15mm Tanks - Russians

Below are some more tanks for my upcoming What a Tanker! games. Today I completed three T-34's for the Soviet forces. Along with my StuG III and Panzer IV they should compliment each other nicely and be a fairly even match-up.

15mm Tanks - Germans

I normally game in 28mm, I like the scale, its easy to paint and identify stuff on the table...I also like the larger models as they remind me of plastic soldiers when I was a kid. Anyway, I have been introducing a couple of work colleagues into tabletop games recently when one took a particular shine to my Greyhound Armoured Car. I thought what better game for a treadhead than What a Tanker! by Too Fat Lardies. - simple, quick and full of tanks. Part of the reason for all the tanks lately was to use them for games of Chain of Command, Bolt Action and What a Tanker! However, as I do not have a lot of space at home (my play surface is only 4 x 4) so I decided to buy some 15mm tanks to allow a more dynamic games. The models themselves are from Gale Force 9's 'Tanks' and are essentially Flames of War miniatures (no complaints there though). I found that I can utilise much of my terrain at the smaller scale and elected to take a break from the Mediterranean and dive ...

The Stug that did!

I finished up another StuG today, some German reinforcements for Italy. For my next german AFV I would like to try some camoflague, but I wanted to get the hang of the basics with this one first. I think it turned out pretty good!

Italian Buildings - Carthouse

Just finished another building (one more to go). This time the cart house. Its a little more rougher (textured) than my other buildings but I think it will fit in well 'under the Basilicatan sun'. It is the same process as I followed for my other buildings. These are very nice kits and very easy to make look respectable.
