Hi folks,
Slow progress - relatively - on the hobby front. I've finished another troop of Cromwells and started on the last three vehicles. More on them in a bit.
In the last few weeks I've picked up a couple of unusual models, initially from an Ebay seller but more recently from his shop Battlefield3D. A few other hobby blogs and sites have shown off some of the prints, but I'd asked for a few specifics from his catalogue which I don't think will have been seen elsewhere. I had a chance today to get out with the spray can, so the models have had a base coat applied.
First up, I've had a bit of a plan to do some of the softskin vehicles which might have supported my 144RAC tank squadron. Namely, a small replenishment convoy in the form of a truck for munitions, a petrol tanker and a water tanker.

All three of the 'A' Echelon vehicles. |
Next up, some vehicles I had wanted for a little REME diorama to go with my earlier Light Breakdown Truck.

To go along with this, I picked up a little Austin Tilly utility van, and a staff car.
As I also have plans to do some sort of infantry battalion HQ diorama (probably along with the staff car above, maybe with a jeep), I also picked up a couple of radio trucks. I've cut off the radio aerial base in order to drill out the hole for my usual fishing line aerial.

Really nice additions Jamie. Liking how they are not the usual type of vehicles in one's collections; I might have to find similar for my Soviets.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dai - table dressing mainly, but I enjoy adding some of the more unusual bits. Nice to have them available at such good quality.
