Old School Transport

This one has been around a while, no major mods by me, bar adding the reigns. Had a disaster with the picture session, but you'll get the idea! 

Neil, all boxed, will post early next week.

"Super" Pershing & Painters Block!

No mojo for painting this weekend, which is very frustrating as I have several commissions just shy of going out.

In an effort to be productive I decided to up detail some Battlefront Pershings. There are three to a boxed set so I decided to updetail two super sherman configurations and then a slightly less detailed up armoured Pershing.  Several mods here, most notably the modification  of the front suspension on the main Pershing, due to the sheer amount of armour being added. 

Hopefully the rest of the mods should be obvious :o) 

These are "fun" for me so will need new homes on completion, but they will take their place in the queue !

EDIT:  as always something crops up! now changed all the hanging track "sideways" rather than vertical whihc is more in keeping with the period pics.

20mm SU 12

Had this one on the bench for a while, unfortunately "one-offs" are at the mercy of similar commissions going through, and its was coupled with a two part build! This is a 20mm kit from UM and is really quite nice! there are two fully detailed metal crew dremmelled into the cab, you can just about see them!

Some WIP shots ....

This is at the two part stage; the cab has been built, painted and weathered, along with the two crew, you can see interior colour around the window frames. Essentailly once this bit is done and assembeld you start again with the colours!

As always, full photoshoot on my flickr

Universal Section

Universal carrier section, more from Warlord. Spent some time on these getting the right stowage and look for Normandy, hence the addition of aerial recognition panels, not much top surface on these!

I'm sure bolt-action used to have some crew for these?

I have some more coming through, Mortar, HMG, AOP and lastly one with wading skirts!

 

 

 

Tinkering with... Sdkfz 251/17 - revisited

Its been a while, been busy with work and not so much play, loads uploaded into my flickr gallery nothing much here. Hopefully I can reset the balance.

The conversion of Warlords 251/c into the /17 has progressed, I have added the long awaited mesh treadplate, added some rifle racks, shell case cage and some odds and sods and ta da.....

 

finished tinkering for now, its now in the shed being undercoated, next decision panzer grey or dunkelgelb?
 

PSC Shermans - Little Beauties

Following on from my earlier post, here is the final results of the PSC Sherman up detailing.

I am disappointed with my pictures as they don't show the details that well, all have light protectors and extra detailing on the stowage, oh well..... Figures are a mix of Peter Pig and Skytrex ( before the 50% price hike!) and hybrids of the both. The recovery is Skytrex with mods.

and a reminder of their humble beginnings

Normandy Vignettes

 

 

Three 20mm Vignettes. These use Milicast vehicles, AB figures and The Kings Armourer bases.  I'm happy with the results, but this one took an age to finish, the vehicles were particularly fiddly and would swap out with Dragon kits where available. As always there are a few areas I can improve on, but thats for the next set. Everything is pinned to the bases so they just about survived their trip to Australia.

 

Currently working on that Large 28mm Noramndy Commission in time for Salute, its looking impressive so far!
