All,
Well, it's two weeks to the day since receiving my package full of lead from Pendraken. I've busted my butt, spending way too much time cleaning, assembling, basing, priming, painting, washing, and flocking (aggravating my wife and kids in the process!), but I have completed everything that came in the box! And wanted to show it off with a whole bunch of pictures; and I'll apologize up front, the quality of the pics is a bit uneven in places, but those are the breaks when you get home from work a little late and the sunlight is failing.

So, what did I do? I sprung for two almost identical Cold War armies in 10mm, from Pendraken Miniatures in the UK. Per side, I built a 10-vehicle tank company, a 10-vehicle mechanized infantry company with a company command stand, three platoon command stands, nine rifle stands, three recoiless rifle stands, three heavy machine gun stands, and three medium mortar stands, 3-4 vehicle reconnaissance platoon with a platoon command stand, two rifle stands, an HMG stand, and a recoiless rifle stand, a three-vehicle tank destroyer platoon, a 2-3 vehicle heavy mortar platoon, an anti-aircraft gun, and a battalion command stand.

Jack, That is quite an accomplishment and a very impressive set of armies. I commend you on being able to paint numbers with such consistency! I never can and long ago gave up trying! Seeing your efforts makes me want to bump my post war US vs. Russian armies to the front!
Again, well done,
Terry
Cracking fast work, they look very good - now, how quickly can you get them on table?!
just went through the whole photos :o mind boggling how you've done those so quick and lots of extra detail, afv commanders, extra mg's etc.
Mucho Kudos!
Time to get them on the table and blow some sh*t up!
Very impressive and done so quickly. Puts most of us to shame I would have thought.
Great work Jack! Nicely done.
As above :)
Good job
Take care
Andy
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the kind words, it's helps keep me motivated. And I'm motivated to get the war started and get these bad boys on the table, though I'm not sure I can manage it this weekend, may have to be the following. We'll see; rest assured, the batreps will be posted here either way!
V/R,
Jack
Very impressive !! (Could have sworn I commented on these yesterday. 8-}...gibber)
