From DallasE: Tentage and Stowage (30 points)

OK, so this week we're wheeling out some more oldies - some tentage that's been sitting unpainted for nearly 15 years. I got this set in a trade I think, it came with a bunch of sandbag walls that were themselves painted years ago, but I never got around to the tents.

Man they were easy to paint too - prime back and a basecoat of XV-88, drybrushed up with a couple of lighter tones. I reckon they'll be good for pretty much anything from the Great War onwards, and maybe even earlier, if you just use the smaller windowless wall tents.


As far as points, this is about 6"x6"x6" (the ruler in the pic is 6" long more or less) so 20 points.

In addition, I painted a whole mess of AFV stowage bits. These are destined to stack up on the decks of the AFVs I'll be doing up for the Western Desert, and probably on some Shermans and such for NW Europe as well. They're from a company called "Value Gear" on eBay and are pretty great. I reckon these are worth about 10 points, there's something like 40 pieces of stowage there. 

Tentage (1 cube) = 20 points

Stowage (40 pieces) = 10 points

Total = 30 points

Thanks and take it easy all!


Looks like you've let these tents mature just right. Don't want to do them too soon! Useful pieces for many settings, as are the stowage bits.
