Welcome to Micro Armor Mayhem, a site devoted to modern micro scale models by makers such as GHQ, CinC, Scotia, Skytrex and Heroics & Ros.

What's New

May 14, 2012
OK, I've got my camera working again (its old and crappy, but does a good job taking pictures of micro armor in my unskilled hands)

A whole horde of new Soviet aircraft have been added -- ISM's SU-27, Mig-29, SU-25, plus a bunch of Mig-19s and Mig-21.  Also added the ISM F-105 Thunderchief for the US.  
I also updated the Warsaw Pact section -- it had previously mostly been empty

I've also completed GHQ's US MRAP Combat Team combat command, and the various and assorted models (plus shots of the full unit) are in the US section.

Finally, I added two H&R aircraft to the World War II Italy section, the CA310 and the BA65.

May 4, 2012
I've had some camera problems over the last two months, but I'm sorting them out, and should have a (very) large update in the next few weeks.  I've got an absolute ton of new models done, just awaiting the camera.  For now, I've added a few more models and done some reorganization and updating.  First, there is an update to the NATO 1989 OOB.  In addition, I've begun a Battlefield Accessories page, though it only has a few items on it so far.  I've also changed the Modern Sweden page to European Neutrals and have added a Swiss model.  Finally, I've added a few more models, including ISM's Sherman Crab and Bren to the NWE Europe page.

February 16, 2012
OK, I've expanded and changed the former section on 1/300 Nichimo aircraft.  It now includes a review of a number of plastic aircraft by a variety of manufactures, including Nichimo, Toko, F-Toys, and others, and is much larger.  In addition, I'll have a number of adds in coming months.

On the WWII side, I've added an absolutely horde of US models, including halftracks, artillery, tank destroyers, tanks, ISM P-47s and much more.  I've also added the first early war German models, GHQ's Stug IIIE, which will probably end up in a new section when I have more related models.  Also added are older GHQ Churchills for the Brits and the fine GHQ P-39 to the Soviet section, plus some Japanese aircraft.

On the modern side, the USMC section has now got the CinC F-14, the Nichimo F-8, and GHQ's massive and imposing LVT-5.  Beyond that are several marginal A-10s for the US, along with (yet) more Gamma Goats.  Also added a GHQ Tornado loaded with weapons for the UK.

February 13, 2011
Added a bunch of aircraft models that I had previously failed to post -- more G4Ms, the P1Y, several 1/300 Nichimo aircraft for the Japanese,

January 6, 2011
Alright, getting this update in early this month, to make up for the missed November update.  On the modern side, the big addition is the fantastic French AMX-10RC from GHQ, and the far less good Scotia model.  Plus all sorts of US M113s and M60s, along with a variety of support vehicles.  Also a nice compare and contrast between GHQ and CinC M163 SPAA guns.   Also added GHQ (I think...) and CinC KrAZ Soviet heavy trucks.

On the World War II side, there are a veritable Red Horde of new Soviet models added to the lone T-35 that was previously there -- including GHQ's SU-76, KV-1S, JS-2, T-34/76, T-70, and CinC's SU-100.

In addition, there are photos of my new WWII US Infantry Regiment, made with a variety of GHQ figures.  The support weapons will be coming shortly.  Also included are CinC's M24 Chaffee, GHQ's M16 SPAA, and GHQ's M20.

December 12, 2011
A bit delayed this month (well, very delayed...)
Lots of new World War II models -- mainly US:  M24 Chafee, Dukw, M4A3E2 Jumbo, ISM M4A3E8, M16 AA halftrack, and M26 heavy tanks.   Plus CinC's 40mm bofors for the UK.

On the modern side, there are a bunch of UK models -- various FV432s, more Abbots, the mighty Conqueror, GHQ's Scimitar, and the Cymbeline radar vehicle.  For the US, CinC's M110A2, assorted radio HMMWVs, CinC M60A1, and Jeeps with TOWs.  For the FRG, GHQ's Jagdpanzer Kanone.  For France, CinC's VAB 4x4 and AMX30.

October 19, 2011
On the modern side, a number of Soviet models -- IMR engineering vehicles, BT4M entrenching vehicle, 2S1 122mm SP, SA-13, GHQ MT-LB and GHQ Gaz-66.  PBV302 for Sweden, plus Type 63 light tank for the PRC.  Also a number of HMMWVs, GHQ's A-10, and UH-1 for the US, and many FRG models, including the PAH-2 helicopter, assorted Unimog and Man trucks, GHQ infantry and some more Fuchs.  

