3D printing 28mm kit for DAK Attack.

 The heat over the last few days in Cheshire has meant that painting is nigh on impossible - paints drying on the brush faster than it can be applied.  However, temperatures over 25C mean it's perfect conditions for the 3D printer.  The grey resin Opel Britz truck with tilt is next to an open topped SPA AS.37 Italian light truck, mounting an LMG.  Next to that is an Autosahariana with twin LMGs (looking suspicously like Vickers K guns), a Breda 20mm autocanon and possibly a Breda M37 HMG. 


Two open topped Opel Blitz trucks and a version with canvas tilt.  Seated troops are generic seated figures from Wargaming3D. 


A very poor Opel Blitz tanker print - the last before the uv polarizer on the printer failed - so very much in need of a reprint.  Next to it an SdKfz 222 armoured car, one of the first to be printed after I replaced the polarizer.


Motor cycle and sidecar riders for Kradschutzen teams.


More sidecar teams base coated, with some Perry DAK figures sneaking into shot.


A set of 6 motorcyclists painted as DAK.  Motorcycles and sidecars are also downloads from Wargaming3D.


By the time I've finished the figures in the pipeline, I should have a platoon of DAK, extra platoon of DAK veterans, 2 or 3 Kradschutzen sections, three Opel Blitz and a tanker, an SdKfz 222, AB41, Autosahariana and AS.37.  I've also got a half squad of Italian infantry, but might add some 3D printed figures to bring them up to a platoon.  Might also add some Pz IIIs and L3s or 6s, just in case we do larger scale Battlegroup games as well.

Thanks for looking.
