Donkey Wallopers

 So I've finished my platoon of British Armoured Cars, 2 Daimlers and 2 Dingos. 

 These are the new Battlefront plastic models, and they've come out really well. I deviated slightly from the Battlefront instructions and managed to model the second crewman in the Dingo cabins, rather than just the one. This  really helps them look more realistic, as the Dingo had a Driver and a Commander/Gunner, for a two man crew.



These armoured cars will replace my old QRF made armoured cars, which I painted a few years ago. You can see these below:

Leading the Assault

So another platoon of models has been painted, 4 ISU-122 Assault Guns. These were pretty easy to paint, other than markings which had to be freehanded as the transfers didn't cover numbers 70 to 73. They've still come out pretty well though.



 
In addition this month, I've done some work for the railway and put together the Superquick Watertower/Weighbridge kit.


Next up is a replacement Armoured Car Platoon for my North West Europe British, using the new plastic Battlefront models. With the more detailed models and the new paint job (the last set were painted a while ago, and I've improved since then), these should be good replacements for the old platoon.
