Finishing off the French starter set https://www.pendraken.co.uk/nbkc-fr-nfrench-starter-army-4278-p.asp
Just need a company commander stand now (and many other things).

Infantry


Get them lads!






Anti-tank guns, mortars and machineguns




Added suport is always good!


Badly sited mortars?


Truck and Panhard armoured car




Which way are we going?


Doesn't matter, the armoured car has a reverse driver!

Liking the infantry, especially the basing.  The mortar crews are brave (of deaf) being in front of the tubes!

Certainly not the drillbook position. Also having 2 ATG as close as those 25s would be frowned on. Excellent painting.

Knew there was a stand of French infantry missing, so here it is based up.

French command stand, with attached anti-tank rifle, as no one else needs them!


Bone jaw, my nome is...


'Allo! 'Allo!


The red top on their kepis is there, honest!


Two higher officers, an RTO, a staff car and an anti-tank rifle




The whole French force*.



*WHo am I kidding? Yes, it will inevitably grow.

Well done. Those bases look great as well.

Second French command stand for BKC


Calling all the heroes?


Had fun with the basing


Second Panzer II, loe this model.


Got to get some command teams at some point


Hot exhaust


Brrrmmm...


Oh, and esxtra hit markers!

I like the French command stand - a car always seems appropriate for these!

If you are taking photos of die holders, I really do think you are swerving painting caunter on your tanks!

Swerving, more like running away like Brave Sir Robin! 

Although I did find the official diagram for the paint scheme  vehicle in question last night.

Get on with it! It's just triangles of colour. In 10mm there is quite a bit of leeway. 

And it won't be as bad as Airfix using completely the wrong colours on their Matalida box for decades

Airfix:



Bovington:

I thought this had been throughly debunked as the colours. It's it Mike Starmer who has reserched and written on this topic?

I'm just pointing out that if Airfix have it wrong they're not the only ones.

Looks like Bovington have done a repaint

But they link to the Tamiya kit which is also in blue!
