German Vehicles

Now then,

I sat and finished these vehicles off last night, mostly just basing but the trucks in particular needed a bit of work on the camo.

First we have a Panzer IIf.

I tried a dark wash on this one, it has turned out a bit dark, but works ok I think, It just looks a bit dirty....





Next I have a Sdkfz 250/3 command vehicle with a bedstead antenna.

(This is the battlefront "grief" model)




Here I have my Schwimwagons, These are forged in battle models and are very nice.

Again Ive been experimenting with different washes, some are darker than others......

I really enjoyed painting these, with the little drivers and passengers.








Last up I have some trucks, pretty bog standard and boring to paint (id rather be painting tanks...)


These will be used to transport my Panzer grenadiers in the lorried Battalion.

I shall have a proper update tomorrow,

Cheers for looking,
Steve

Panther G and Puma Fixed!

Now then,

I have spent a bit of time over the last day or so going through my WW2 collection, and my Panther and Puma were still sticky from the varnish that was applied in 2014!!

I fixed the problem by putting on  a fresh coat of matt varnish, A simple fix....Thank god for that...





 The Battlefront model comes with 2 turrets, so depending on what you want in your force, you can have either the:

Sdkfz 234/1 Armed with a 20mm cannon, and a coaxial MG.

or

Sdkfz 234/2 PUMA.
An up armoured version, with a fully enclosed turret, armed with a 50mm AT gun


Loads more to come!!

Cheers for looking,

Steve
