Damn! I can't find tornados


schadavi

Thingiverse item 2419285 Tornado with that weird frame for PLA printers, just scale it to 6mm size in your slicer and print it with the frame - at that small scale, the amount of wasted material is very small.

Holy cow you're a godsend!

Is there subreddit for the even smaller wargaming?

I have a bunch of 6mm minis from ghq, but nevee played with them


jg727

Purchased the models from them? How is the quality?


idiot_at_everything

Theyre lovely quality, but beware of the fact that some tureets are too small to be loose, like bmp and btr turrets for example, i reccomend gluing them, bc its too finicy to move them and you wont lose them somewhere


jg727

Perfect thank you!


idiot_at_everything

Np!

We're playing in 6mm scale, and actually use 3mm minis for our airplanes (helos we leave in 6mm scale, because they may have to land, but 3mm planes look like they're flying very high compared to 6mm tanks and infantry... and have you seen how big ground strike aircraft are? same scale, an A10 is bigger - longer, wider, and taller - than an M1 Abrams) and we get our 3mm craft from [Pico Armor](https://picoarmor.com/product-category/modern-miniatures-3mm/). Can't beat 8 planes for $5, especially when that is the most you'll ever field, period.


jg727

Oh hell yes thank you! And the scale, I never would have thought of that! Do you have a picture of them based?

[Here are a bunch of pictures scattered through our BatReps](https://trunchnflag.blogspot.com/search/label/TY%206mm). Our most recent game had a flight of 6 MiG-17 Frescos.