Most of the action this time is on the WWII front -- including the first continental Europe German models, including Panthers and Tigers, many UK trucks painted up for European service, and the first of the WWII Soviet models -- the outstanding T-35 from GHQ.

September 26, 2011
US WWII M3 Lees, M4 Shermans, and M8 Greyhounds, UK M3 Grants, a Fairey Albacore, and several types of field artillery.

On the modern side, there is the excellent new GHQ AMX-VCI for the French, the ISM A-6 for the USMC, the Vietnam-era Cadillac Gage Commando and the GHQ F-16 for the US, and Tornados for Italy, Germany, and France.  Also CinC Jaguars for France.

August 12, 2011
Numerous new models added.  In the 2nd World War section, there are Humber Mk IVs for the UK.  For the Germans, various PzIVF1, PzIVF2, and PZIIIJ, plus assorted SdKfz-251s.  For the Japanese, Te-Ke Tankettes and several types of late war self-propelled guns.  For the US, a horde of excellent M3 halftracks, a jeep, and the M29 Weasel.

On the modern side, a Skytrex Merkava has been added for the Israelis, plus assorted Main Force Miniatures infantry for the US along Skytrex M163s and a badly done M728 CEV.  For the USMC, there are more and varied GHQ LAVs, plus a PACV SRN5 from Skyraider.  For the UK, an M109 SP gun, many more Spartans, Centurion AVREs and a Challenger 1 with minerollers.  The Italians get an Aspide missile system.  

The big addition is the first of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force models from Scotia.  The line is reasonably well developed, but the models are not great.

July 20, 2011
A horde of new M1s of various makes, from the excellent to the wretched.  For the US, I've added GHQ's M1A2, M1A2 with mine plow, M1A2 TUSK, more CinC M1s, and several UK-made M1 models.  I've also added several M548 tracked supply vehicles from various UK manufacturers and a UK-made M551 and M901.  For the UK, I've added the Skytrex Scorpion, Bedford MK and Improved Centurion, along with a CinC M110A1.

On the WWII side, I've added 3.7mm AA guns and several types of prime movers for the DAK, along with a rather unique Italian truck from Pewtercraft.

June 13, 2011
A slew of new models this month.  Many new Israeli models (including some finished a while ago, but never posted).  These include Skytrex's Ben Gurion and L33, ISM's L-33 SP gun, CinC's Merkava, and a number of others.  I've also finally completed a number of GHQ M1A1s and M1A2s for the US, some even with all there machine guns.  There are also models with GHQ's mine plow and with GHQ's NATO chevron decals.   For the USMC and the USN, I've added the Skytrex F-14A.  There are also more Chieftains, Challengers and Centurions from the Brits, and an Aeronavale F-8 for the French.

For the World War Two armies, I've added some very vintage (like late 60s or early 70s) Italian tanks.  For the Germans, I've added Armstrong Models' excellent DFS Glider, perhaps for a Malta assault game.  The UK gets some Hawker Tempests and a Fairey Barracuda, while there are several aircraft added for the Imperial Japanese, the first of many.

I've made a change in the way I'm painting models these days.  I'm now using a light brown wash of regular acrylic paint for dirtying up the running gear for vehicles, then using a dark umber ink over the whole model.  While it looks odd at times in the close up photos, it looks quite good from a distance.

May 10, 2011
I'm now working on microarmor in earnest -- I've gotten over 200 models built and painted in the last month.  There should be regular updates over the next month.  I've added the first (of many) US WWII models.  I've also started adding some of the very ancient GHQ models I acquired last year, most notably a slew of Matilda IIs and Bren Carriers.  For the Desert Brits, there are also a variety of other models, including a Bishop SPG, Humber ACs, a badly done GHQ M3 Grant, a CinC Crusader, and a Quad carrier.

On the modern side, I've added shots of many US vehicles, including AVLBs, M60s of various stripes, CinC M2s, Skytrext M106s, and more CinC M1s.

Also note that the new advertiser above -- Noble Knight Games, a great gaming resource and a stockist of the GHQ line.

