6mm Scale
Aliases: 1/285, 1/300, Micro Armor
Main Manufacturers: GHQ, C in C, Skytrex, Heroics and Ros, and Irregular?
It only took me about 6 months of gaming with Micro Armor to realize I didn't like it so much. Trying to paint them was a little too tedious. I did work out a few things that help. This is a "spray paint scale, meaning a spray can helps you out immensely. I usually painted the wheels, tracks, and all that, but never got into detail painting them. This scale is excellent for those who have little space, or time to paint, as well as those with thin wallets. The thing I remember the most is having to constantly touch them up, especially barrels, which bend too easy. The scale is okay, just not for me.
