A couple of Churchill tanks

A couple of Churchill tanks to use for infantry support, got these at a local Toy & Train collectors fair today. They are diecast/plastic from the last 'buy and collect' series you could buy from newsagents.

Something to stick together ...

Two packs of Amourfast Hanomags, two per box; some glueing and painting to do ...

Fill up the tank please ...

German supply depot, making use of the oil drum and crates resin castings I was given.

Some Scenic Accessories

Newly arrived to add to my slowly building collection of scenics for WWII, a pill box and emplacement - kindly donated by a friend who was clearing up his storage before moving house. He also gave me some other resin castings including oil/petrol drums - nice to make up a fuel dump.

so slow ...

Apologies for the lack of posting, I'm afraid this project is languishing in the doldrums - too distracted by my 18C world at the moment.

Trial painting of British and German infantry figs.

After finishing the russian tanks off this morning, I turned my attention to a few plastic figs (Valiant 1/72) which I had prepared for trial painting last month. A little smaller than the 25/28mm figs which I usually paint but I think I've not done too badly. Uniform colour may be off shade but I just want to have it approx right, not exactly right. First the 'British HQ'.....

Aha, looks the the germans are lost (?) ....

Infantry Started

I have now 'desprued' a box of Valiant 1/72 plastic Germans and British infanrty, all the figures have been assembled - quite a fiddly process but I am now converted to the benefits of these figures.

I've based all the germans ready for painting and have started some trial figures.
