Goods Shed

 I've built something more for the railway. This is the Superquick Goods Shed Kit, with some additional work. I've done:

- Painted the bare card edges.

- Added additional white brick internal coverage at the ends which the kit didn't cover.

Tank Killers

Today's update is 4 SU-100s, bringing my total of these up to 10 (2 Platoons of 5). Enough for a Medium Self Propelled Artillery Company!

These are Battlefront's plastic SU-100 kit. They've been painted in my standard soviet scheme (green), which is fairly quick and easy to do.




Next up is probably more Soviets, in this case 10 more T-34s which are on the painting table at the moment.

Roman Officers

For my collegue Allan's retirement I painted up two Roman Officers for his Roman Army. Now he's left, I can post them up!

 These are from Warlord Games Hail Caesar range and can be found below.




Last of the KVs

So this week I have finish 4 KV-85s. These were the last development of the KV series of tanks, mounting an 85mm gun in an improved turret. Further development would lead to this turret being mounted on a new hull as the IS-1 tank.

These models were bought second hand and where from an unknown source. I'm not sure of the manufacturer (They could be eBay recasts) but the resin isn't great and they don't take paint well even with washing before priming. Also the gun barrels arn't great either and would benefit with being replaced at some point (I'm out of 85mm guns at the moment).

Even more annoyingly the KV-85 has been removed from Flames of War with V4. However I've painted the tanks up anyway (I have no other heavy tanks at present) and will probably use them as stand in IS-1s for the moment, hoping the KV-85 will be added back in at some point with a website article.

Due to all this I've gone for a simple paint scheme so they were at least a quick job!
