Got a bit of reading to do if I’m building myself an SAS section for my #OpVarsity #OpPlunder games
This weeks output #15mm #BritishAirborne #PzGrenadier #OpVarsity #BKC #FlamesofWar #CoC #WhataTanker
Fortuitous: I found these two painted #15mm figures in my “box of random spare figures”……I guess they (and a spare #BritishAirborne jeep I have) are going to form the basis of my second objective marker for #BKC #FOW #CoC #OpVarsity
Finished the first of four #15mm objective markers for #FOW #BKC #CoC #OpVarsity A failed 3D printed Kubel, smoke made from clump foliage, and a signpost from balsa & plasticard.
First 3 of my scratch built dug in markers finished #15mm #FOW #CoC #OpVarsity
A useful morning texturing my scratch built dug in markers and adding retaining planking and chopped tree trunks for cover. Painting next, probably tomorrow #15mm #BritishAirborne #OpVarsity #BKC #FOW #CoC
That’s enough for this evening: 5 dug in markers cut and tree & sandbag positions marked. Ready for milliputting tomorrow #15mm #BritishAirborne #OpVarsity
Excellent I’ve just invested in a box for my #15mm Germans for for #OpVarsity
Test basing of my #15mm British Airborne for #BKC #CoC #FOW completed for my Normandy and #OpVarsity games.
Right, on with the next batch of #15mm #BritishAirborne: 75mm Arty and Mortar support #BKC #CoC #FOW #OpVarsity
Just tyres and 2 pairs of binos to do and the 6pdr gun and 75mm light arty are finished for my #15mm British Airborne force #CoC #BKC #OpVarsity
For #BlitzkreigCommander: The first 1000 pts of #15mm British Airborne ready for basing. I’ll be adding a 6pdr, 75mm Arty, and mortars & MGs to bump this to nearer 1500…..but for now I have a playable force :-) #OpVarsity
The 6pdr is a bit of a fiddle but I got there in the end. For now I’ve just made a single one and a 75mm arty so I’ve got some options for my #BKC and #CoC games #OpVarsity
Hello! Back from my travels and time to finish off the last odds and sods of my #OpVarsity #British Airborne for #CoC #BKC #FOW
Today’s progress on the #15mm British Airborne Recce Troop. Highlights, detailing, and a little light weathering tomorrow #BlutzkriegCommander #FlamesofWar #OpVarsity
A final drybrush of Vallejo Grey Green (to give an edge highlight) and then on to painting stowage, tyres, seats etc #15mm #BlitzkriegCommander #FlamesofWar #OpVarsity
Good progress on the second batch of #15mm British Airborne today: base colours of the uniforms and faces done, on to equipment base colours tomorrow #BlitzkriegCommander #FlameofWar #OpVarsity
I ve adapted my usual British armour recipe for #15mm: Humbrol Drab Olive base followed by Vallejo Grey Green and Vallejo Middlestone drybrushes. Next up a nice “dirty” wash then more dry brushing & details #BlitzkriegCommander #FlamesofWar #OpVarsity
Making a start on the first half of the British Airborne Recce Troop. Basecoat is Humbrol Olive Drab #15mm #BlitzkriegCommander #FlamesofWar #OpVarsity
For their size, these British Airborne Recce jeeps from Battlefront are great models, and a doddle to put together. Plenty of stowage options too. 7 more to make #FlamesofWar #15mm #BlitzkriegCommander #OpVarsity
Finally, the first half of the British Airborne force are finished. The moulds for these #FlamesofWar #15mm plastics aren’t the crispest but now painted will pass the 3ft test #OpVarsity #BlitzkriegCommander
Just flesh highlights, boots and weapons and this batch of #15mm British Airborne are done. I’m about half way there, just one more mixed batch of commanders, mortars, Vickers & PIATs and I can move on to recce jeeps & 75mm arty :-) #OpVarsity #BlitzkriegCommander #FlamesofWar
My new, #15mm, more German looking buildings have arrived from Loic (the ones in white resin). Look to be a great match for my existing stuff. This is about half the town for my #OpVarsity table #FlamesofWar #BlitzkriegCommander
Messy mid stage of the 1st batch of British Paras: Wash applied, tomorrow onto highlighting and maybe detailing if I get the time #15mm #BlitzkriegCommander #FlamesofWar #OpVarsity PS finished base is front left (to give an idea of final look).
Camo base colours finished on the first 40 British Airborne figures. Rifles, webbing, then washes tomorrow #15mm #BlitzkriegCommander #FlamesofWar #OpVarsity
Time to crack on and get the British Airborne finished #15mm #BlitzkriegCommander #FlamesofWar #OpVarsity
I got bored painting Germans so thought I’d try and work out my #15mm WW2 British Airborne colour scheme. I’m pretty pleased with the test piece, but may yet put a yellow wash over the Denison smock to help bring it all together #BlitzkriegCommander #OpVarsity
Cranked through and got my #15mm Late War Panzer Grenadier infantry stands finished for #BlitkriegCommander It means I can now start on the mortars, HMGs, and HQ. Hoping to get them wrapped up this week and then on to British Airborne #OpVarsity
Helmets & weapons to do and that’ll be the bulk of the LW German infantry complete. HQs, MGs & Mortars next. #15mm #BlitzkriegCommander #OpVarsity
A little Easter diversion to finish up today: A #15mm pissoir for the town square and a PAK 40 to support my LW Panzer Grenadiers #OpVarsity
