The buildings are all Timecast pieces.

Thanks for the compliment. The gantry shipping container crane is not to scale but I didn't want a tower on the board. It is scratch built all the way after some google photos. Will be adding additional port crane support for moving containers from the yard.

Fantastic looking terrain and inspired by the crane (I'm still planning a port area).

Slow time of year for me with the armour but I had to have a go with the 2A6Mcan.
I've been holding off for sometime as to how a camo effect would look with the bar armour.
So here we go.

BSDF is upgrading some of it's 2A6 fleet.

With no GHQ XA-180 or XA-203 release for at least another 12 Months, I've taken to using the TPZ Fuchs as a stand in for my wheeled IFV. Plus about six other versions.

Not finished yet but will pass at a couple of feet (with my eyesight).

Very very nice scenery and armour. Imaginative use of buildings; these are from Timecast I believe. Only Panther D at Kursk though but that is just nit picking. :D

Are those personally-modified Fuchs?

Yes, mostly GHQ but a few CinC too. To my eyes a Scandinavian Patria Pasi stand in.
Some left as APC/weapons carrier, about 40 with RWS or one man turrets, 4 command, 2 rec/fitter, 2 ambulance.
Gives me enough for 4 light companies. Will keep me going until I can field a passable XA-360 (AMV)

Left as plain top Fuchs they looked like 4 truck coys.

Yeah, well...

Pick a little, talk a little. Pick a little, talk a little. Cheap cheap cheap, talk a lot, pick a little more...

Panther Gs? At Kursk? Really, Bill?

Would you put a battery of Gatling guns at First Bull Run? *

You could have just labelled the pics "Near Minsk, June 29, 1944" and all would have been well enough.

But Kursk? Bill bill bill bill ......



*Note: Actually, I don't know. Would you?

Thanks.

I undercoat in a far too bright green in a spray can, then a light wash with Nurn Oil, dry brush with Vallejo Cam. Olive Green then highlight with same but lightened a little, Vallejo Flat brown for the tracks.

On troops it's undercoat dark grey, skintones, Vallejo khaki on the unforms, Cam. Olive Green on the helmets... and the occasional battleflag... :roll:
