688 - Painting Chart Updates (Part 1 - WWII)

Hullo All,

Well, I'm back at work (which sucks) but I'm also partway through a pretty productive summer!

I thought I'd mark this by updating where I am with all of my forces and projects, starting with the WWII 28mm stuff. Next post will be the Ancient and Dark Ages stuff, which has been...er...expanding rather rapidly of late!

So without further ado, this is where I am with my...

British 4KSLI (11th Armoured Division): 

(Here's the key, by the way)

The British Indian Army in the Desert:

British Paras:

German Early-War Heer:

German Late-War Heer Grenadiers: 

...and finally, the RAF Regiment and the (as yet unbuilt but nevertheless expanding) US Buffalo Soldiers:

Cheers,

687 - Desert Rats Quad Tractor - 'Dinky' Repaint

Recently I picked up this puppy at Totnes Market. Haggled the fellow down to eight quid, and then repainted its battered outer so that it could act as a tow for my Desert Rats' 25pdr. 

I left the driver as he was, of course...

657 - Bolt Action Sikhs Vs Italians

Hullo All,

Just another quick one - my brave Sikh lads got to face off against Guy's Italians again, recently - we each took 1600pts with one tank platoon and one normal platoon each.

It was a real touch-and-go game which went to a draw as we timed out, but the Commonwealth troops were just starting to edge ahead.

No highlights today - just some purty pics:

...and a few from Guy: 

 I love the pic above - it shows the effectiveness of the M3 Lee's camouflage!
