Fire from Above!

 So I've managed to get 4 more models done. Hopefully, might get 3 more before the end of the year.

This time I've got my Wespes and Panzerbeobachtungswagen III completed.

The Wespes are Battlefront, while the Panzer III is Forged in Battle.

French Connection

 So I have just finished a large assembly and airbrushing job.

First out of this work are these German (previously French) FT tanks. Designed at the end of the First World War, these were used at the start of the Second World War by the French before being taken over by the Germans as booty tank (Beutepanzer). Here they were normally used for second line roles, such as airfield defense, training, dug in as bunkers and policing/anti-partisan actions. Once France was re-invaded by the Allies, a small number of these vehicles would end up caught up in the fighting.

These are Forged in Battle models and were on a good discount for Firestorm Games, so I picked them up more as a painting project than anything else. Two have Machine Guns and two have 37mm guns.

MILAN Rouge

So I have made some progress (and have managed to get some gloss varnish).

Firstly, 10 British MILAN teams for Team Yankee.

Secondly, I have repainted an old Lima Homepride box van into an LMS wagon. Thankfully Army Painter Cold Grey spray paint was a near perfect mid grey.

 

Limited progress

Due to a couple of issues (lack of matt varnish for one), I've struggled to make much progress this month.

However I have got ten minefields done, 5 for the Finn's and 5 for the Jordanian's.

Another Month, some progress

So it's been a busy month personal life and work wise, and I've largely been building german vehicles, including this Panzerbeobachtungswagen III (Panzer III artillery observer tank).

I have however got a couple of things actually painted!

Firstly, I built and painted a Dapol plastic cattle wagon kit. I don't model BR, so this will likely be given away to a friend who does at some point.

Secondly, I got 5 minefields painted for the desert.

Yet more updates!

My, I am treating you with the updates this month aren't I?

So I've been off this week, and have been using it to get a whole bunch of productive tasks done. Largely things around the home that I've been putting off for too long, however I've also been doing some wargaming painting as well.

As such, I've finished 5 more Battlefront Panzer III tanks (uparmoured ausf L variants) and built/painted 5 minefields out of old CDs.

Next is likely to be some later war German stuff, based on what's built.

Two in one week

Got some minor work on railway stuff done, so I thought I would post an update.

This barrels and milk churns are from Tinker Models, a small producer I found on eBay.

Really impressed with the quality of these and they threw in the barrels as a free sample on a £6 free postage order, so have to say I'm a happy customer.

Paint scheme is nothing special, but they were quick to paint up and look good.
