Substitute Stug

 Well it's been a while since my last update. It has unfortunately been a busy month, both work and personal-wise, which has limited the painting. Nevertheless, I have got some stuff done.

First are 4 more Stug IV for my Flames of War German's. These were designed as a substitute for the Stug III on the Panzer IV chassis. They were put into production as one of the factories building Stug IIIs had been badly damaged in an air raid. These were then produced until the end of the war, with over 1000 being built.

The models are from Forged in Battle and means I now have 8 of these available.

Secondly, I have also finished these 20mm British Gun Crew. These are from the Airfix vintage Bren Carrier and 6 Pounder set, I bought as a railway load. I decided to paint these up anyway in case I needed them, with a simple paint job. They are not great figures, especially the kneeling crew who are noticeably over scale.
