Vehicles from Gaming Models

Some new and somewhat rare additions to my collection. For the BEF, there is a patrol of Morris CS armoured cars; and for the Italians there are two AB40 armoured car patrols: one for the desert and one for Sicily.

All the models come from Gaming Models, a company that I have eschewed for a long time, put off by early reviews and the pictures on their website. A full review will follow, but suffice to say I am very happy with the AB40s and pretty happy with the Morris CSs.

A catch-up on photography this afternoon. First up, some T-34/85s for the Soviets; and the second platoon of M11 tanks arrives for the Italians.

A couple more units finished for my Italian WW2 army: a platoon of light tanks for the western desert and a platoon of Semovente 90/53s for Sicily (both shown below).

A few more Italians added: Motociclisti and the first of the Fucilieri. Have now got a bit distracted painting Felids: 15mm sci-fi figures from Khurasan.

Heads up for my next scenario book: Operation Compass. Should be available within the next couple of weeks. Twenty-three early war scenarios for the Western Desert: time to get those Italians onto the table!

I have now uploaded the remaining pictures of my WW2 US rifle and armoured rifle companies. Just some more Italians to do now!

Okay, so I haven't got round to doing the rest of the Vietnam range: been too busy painting Italians for the Western Desert for my forthcoming Operation Compass scenario pack. Here are some of the Italians I've finished so far...and the Operation Compass scenario pack will be available in the early new year.

Most of the German line infantry are now up. Only the engineers and then the panzer company to do now!

More Soviets added. Almost all done now...well, at least until that package arrives from Eureka! Their new partisan figures are well worth a look: especially the accordian player.

I have now added the French from 1940 to the gallery, and begun adding the Soviets.

I've also increased the size of the thumbnails for the other armies.

Still to come:  the German Wehrmacht units (a big job) ; the rest of the Soviets (that might also take some time) ; British Airborne forces; and the Americans (another huge job) . Keep checking back for regular updates!

A New Year's Resolution: Army Galleries

Originally posted 4th January 2009

One of my New Year Resolutions is to finally get pictures of all my WW2 figures up on the site. 

As a good start, therefore, I've revamped the galleries of my BEF, Fallschirmjager and Japanese figure; and added pictures of my British troops for early war Malaya, Singapore or Burma. 

All the existing pictures have been re-shot, and there are a lot of new pictures showing more kit that I've painted over the last year or so.

Still to come:  the German Wehrmacht units (a big job) ; early war French; the Soviets (that might also take some time) ; British Airborne forces; and the Americans (another huge job) . Keep checking back for regular updates!

I've added photos of my Fallschirmjagers. A mix of Battlefront and Peter Pig models painted in the Splinter Tan and Water patterns.