February 20, 2011
After another long pause, I'm back to collecting and painting microarmor.  A brief explanation:  I looked at my collection at the end of last summer, and realized that I had something on the order of 1500 vehicles and 125 aircraft unpainted.  A big part of these came from a pair of massive eBay lots I won two years ago (and they were shockingly cheap).  Many of the newly acquired pieces, plus others, were duplicates of those that I already had.  I decided to cease purchasing additional models for a year so I could work on the backlog.  I have made some progress, but the downside is that I was mainly painting and basing vehicles already on this site.  I still have six months to go on my "no new models" buying vow.  

That said, I have a fair collection of new additions to the site, and hope to have more over the coming months.  Among the new adds:  CinC's T-10M for the Soviets, along with the Katyusha, Scotia's IT-122, IT-130, KS-30 130mm AA gun, Vasilek automortar, a custom BMP-1K, and a horde of H&R Soviet Infantry.  For the UK, there is GHQ's 105mm Light Gun and Pritzi prime mover, Lightning fighters, several Armstrong Models heavy trucks and some wretched Viking Chinooks.  I've also added WWII French H&R Inf, modern French AMX-10RC uparmored, a Dutch NF-5A, modern Chinese, an Israeli 160mm SP mortar, and finally, a horde of DAK Germans.

August 11, 2010
I've been taking much of the summer off to deal with other pursuits, but I'm now back at it...
The big addition is GHQ's LCAC, in the USMC section, a truly impressive model.  I've also posted another gamer's build of the model.  
Also, I've added a bunch of the newer Armstrong models -- including WWII Italians and Brits, along with the first of the Modern Chinese.  
I've also posted an updated TerritorialHeer OOB and another file detailing command and HQ units in the West German military.
Finally, John Allen has kindly sent me shots of his amazing North Africa terrain, which deserves its own section.

May 18, 2010
Just got the excellent and shockingly comprehensive guide to the West German Territorial Army in 1989.  A fantastic work of research.

April 8, 2010
Its been a while, but there is a lot to add...
First, the new models -- a whole horde of Polish 1939 infantry, cavalry, vehicles, and artillery.  Also, a variety of UK aircraft, including the massive Vulcan B.2.  I've painted up the USAF B-2 bomber, another massive model, plus GHQ's M114.  Also added the 65mm mountain gun for the WWII French Army, GHQ T-62s, GHQ Uaz-469 with B-11 RR and ISM BRDM-2s for the Soviets.  

Additionally, there are a several significant additions to the ISM page -- an old ISM catalog and a newer one, both showing the extent of the range.  In addition, Andy Kirk has compiled a comprehensive Excel file listing the full range of ISM models based on a variety of sources.

I've also uploaded a newer, expanded version of the NATO 1989 OOB, fleshing out the Bundeswehr and US OOBs, along with many other changes.

Finally, Leva Productions, manufacturers of an extensive range of buildings and fortifications are back in business, and have sent me there most recent catalog.  They're making new masters and casting new models, which is excellent news.

January 29, 2010
Happy Belated New Year!
A number of new models have been added -- many USMC models, including various AAAVP-7s and M60A3s.  For the US Army section are several Vietnam era helicopters from GHQ, the CH-34 and CH-21 -- absolutely impressive models -- plus the ISM "M60A4" Tank company and its component elements, GHQ's Scorpion, and CinC A-10 Warthog.  For the Soviets, I've added a slew of shots of the various ISM T-34/85s, plus another BRDM.  I've also added various shots of Imperial Japan's Type 2 Ka-Mi tank.

More importantly, I've done a significant update to the ISM section -- adding photos for about 30 models.

December 2, 2009
A slew of FAVs added for the US, from both ISM and Scotia, along with the (apparently fictional) Setter SAM systems and the HMMWV C3I.
For the Soviets, CinC's BRDM-2 and BMP-2, ISM's BTR-80 Command, along with more variations of CinC's T-80 and GHQ's T-80

November 17, 2009
Lots of new stuff...
First and foremost, the insanely comprehensive Bundeswehr 1989 OOB.  It is in German, but easy to understand, and a truly amazing document.  See the box on the left.

Also have added more Leo 1s and 2s for the FRG, an ISM M577 and Man 5-Ton, plus another GHQ Fuchs, all part of a recently painted up Panzer Brigade.  For the USSR, there are T-34/85s from CinC and GHQ and T-64s from ISM, plus an SU-27.  In the USMC section, there's GHQ's excellent V-22 Osprey, plus the ISM S3 Viking and A4 Skyhawk.  In the US section, I've added CinC's excellent F-15 and F-16.

