All,

Well, like it says on the tin, here's all my WWII German vehicles.  I painted some of these myself (I'm sure it will be obvious which!), but the vast majority were painted by others, either by my buddy Dustin, or from unknown individuals on Ebay.


Here's my collection for early to mid-war in Europe, sporting panzer gray.  There's a Sdkfz 250, four 251s (one is of the engineer variety), two Sdkfz 222s, a 231, a Marder I, three Panzer Is (one is of the HQ variety), three Panzer IIs, one Panzer IV with short 75, four Panzer IIIs with 37mm gun, two Stug IIIs with short 75, two Panzer IVs with long 75, two Panzer IIIs with long 50mm, and two Stug IIIs with long 75.


The early war HQ halftrack.


And how about some kradschutzen?  I bought these already painted off a guy on Ebay, but re-based them.  I've got some for Afrika Korps, too, that I painted myself.


Vehicles for Afrika Korps and Sicily/Italy.  Three stands of motorcycle troops, a Sdkfz 222, a Panzer IV with short 75, two Panzer IVs with long 75s, and three Panzer IIIs.


A pair of Pz IVGs with long 75mm gun that I painted.


My late war stuff:a Sdkfz 250, six Sdkfz 251s (three regular troop carriers, one engineer model, a flamethrower model, and a model mounting the PaK-40), a pair of trucks, a Sdfkz 234 Puma, a Hetzer, a Marder III, two Stug-IIIs with long 75s and sideskirts, two Panzer IVHs with long 75s and sideskirts, a Jagdpanther, a Panther, a Tiger, and a King Tiger.  The only thing I painted in this entire mess is the Panther.


The Panther, painted by yours truly.  Yes, if it looks goofy, it's because I painted it with Contrast paints.  It's not beautiful, but it doesn't look too bad, to me.  My knucklehead 15-year old son built this for me, but glued the turret down...

So, quite a bit of heavy metal for ze Chermans, with more on the way (a Sdkfz 251/9 with short 75mm gun, and a Sdfkz 250/9 with 20mm gun in a Sdkfz 222 turret).  I'm sure something else will pop up, but overall I think I'm pretty ready for whatever may come in 28mm WWII for the Germans.

Excellent
The 38ts are beautiful and the camo is bang on. The lack of markings might mean the crew covered up the early white crosses that were used as targets by Polish anti tank gunners!

Tthat is a great collection of armour there Jack, so plenty of choice for your games, which is of course a good thing !

That is a lot of big vehicles!   I feel I need to get more smaller ones to have proportionate forces now!

I like the look of the Panther - the three colour camo looks more in the tones I'd expect than some of the others, where the yellow is quite vivid. Perhaps a light brown wash on them would tone things down a bit. 

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

Lemmey - For the life of me I can't find any gray-brown-sand German Panzer 38s; plenty of gray, some gray and brown, some dunkelgelb (more of a beige, really, done early war around Kharkov, apparently), and dunkelgelb-green-brown using the standard late war camo, but in Ukraine in 1942.

Steve - Indeed

Fred - Good point on the wash, but I'm not too bothered by them.  Well, except the Tiger I and the halftracks' interiors...

V/R,
Jack

Had a look at the blog as well. 

I've not seen grey/sand/brown camo before. There was certainly a grey/brown camo in very early war, which in B&W photos is very hard to spot as the brown looks very much the same shade as grey in monochrome. 

That Tiger is certainly vivid - when yellow is used, in Dunkel Gelb its much more a sandy or greeny yellow than vivid Simpsons yellow!

There are a few helmets that look super bright too - dark green is good for early war, dark grey also. Bright green and bright yellow - not really. 

Fred,

Yeah, not seen nor heard of sand and gray camo, but again, I'll just use them as generic OpFor, if I get into those areas.

Yeah, forgot that some of the helmets are goofy colors too, need to fix that.
