Back of Beyond - British forces

 Another catch up post for stuff completed a while ago for my British and Indian army for the Back of Beyond campaign.

First up a 3d print from MarDav of a Lanchester armoured car . It was decent resin print and a pretty simple paint job 

I found an interesting camouflage project while looking for a paint job . I found something that might be useable for it in the grandsons toy box 😆

I have completed some Highlander units 

All Empress stuff. Incredibly detailed sculpts , great to paint but hard work 

British 4.5 inch howitzer 

Indian army mountain battery and mule team 

Some individual adventures 

And I painted up a Bolshoviks plane for Dave at the club 

I had the laser room guys at Pendraken make me a propeller disc for it to finish it off 

That’s the last few months work caught up on ! 

Ardennes - A few new German bits .

 I am a bit behind on posting completed stuff , so just a bit of a catch up post . The latest additions for the Ardennes collection is a small up top of vehicles . The first being the Ersatz Stug ( could do with a few more ) for a poor attempt at fooling the US defenders , a resin piece from battlefront . I picked up a couple of Quad 20mm AA half tracks off e bay several months ago , and found some other half track tractors that will be used for anti tank gun transport in the stash  . I have found the STL for the Ersatz Panther/M10 and have one being produced . 

Earlier in the year I had picked up a 2x2 winter town layout map from Deepcut which is a useful addition 

Armoured cars 

Hetzers  support for the Volksgrenadiers 

Bonkers of course , a niche SturmTiger 

Completed a second King Tiger .
Pleased the paint job was pretty close to the one I did 4 years ago 

Will need to knock out some more infantry support next for the Germans . Then another US infantry platoon . 

We are planning another winter game at the end of the month , so they will have an opportunity to fail miserably pretty soon 

Not Forgotten

 

Gaming - ‘Nam - at The Other Partizan

 Last weekend saw a group trip to The Other Partizan . Martin and I had decided to get the Nam stuff out and give it a showcase . We had a lot of interest in the table and Martin sold some of our rules as well 

We had decided an on armour led column heading to a NVA base village/town . It was a chance to get some unusual kit on the table .

The first RPG shot took out an M48 , good job the wrecker was near by . 

As usual the Skyraider was getting lots of interest 

DiscoDave, Czartank, James , Martin after the Saturday set up .  Next stop was beer and curry 

I am currently offloading various bits to clear some space in the ongoing storage wars so I had a session at the tabletop sale which went well . 

I terms of purchases there was the British Highlanders from Empress for my Back of Beyond force .plus a random modern special forces on  Skidoo - yeah I know - but they looked cool .

I just need a James Bond and his Moll figures now I guess 

With the darker nights , it’s time to get back painting .
