Hands, eyes and The Great Patriotic War

[Hertsblue]

And, of course, at this point the Soviets started to deploy and I forgot all about taking pictures .... doh!!

Nothing like your opponent starting to move to concentrate the mind wonderfully. Handsome game, Ithoriel.

They look great on the table!!

Just what I thought. Very effective on table.
I want to use on-base dug-in positions like those for some of my Japanese machine guns rather than use separate dug-in mouldings.

Thanks for the kind words - nothing like a little encouragement to keep one painting!

The latest Pendraken order to arrive contained a PzIII command tank and I decided I could paint it up this afternoon and have it available for our next campaign game, tomorrow.

It's set up with a senior officer giving the "tankies" some last minute instructions as his bodyguard watches for approaching Russians and his aide leans nonchalantly against the rear of the tank.

Very, very nice I.

Very nice "mini-diorama"

Greetings

Must look out my 10mm Ostfront over Christmas and paint up a few add ons for them (as well as one of the Soviet 76mm infantry guns purchased at Warfare which the rifle regiment gun company needs).  I try and paint up more for it when I am readying for a game but I haven't played a miniatures game for ages.  I've also got to focus on the SYW to get those forces to a reasonable sized force per side and paint some more desert stuff....

Regards

Finally back to painting after a hiatus over Xmas and the New Year and a January largely spent trying to organise to get a new kitchen fitted.

Some armoured and tracked artillery to give on-table fire support.

Three StuG IIIG assault guns, a StuH42 and finally a SiG33 (I'd actually intended to get the earlier open-topped SiG but this will do).

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Cool work!
Getting them in to the painting comp would be even cooler!

[Hertsblue]

Very nice, I. I particularly like the divisional insignia on the SiG.

[Ithoriel]

Proof, for myself more than anyone else, that I haven't stopped painting entirely!

How come now I'm retired I seem to have LESS time to paint?? Still, "at least one colour on at least one model, every day" seems to be getting me there eventually!!

Anyway, two Horch 4x4s (GR 11) on the left and a pair of Sdkfz 7s (GR119)  on the right. Tows for two of my three PaK 40s and the two 105mm howitzers.

88mm AA/AT gun next, then a command stand or two I think.

[Techno]

Very nice work, that man !

Sometimes, you just need to do transports! It makes the text of the army fun!

Oh...

Yeah...

Great job btw!
