Thx guys!

If all goes well and i can keep up the pace i should have some more finished by the end of the week. Still deciding on what though, acw union, rebels, or german army for normandy/late eastern front.

Any suggestions ? I'm thinking germans to stay in line with this project, maybe a little infantry to go with the tanks and 88's that i have already finished, so i have a small force to get a few solo games in.

Yep, go Germans so that you can get some games in.

За Родину!

Goed bezig voor het moederland, Pjotr!

:D

Hoewel een paar slogans op de tanks het natuurlijk altijd goed zouden doen...
Title: Re: Finished russian battlegroup for bkcII (late eastern front)
Post by: petercooman on 10 July 2013, 08:18:28 PM
Ja de slogans zouden er goed opstaan, maar ik kan echt niet defteg schrijven met het peseel. Ik heb het al dikwijls geprobeerd maar het lukt nooit  :'(

Maar alsek ooit een defteg setje decals vind komen ze er zeker op!!

Nice work, Peter. If you are looking for slogans (and I'm guessing here, I don't really read Dutch) dare I say that Pithead do Russian tank slogan decals. Haven't seen them yet, but when I do I'll let you know if they're any good.
Title: Re: Finished russian battlegroup for bkcII (late eastern front)
Post by: petercooman on 10 July 2013, 09:34:36 PM
Yeah the dutch post was about slogans ;)

I'll have a check on them right away!

thanks for the intel and the nice words ;)

I-94 do slogans in 6mm and 15mm rather annoyingly, but some of them may still be usable.

It's hard to see the image properly, but this is the 6mm sheet:

Looks fairly small to me, but if someone has some examples, please show!!


Btw as spoken about earlier on, half of the german infantry is based, prepped and ready for painting :D

Leon, look away now :)

I have the Pithead Russian decals - pairs of numbers for two dozen tanks and pairs of slogans for about the same number. Four of the slogans are done in red for your snow camo vehicles.

They look good to me but I've still to apply any.

Thx for the info.

I am waiting if someone has pics of the I_94 versions on pendraken minis though.

When you said you'd broken the curse you weren't kidding, were you?  молодцом !

Ha yes, trying to get stuff painted.

See i made this rule, to not buy any new battlegroups before i finish off another one.

These russians where the last to finish the battlegroup. I also have about 20 tanks/vehicles left with wich to finish my british and german battlegroups.

So if i finish those i have 3 battlegroups done allowing me to get 3 new battlegroups, and as a mere coincidence i need british paras and american paratroops, and then i'm still doubting if i should get regular americans or some models fo a zombie game (with techno's new zombies)

Actually who am i kidding, even if i didn't need anything, i'd buy a new battlegroup anyway  :D :D

Nice additions also proving my theory that no battlegroup is ever finished or complete  ;)

Peter,

These are the Pithead decals mentioned above.

Not sure the red slogans really work on dark green.

Because those are for white washed winter cammo vehicles?

White decals look nice, though. Молодец!

Edit: As has been said in an earlier post!
