New 6mm Apartment Building

Another sweet looking apartment building in 1/285th scale (6mm). This model identical to 285CSS152 except it’s a about an inch narrower across the front making it a better fit for smaller spaces in your city. This model should work fine for most Middle East and African areas as well as near future scenarios. With the right finishes there is no reason this couldn’t fit in Eastern European setting as well.

Patriot Launchers are now in stock and shipping

The day is finally here and I’m proud and excited to release the new GameCraft Miniatures 1/285th scale (6mm) Patriot Missile Launcher. I know, those of you that game in 15mm, 20mm and 28mm are rolling your eyes right now … but this is big day for me.

This project has been a labor of love for me. I am a 1/285th scale (6mm) gamer and I’m a lifelong collector and fan of the miniatures produced by GHQ Miniatures. So when I decided that I would release my first 1/285 the scale vehicle miniature in soft metal I made myself a promise that I would try as hard as I could to release something on par with the quality of GHQ’s products … a very tall order indeed considering that they started producing soft metal castings of military vehicles right around my 4th birthday. Furthermore, we’ve all seen 6mm miniatures from other companies that look like the masters were carved from blocks of soap, I certainly did not want to enter the market as just one more of those guys either.

I’ve been working on this project for many months and have gone through several versions of this miniature, improving it with each generation and now I have something I can be proud of and release to the Micro Armor gaming world. I’m very happy with the way this piece turned out and if you agree, it’s available today to add to your collection.

If you have been waiting for this piece to be released, I thank you for your patience as I endlessly fussed with this to get it the way I wanted it.

The Patriot Missile Launchers are in stock and ready to ship now.

WWII European Bombed City – 1/285th scale (6mm)

A 40″ x 40″ game board representing a generic WWII European destroyed city. There are just over 200 buildings making up this city. Every building on this board is a GameCraft Miniatures MatBoard series building. MatBoard buildings are made of laser cut MatBoard, a thick paper type material that is lightweight, durable, easy to work with and cuts with amazing accuracy on the laser cutter. So, if you have any reservations about working with MatBoard, check out these photos and see what can be done with this cool material.

M1074 PLS Conversion Kit for GHQ HEMTT

This conversion kit converts one GHQ N95 HEMTT (NOT INCLUDED) into an M1074 Palletized Load System (PLS).

All parts in this kit are cast in Pewter.  Look at all the photos to see instrucitons on making the conversion.

The Palletized Load System (PLS) is a logistics supply program that entered service in the United States Army in 1993. It performs line haul (long distance), local haul (short distance), unit resupply, and other missions in the tactical environment to support modernized and highly mobile combat units. It provides rapid movement of combat configured loads of ammunition and all classes of supply, shelters and containers.

285th Scale WWII Government Building

285th Scale (6mm) WWII Government Building – 285CSS034

Rubbled WWII European government building, somewhat inspired by the Reichstag in Berlin. It is not a model of the Reichstag but I’ve been looking at a picture of The Reichstag to get some ideas for this model. I’m calling it “The FauxStag”.

Model is precision cut from the highest quality mat board (as used in the picture framing industry), this is not flimsy paper, this is stiff mat board. Model goes together quickly and easily using common white glue or “Tacky glue” and can be painted to any level of detail you desire or simply sprayed one color so you can get back to gaming.
