British Vickers Machine Gun team.

Painted a British Vickers Machine Gun team. The miniatures are from Battlefront and 15mm. To bad the mini on the right had a dis-formed face. Sadly enough I had no other to replace it.
This team was one of the missing infantry teams in my British or Canadian infantry Battlegroup lists.
In real the painted minis are not as bright as they look on the pictures. Bit of bad lighting.
I also noticed it needs another coat of varnish but that will happen when I have painted more minis. Then it can all be sprayed in 1 go instead of each mini separate.
I'm also thinking to paint the edges of the base in a darker brown colour. Not sure about that yet.

'Beep', 'Beep' and one Jeep.

The first painted miniatures for 2020.
Two 3/4 ton trucks 'Beep' (Big Jeep) and one Jeep.
I bought these secondhand and had to clean them and remove the old paint and then start from scratch.
All are from Battlefront only the 2 passengers in the trucks are from Forced in Battle.
Of course I'm going to use them for Battlegroup.
They will be used as gun towing vehicles. The trucks for my US army and the Jeep for the US Airborne. Maybe in the future I'm going to buy some trailers to add to the trucks and use them as Supply vehicles.







Thanks for looking.

Jeeps with trailer.

Probably the last painted for this year. Jeeps with trailer.
They are 15mm miniatures and from Forced In Battle. It are nice mini's and easy to paint.
None of the 4 mini's are sculpted the same. Only the drivers and passengers are all looking the same.
These will be a nice addition to my US 101st Airborne Division Battlegroup. Used as a Supply Column.



Thanks for looking.

Battlegroup British: Cromwell.

After months and months I finally did paint something. It was only a minor project. Just to get the feeling of painting back.
These are 2 British Cromwell tanks.
The miniatures are from PSC. And 15mm size.
To make a full platoon I need a Challenger. Hopefully Battlefront will release a new version soon, else I need to order one from Skytrex. I can use it with a Firefly but if I play a game of Battlegroup Market Garden I need a Challenger.





Sorry for the crappy pics.

Thanks for looking.

An update!

How things are going?
Well just when I found some motivation to paint again all kind of other things happened in my personal life. Not that these were all bad things but it stopped me from painting.
And then the next thing that happened a bursa inflammation (correct English?) in my left shoulder.
All in all I haven't painted anything in this period. It also meant that I had to skip the The Moloch Demons challenge.
I have decided to move this project to 2020.

Now since a few days I slowly started with some minor projects. One of it is to clean and touch up my US Airborne and rebuild it to use it with Battlegroup. Later on I will post about these projects.
Hopefully this will mean I will slowly return on my blog with new painted material.

Thanks for reading.
