Those look great, Cav Dog, and a more unusual subject for sure! Great work on the shading and highlighting as well.

The terrain is excellent, CavDog. Very nice set up. You have captured the variety of armor. Nice set up.
Show OpFor, look forward to engagement.

Some eye-candy.
Someone on FB suggested that I show some uncovered metal and rust on the AVLB, without any effort… section without paint.

A couple of things today. A revamped Churchill VII Squadron, and few towed Soviet M1944 100mm anti-tank guns. Paints for both units are a combination of by Humbrol, Vallejo, Ammo, Citadel. Decals by Beacon Decals and GHQ.

The models themselves are by Scotia Micro Models.

Revamped Churchill VII Squadron.
All the vehicles are Heroics & Ros Churchill VIIs. Two have been converted into Churchill VIIIs by removing their main guns, shortening them, and then replacing them. Like the Churchill III Squadron, another was converted into a Churchill ARV Mk.I by replacing the turret with a card disc and addition of several slivers of plastic card to represent wooden beams, boxes etc. Just two photos this time. One before and one after.

Cav Dog, amazing stuff as always. Same goes out to Gazza as well.
Quantity has a Quality all its own.

I've admired Legion's stuff for quite some time - back when it was owned by Leva (IIRC) but have yet to order any myself. Flak Tower, railway guns etc. as well as the emplacements.

Just the one photo for today. Four Soviet 152mm M1943 D-1 howitzers (by Scotia) in their towed configuration.

Another quick one. A whole company (far too many really) of revamped M4A3E2 'Jumbos'.

Always good to see the stuff in use, Chris.

Meanwhile, on my desk, a revamp of my WW2 US tank destoyers. I'd done all but one company's worth of M10/M36s, but 4 of the revamped M36 turrets had suffered some damage. I've managed to rescue three but will need to order a new one for the final turret. I'm basically using the same hulls for the M10s and M36s - I used the spare hulls as M35 prime movers. I might get some M4A3 hulls to be able to field the M36B1 variant.

Oh. and a couple of other vehicles need a bit of a revamp.

That is a nice looking game, Chris! What rules are you using for that one?

You have a pretty good collection of American tank destroyers, Gazza! I have some M-10s and M-36s in the works but need to get them finished one of these days.

Awesome stuff guys.

I'm working on an NVA battlegroup consisting of a BTR 70 Motorisiertes Schützenbataillon, a T55AM2 panzer company, a ZSU battery and a 2S1 battery.
Here is a test subject with their three tone camo:

I used blue tac as a mask which is probably not the best medium for this as it can be difficult to shape and get to adhere where I want it. I think the bulk of the battle group will be in plain green.
