ACWBill, good pics! Photobucket was struggling to bring the album up but when it did, they look great! I even like the Pacific island landing. You don’t see that very often.

No worries. I went with the setup instead of img and they are now hyperlinks and work. See my previous post.

I think the photobucket website itself was the issue. not linking to it from the GHQ forums.

Cheers

Awesome looking convoys and trailers!! I love those German trailers by GHQ, the detail is sweet. Your paint job on them is impressive.

Where's those Sturmoviks when you need one?? Haha!!

Some more WIP pics to keep things moving…

Sturm Tiger. I need to figure out how to sneak one of these on the tabletop to play and shoot.

So I wanted to try something out and give it a go. If it worked out, I will update all of my ATG/How stands because of the increased level of detail. I found some tube styrene small enough to come close to scale size. I do not know the exact measurement but they are small enough to become solid instead of a hollow tube. Measured each piece out to 3/16 of an inch and cut them. Then the fun started with painted the tube gold to simulate the casing along with the black end to try and depict the spent round.

Your 88's look great, the sturm tiger too. Have you bought any indivdual crew figures yet?

Thanks guys!

Interesting you ask that… not yet. I am trying to figure out a way to solve that problem. I need the crew on a different stand in case they leave/flee the weapon in battle. Do the shell casings stay with the weapon or the crew? Thinking weapon. They need to be two independent stands for the game. I have a few crew stands here and there from what I received from purchasing Hvy Weapon packs or other ATG/Howitzer weapons… Need to look into the individual guys and come up with a game plan.

ACWBill, the new German trailers look great, especially in your scenery (which is always fun to see).

PolishGI, your spent casings turned out really well!

I really enjoy seeing all the novel techniques folks come up with. A guy could learn something here if he's not careful...
