Another book added to the collection.

I was looking for this book for a long time and now I finally found one for a reasonable price.
Always had an interest in the 101st Airborne Division since my youth. That's also the reason I have a 15mm painted army of them. Wich is currently in revision because of wear and tear. More about that later.

Thanks for looking.

Ten years of blogging!

Just a quick post to let all of you know that today my blog has hit it's 10th anniversary. Not that it will be a big party.
I know that my blog ain't that popular and I also know that I don't have many followers and viewers. But that ain't something that surprises me. Can't say I'm a very active blogger. I even came to a point that I wanted to quit with this blog. And doing no posting for more then a year ain't helping either.
Even now I still don't know if I can or will keep this blog up. If I look at the views can't say they are increasing much. All I can say is that I'll see what happens.

Some facts.
Followers: 134 (but I doubt if most of them still read my blog).

There ain't much more to tell.

Till later.

New WWII book I bought.

I did buy this book because it looked interesting and I heard a lot of good about the writer. Historian James Holland.
It will only take some time to read the 650 plus pages.

Thanks for looking.

Battlegroup: M32 TRV.

The M32 TRV painted.
Miniature from Battlefront. 15mm.
I used the Battlefront name of the miniature. In the Battlegroup books it is named M32 ARV (Armoured Recovery Vehicle).
At first I wanted to glue the miniature together as pictured below. But if I would glue the A-frame jib on the hull as pictured on picture it wouldn't be very strong bond and could break of pretty easy. Also it would be too fragile to transport the miniature. So I decided to glue it together normally.

Tried to giv the miniature give a muddy look. For this I used Vallejo Panzer Aces 304 Track Primer. I think it worked out well.
O
Maybe the painting turn out a little too dark. But I happy how it turned out.

Thanks for looking.

M32 TRV part 2

More work on the M32 TRV.

The miniature primed black.

Next a base colour of Vallejo 887 Brown Violet is applied. Only the commander, the tracks and MG are not painted.

A layer of black wash added.

A highlight using of a mix of Vallejo 887 Brown Violet and Vallejo 886 Green Grey. And tracks plus MG are painted Vallejo Gun metal Grey.

Next painting details.
