Vintage GHQ + Prep cleaning minis!

I just got an order of some discounted GHQ. Some of them are pretty old but the sculpts are still good looking so I don't mind. So let me give you an overview of the minis I got then I'll show you how I prep clean my minis using an ultrasonic cleaner.

2 packs of German Raketenpanzer. Iltis jeeps, and Leopard II A4's. Russian BRDM 1 Swatter and Zil 57k fuel truck. Finally American LVTP-7's.

 Lets have a closer look at the LVTP-7s!

Right out of the blister. Two turrets and one other piece. I don't know what it is!

 So this is the ultrasonic cleaner. Just add water and a bit of soap then set it for the maximum time.

In the tank with just enough water to cover the minis.

Adding some soap!

It will froth with many tiny bubbles cleaning the minis very efficiently.

Here they are set on a cloth to dry before being painted. If you have any more questions about prepping minis ask away!

Order from Gamecraft Miniatures

Good day. Its Thursday. I received TWO packages today! The first one we will look at is from Allen Rockwell at gcmini.com This order came in record time I must say. The box even had some candy in it!

 Candy!

 I got these awesome project boxes. They stack so I can save some desk space.

I put together the first set. 

Besides the sweet boxes I got an add on pack for Test of Honour, some 6 sided dice, and some GHQ miniatures.

Russian T-80 and BMP2 box.

 Russian GAZ Tigrs.

Russian BM-27 Urugans

Thanks to Allen and Gamecraft miniatures! Check back tomorrow for the breakdown of the package I got from Baccus!

Ok, lets have a look at what you get in the box with GHQ's American Anti-Tank Company! Wow! Look at all this stuff!

It comes with a storage box which is a wonderful addition!

 How to use the storage box.

 Some info on the units I ordered

A catalog for GHQ

Also included some rules for the minis.

Alright! A lot of stuff has been going on. I got several orders so expect a few posts over the next few days. First up is the Anit-Air units. I got a pack of Linebackers and Vulcans.

The Linebackers are an anti-air version of the Bradley. I haven't stuck the stingers on these yet but they go in that little hole on the turret.

 Based in white since I'm doing a sand theme. 

Basecoat is Middlestone from Vallejo.

Anti-air version of the M113. 

My GHQ M1A1 Abrams arrived. Enjoy some pics of them fresh out of the pack, They have a bit of flashing and some extra bits.

 Incredible detail for such a small miniature.

Im Excited to get the M113's I ordered from CinC. There models cost a lot less so if they have good detail I think I'll go CinC. These 5 models from GHQ cost about $14 USD including shipping. The M113s I orderd cost $4.50 USD including shipping.

Happy Wednesday! Just wanted to throw up a quick post about my new projects. I'm hoping to get into Micro Armor and build some armies. I ordered a set of M1A1 Abrams from GHQ and some M113's from C in C. I wanted to go with the cheaper option but I think I'll go with the best quality. Still looking for a rules set to play Micro Armor with, if you know any good ones shoot me a message. Also ordered a few board games from coolstuff inc since they are having a big sale, so expect some pics and maybe some unboxings of those.
