Hi folks, just a quick note to say I'm still here! My painting challenge has stalled at the moment as I'm moving house tomorrow! Normal service should resume once I'm settled in.

#6MMRPC Painting List Update
Having completed (mostly) the first batch for my painting challenge, I have updated my painting sheet to detail what I have started prepping for the next wave.
Not only do I have to put the models together but spend some time faffing about with stowage and the likes. For example, my current issue (other than fretting about the outcome on Thursday) is why the Battlefront resin and plastic Firefly's don't have the applique armour that the other late war Shermans have (which may result in me having to add it myself - having trawled through pictures).
Green is completed as part of the challenge, orange is now work in progress!

2nd Derbyshire Yeomanry, 51st highland Division - Daimler I's and Humber LRC's - Finished!
And the next set of completed models....
The Humber LRC's I made a bit of a mess of with pigment, but they will do for now. These models were part of a squadron based on the old Highland Division .pdf - however this changed with me getting the newer Overlord book. This means that these guys will be getting mixed and matched a bit in the future. The Humber LRC's to go with the Humber Armoured Cars, while the Daimler I's will be going with the Daimler Dingos.
The 2nd Derbyshire Yeomanry were the 51st Highland Divisions Recce Regiment. the Highland Divisions own integral Recce Regiment was the 51st Recce, which was switched over to a motorised infantry battallion in the desert prior to the invasion of Sicily. The Derbyshire Yeomanry were not part of the Recce Corps - instead they were part of the Royal Armoured Corps. The Recce Corps eventually became part of the Royal Armoured Corps itself, and the 2nd Derbyshire Yeomanry became honorary members!
These are all Battlefront miniatures and again were fun to paint.
First up the Daimler I's:
The 2DY were one of the few armoured car regiments in the NWE campaign to be equipped with the Daimler I armoured cars. This happened in September 1944, so strictly speaking after Operation Totalize. However as I was following the .pdf this was the correct option for FoW at the time. My plan now is to have one squadron of these guys and the rest Humbers.
Now the Humber Light Recce Cars:
These guys are light, with only Brens and a Boys A/T rifle. But they are recce units.
Anyway, thats them all based, varnished and made as pretty as I can currently do - apart from the mucked up dust effect on the Humber LRC's!
