WWII - North Africa

[DFlynSqrl]

This is my first time jumping into the 10mm scale, so the painting quality may be a little lacking.  I'm starting to get the hang of 10mm though.  Lovin' the Pendraken miniatures so far and can't wait to get these all painted so I can play my first game.  Painful thing is I'm already looking at the other Pendraken ranges thinking about future projects...  

Last 3 posts of my blog are for this project.  Mix of DAK and 8th Army, if you care to take a look.

** EDIT:  Figured out how to show the pix instead! **

10 Stands of Infantry  (I put 3 riflemen, 1 bren and a thompson on each)


2 SdKfz 222's, 6 MG-42 teams, and the 105mm Arty piece.


2 Daimler Dingos, 3 3" mortars, 6 Vickers teams

Command stands for the 8th Army:

Here's my CO and 2 HQ's.  (For the CO I attempted to sculpt a table, so boxes and a rolled tarp on the ground)


FAO and FAC:

Very, very nice. 10mm western desert is my thing too and spookily you have based up exactly as I have with the mix of infantry! Well done on those.

Thanks gents!

Glad to see I'm on the right track then!  I'm saving my tanks for last as I'm still researching camo.  I'm choosing all my equipment around the Gazala time-frame.

More toys for the 8th Army done.  I have a couple of Bedfords and some Matilda II's.  There's actually some camouflage on the tanks, but after my reading I decided to subdue it a lot with dust.  I like mine toys to look used.

Well, I finished up my 8th Army stuff for this order.  Now to get working on the DAK stuff.  Here's some Crusaders, 2 & 6 pdr ATG's.

Hopefully I'm not boring y'all with this stuff.

Definitely not, great work!

[nikharwood]

Totally agreed - making me want to get my desert stuff out & back on the table...

Hmm.  Eighth Army, Rommel, desert, Bedouins, Monty.......etc

Where's that army list again?

Great work.

It took me a while, but I finally finished up my DAK infantry.  We're having a heat wave here in Texas right now.  I think we're up to 33 straight days of 100+ degree weather (converter said that was 37+ Celsius).  It should be inspirational for North Africa, but just hasn't helped me in that department!  Anyway, here they are...

Jeez, I was dying after an hour in the car at 30 degrees C!
