I've still got some Shermans to post pictures of, as well as more infantry, including some Italeri/Esci winter troops. Next to work on will be some Britannia/Grubby AT guns and 105mm howitzers.
As ever, thanks for looking.
Excellent work on these Andy!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, glad you like them.
DeleteWow, that is a very impressive collection, Andy, kudos! And very impressive production; I thought it was going to be a couple jeeps, but then it was some armored cars, then some tracks, then some tanks, infantry, goodness man, great work!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing them on the table; 20mm individually-based troops. Now what are those for? Chain of Command, Battlegroup Normandy, something else?
V/R,
Jack
Thanks Jack. I'm going to use them mainly for Battlegroup Overlord through to Fall of the Reich, but so far they have mainly been used in Wacht am Rhine games - with mixed fortunes so far - I'm just getting used to keeping the tanks out of the way while the artillery does the work. Other than that, they will probably be used for Chain of Command and Arc of Fire. Following your inspirational Kursk blog posts, I've even bought I Ain't been shot mum, so will probably be using them for that too (although I'll probably do some sabot bases for them).
DeleteCheers, Andy
Great work Andy they look fantastic!! Love the Dodge Weapons Carrier.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Richard P
Thanks Richard, I've been using that as transport for my FHQ. I've got some of those Airfix Airborne jeep kits that Aldi were selling last year, so will do two of them as recce jeeps as well.
