First up: Pendraken 81mm mortar in a Timecast gunpit









Colour is a bit washed out as I'm still figuring out how to get good pictures on my phone.

Next: an over-exposed SdKfz251-2 (Arrowhead vehicle/Pendraken crew)





Bit disappoinrted about the outline of the decals. Next time I'll try out the Humbrol Decalfix I bough after finishing these.

Third: Arrowhead PzKpfw IV H/Js





These were 'finished' years ago, but I've now added the side skirts.

Lastly: Grilles (Minifigs on the right/Pendraken on the left. with Minifigs and Pednraken artillery crew)









A good example of different manufactures having different sizes for 10mm. I fairly certain these are both the Grille H variant.

I prefer the Pendraken one. but it does look a bit flat.

Nice work. I'm not sure those are meant to be the same model, I think the PD one is the Grille H, but I think the MF one might be meant to be the K?

I think you're right. I had a look at some pictures of both variants, and the Minifigs one is more like the K. I think the superstructure ought to be further back though.

However, they are both the same in BKC terms :D

I think these are the other way around? Minifigs left and Pendraken right? Unless you swapped the crew around on them?

Good work on those, I like the dusty and battered look of them.

Yep - blame it on me having a senior moment....  :-[

3 of the four crew are Minifigs (I think) with one of them starting life in the infantry, but had his weapon removed and replaced with a shell casing :)
