It's been a while since I showcased my toys, and I've never really done it with my newer ones, so here are the Late-War Germans. You'll find parts 1 and 3 (infantry and support units) both before and after this post - I'd love for you to take a look at them if you've time enough...
Part 2 of 3 - Vehicles:
(N.B: The Rotbraun on these is far more muted in real life.)
Panzer V - Panther Ausf. D:
 |
| What a beauty. |
 |
| My workhorse. The side Schurzen are painted with just two colours - as if theyd been salvaged from another vehicle. |
Sd.Kfz 251/10 Ausf. C & 251/1 Ausf. D:
 |
| The Boss's ride. The number '36' helps to remind me that it's armed with a PaK 36! |
 |
| All my Hanomags have the rear MMG modelled in a 'stowed' position, as I sometimes like to use them (especially when facing US airstrikes) but don't want them to break off. |
 |
| My three Hanomags together. |
As with all of my German models, I'm using cheap-ass Tesco pencil cases. The two Panzers have their own box each, but these halftracks have to share. Luckily, we can make it work...
...with a bit of careful planning and labelling!

That's some fine looking armor!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, Sir!
DeleteLovely work mate. Nice to see it close up, sotospeak.
ReplyDeleteSome Opel Blitz' trucks next as cheaper alternates to the pricey (pointswise) 1/2tracks?
Ta muchly!
DeleteI have a... er... pecuniary policy which sadly prevents me from spending too much cash on transports.
The Hanomags came about by virtue of combining two 'Band of Brothers' box sets and getting a third dirt cheap second-hand, but I baulk at buying expensive taxis - especially unarmoured ones: that's why my Brits just travel by die-cast repaints.
I've yet to work out how to get these fellows cheaper taxis, though. Maybe some 'captured' generic die-casts? - or maybe some 3D-printed Opel Blitz? I'll let you know as soon as I work that one out!
Look up Anyscalemodels. They may well be what you are looking for?

Thank you, Dai!
DeleteAs it happens, I know a fellow, so I shall try him first. Either way, there's no rush...!
