Hi Peter,

You seem to have mislaid the loaders for your Vickers MGs - I think they may be the kneeling chaps leaning forward on the 3 right hand infantry stands?

I've only got a photo of the desert ones but it should give you an idea

Hi, the loaders for the vickers are being painted off the stand and will be added later, that way i can reach them better to apply the paint

The lyig down figures on the infantry stands are piat ammo carriers, the the trooper with the piat itself is again being held separate for ease of painting.

Oh good, glad to hear that you have them temporarily based for painting.

Yeah they are togheter with the 6 pounders, universal carriers and the jeep for the hq 

I must say i have visited your site a lot when i put my order togheter, nice pictures and a good read for anyone interested in gaming with the Brits!! Hat's tipped to you! 

It's firmly dug in my favourites :p

What rules are you planning on gaming with? Blitzkrieg Commander (BKC)?

Looking very good

Thank you, its always good to hear that its useful to others.

@Blaxkleric: They are based following the old BKC standard, and will be used to play BKC II .O enjoy that one very much, and think it gives a good game without slowing much down. I will have to look into playing earlier battles too though, as i've heard from various sources that the game is even more enjoyable in those periods, when there was less heavy material.

@ Fred: wich brings me to you, i am already watching your site for the afrika models on there :p. I doubted what i was going to do when i was making my order, and in the end went for normandy 44. Being a big fan of the cruiser tanks, i wanted to do DAK and 8 army too though. When i have ordered my russkies, i'll begin looking into them

So some progress on these chaps, finished the bases for my next batch of trees, finished some support and the hq and went back and changed up the camo on the shermans. I think they look much better now .







Let me know what you guys make of it

Looks really good Peter !
Cheers - Phil

2 new tanks got finished today, busy on some universal carriers and a FAO.

 

Coming along nicely. 

Lovely work! 

Thanks all!

I personally think i overdid it on the mud on these ones, but hey, they perform recon, they shouldn't stay on roads, but out of sight in the fields 

Funny that everyone works hard at muddy bases in 20th century, but nobody in wargaming history has ever bothered to do it for hoplites or ashigaru or dog soldiers. All of whom probably had to clean their boots at times too (metaphorically, before I'm overwhelmed by a load of cobblers).

Well it is harder to get a muddy finish on a 10mm guy's foot i guess
