Yes two mini turrets on the A9. Is only 1 on the master as you are going to cast the turret separately then attach it to the final production master?

This ^^^.  I should probably have put that in the initial post as well.  It's pretty tricky to sculpt two turrets exactly the same, so just one is done to save time.

I had better start saving for July then as Squirrel has done a great job on those two
I do hope he will continue his fine work

That's a relief as I'm was trying to catch up on the painting mountain in June and not buy anything new until July.

I'll only need a couple of models won't I.  There's A9s for my BEF and A10s for my early Western Desert. But then I'll need A10s for France as well....and they still used A9s in the desert.......and I'll need CS versions as well..................

Greetings

Looking good.  By July I might actually have time to paint some for my 1940 desert operations ...

I'll need 4-5 A9s and 2-3 A10s in due course and I imagine I'll be able to scratchbuild the 3.7in CS for the A10 CS.

Shouldn't need to do that, just add a sleve to the Barrel. An old trick with the Airfix Crusader was to fit 6pdr gun to the 2pdr turret.

Very nicely done Squirrel 

Just to update, these have arrived at Pendraken HQ, and we're hoping to get them into a mould tomorrow.  There may even be a small number available for anyone lucky enough to be at Triples this weekend!   

Nice painted model.

Some great VBCW vehicles there

Just finishing the backlog so good timing for me

I saw the samples of these at the Triples, they looked fantastic, I'll be getting some soon. Althought I'm not convinced by Daves "exotic" green paintjob!!

You wanna see the one he tried to paint luminous pink tonight then...!   

We picked this up at Triples from Mark at Under The Bed.  This one comes in two variants, the first is the troop transport version, the second is the artillery tow:

In this last batch of figures we picked up from Snafu, we've got some additions for the Russians, Brits and the German WW2 ranges.

For the Russians, we've got a standard bearer and SMG in pilotka caps, and also a 50mm mortar:




For the Brits, we've got a handy Early War Vickers team:




And finally, number 6 on the Requests lists, the Early German Anti-tank Rifle!

Photos?

Thanks for the kind comments guys. My first attempts at this kind of thing, so I'm quite pleased with how they turned out.

Cheers,

Kev

Great work by Snafu, those early war vickers teams are definitely on my list!

Cheers,

Kev

Those are really good I don't think I'm going to be able to resist the early war/Operation Sealion project for much longer

Cheers,

Kev

Are there going to be any other prone or atleast kneeling figures in the early German range as I've said before it looks a bit daft with one prone figure on a base with a bunch of others running around.

Very nice! I'll be needing some of those.
Just a question though, what sort of size do you sculpt the masters? Are they 3-ups or the same size as production models?
