Battlegroup: M4A3E2 Jumbo (two turrets 75mm or 76mm gun option).

Next painted model for Battlegroup Fall of the Reich. This time it is the M4A3E2 Jumbo. It has the option to take the 75mm gun option or 76mm gun option.
All things that look like mistakes, like the decals, are on purpose.

Battlegroup: M4 Sherman Crocodile.

Painted a M4 Sherman Crocodile. As you will see only 1 model and not a full platoon.The reason for this is simple it is a model for Battlegroup Fall of the Reich as I don't play FoW anymore (only played 1 game of FoW in 2014). Reason for this is the lack of opponents and I'm not a tourny player also I must say I like the Battlegroup rulesystem.
About the model. To get a stronger bond between the tank and fuel trailer I pinned them together.
Sorry not the best pictures.

First a picture of the real thing..

Thanks for looking.

Battlegroup: British Medic and Stretcher-bearers.

Next painted miniatures. This time not for Flames of War but to use with the Battlegroup game.
These are British (or Canadian) Medic and Stretcher-bearers. The models are from Skytrex. Not such great looking miniatures and a bit smaller then miniatures from Battlefront. I am not to happy how the bases look so maybe in the far future I will change these.
Got more practice to do taking close up pictures.

Thanks for looking.

Dieppe Infantry Rifle Platoon

Finished the Rifle Platoon for the Dieppe Infantry Tank Company.
I tried to paint the bases to look like a pebble beach. Could get the colour right but the look and feel wasn't. So I decide for an other look.
For the platoon I used the BEF Rifle Platoon (BR702) blister because the look of these models came most close to the most desired look. Only problem I had with these models was that they were badly cast and a lot of the bayonets were broken off or bend, which broke off when I tried to bend them straight. At the end I could only save 4 models with a bayonet.

Now I am going to start my search for six Churchill III.
And still trying to find a solution for the decals.

Dieppe Infantry Rifle Platoon WIP.

A WIP picture of the Infantry Rifle platoon for my Infantry Tank Company from the Dieppe PDF. Only a few tiny things have to be painted and the skin colour need some highlighting.



Then the last thing are the bases.
As the main attack of the Dieppe Raid was made across the pebble beach in front of Dieppe I want somehow give the bases a pebble beach look.
The colour should be something close to to the picture below.



The biggest problem will probably finding the right colours to use. It shouldn't become too dark but also not too light.
If I can't get it right I probably will be using a more normal beach look.

Thanks for looking.