Another massive update.  There are a number of new France 1940 models, including 47mm AT guns, Somuas, H-39s, and other, some with GHQ's decal set.  For WWII Italians, numerous aircraft from PT Dockyard and Leading Edge Miniatures have been added, along with 47mm AT guns, 20mm AT guns, Semovente 47s, and Dovunque medium trucks.
On the modern side, there's a large number of new US models -- a GHQ Stryker Combat Command, along with US infantry in desert uniforms.  Also added unpainted models of the B-2 and the YF-23 from Gamecraft Miniatures.  For the UK, there's many Chieftains, Centurions, Ferrets, Stalwarts, Land Rovers, and others, plus the AS90 SP gun.  Also added are the new GHQ T-72s to the Soviet section, an excellent model.

July 24, 2009
OK, up now is perhaps the largest update the site has ever had.  First, there are a ton of new France 1940 models, incuding artillery pieces and various armored vehicles.  Also, lots more Desert War Brits, including 2lbers, tanks, armored cars, and Brens.  For the Italian desert armies, there are CR42 Falcos.

On the modern side, numerous French armored vehicles including AM8 trucks, EBR armored cars, AMX-13 DCAs, plus other AMXs.  For the US, an ISM dump truck and recovery vehicles, two versions of the GOER, Roland SP, and ADATs.  For the Soviets, SA-6 launchers and radar tracks.

April 17, 2009
Sorry for the late update...  I've added a number of new models, including many Italian and UK WWII models.  Also added:  a number of ISM USMC models and GHQ's BM-21 to the USSR section.  Also, there are now 1/300 scale models available from a company from Hong Kong (just search 1/300 cars on eBay).  They are dirt cheap (100 for $9), and look pretty good.  One of the three models:


February 25, 2009

A bunch of new models added, including a pair from Armstrong Models.  I've added two new sections (WWII Germans and WWII Brits), though they have only a few models so far.  I've also added three new Nichimo aircraft and a CinC F-18 to the USMC section.  Also added another Puma for France (with I-94 decals), a Mig-21 for Poland in the Warsaw Pact section, several Greek models, and an H&R SA-8 for the Soviets.

January 30, 2009
With the help of Andrew Kirk and Tim Gow, I've significantly expanded the ISM section, with pictures of more than 30 new models.  In addition, once I get my camera sorted out, I'll have about 10 more of recent eBay acquisitions.

January 3, 2009
Happy New Year!

Numerous new Greek models added, along with both CinC and GHQ's BRDM-2/AT-5 vehicles on the Soviet page.  For the US, I've added shot's of GHQ's excellent M151 Jeep w/TOW.

I've also added a third WWII army -- the Imperial Japanese.  They're all GHQ models at this point, and good ones.  I have some Nichimo aircraft in the works.

Also, be sure to check out Armstrong  Models -- the fastest growing line of micro armor out today.  If you're interested in unusual WWII vehicles, they've got what you are looking for.  Look for painted up examples of some of their new models on these pages in the next few months.

Just a quick update between the holidays...

Finally, I am now working to promote new micro armor makers on the site.  The first advert is from Armstrong Miniatures, a new maker of WWII models.  I have their Italians, and the quality is quite good.

January 7, 2008
Happy New Year!
Ok, I've been putting off this update for quite a while.  Between work (how long is this presidential primary process, anyway?) and the holidays, there has not been a great deal of time.
That said, there are a significant number of models in this update.  For the USSR, there is the SA-4 SAM and SA-4 Reload vehicle from Scotia, AT-T tractor from CinC, AT-T recovery vehicle from Scotia, S-60 and ZPU-4 AA guns from GHQ, and SS-20 from CinC.   West German models added:  MLRS, CinC M577, TAM Mortar, others.  US:  CinC M578, M247 DIVADS, CinC Dump Truck, different versions of the M2 and M109, CinC's M48A5 and more.  Also added:  ASPIDE (under Italy) and S-Tank (Sweden), France (SA341 Gazelle and Crotale) plus several UK models.

Just a quick note to say that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth... I've been rather busy with real life lately, and have had only limited time for micro armor.  I'm getting back into it now, though, and will have more updates soon, including several battle reports and information on a new manufacturer.  Longer term, I'm putting together a database of micro scale decals suitable for modern use.
April 16, 2007
OK, taxes are done and a minor update has been added.  A large number of models have been added to the ISM section, along with several new Greek and FRG units.
