Making Progress on Several Fronts

 Its a real mixture of different bits and pieces today. including quite a bit of 1/72 plastic kit construction

First up was the Zvezda Zis 3 anti tank gun

Not a particularly difficult kit but I still managed to create a few difficulties for myself during assembly!

I used the precast plastic base the kit comes with because there are holes to take pegs in the feet of the gun crew, plus the guns wheel and ends of the trails, which will make the end result more robust for gaming purposes.

It did not take too long to paint up the gun and three crew members

Next, I put together one of the four HaT Pak 36 AT guns. These unfortunately are the very rubbery type of plastic also used on their 1/72 figures

Assembled gun and the four crew

The gun with three Minairons HMG crew for a scale comparison - they match up pretty well

I did some minor "conversion" work by hacking off the peak of the cap and trimming the shorts worn by two of the four crew, so I could paint all four in long trousers

I think the caps sans peak look quite convincing as the typical Spanish fore and aft field cap.

And finally in my flurry of kit construction, I have completed one of the three horse drawn supply wagons, again by HaT but happily this time in "proper" hard, kit-appropriate, plastic!

Another nice simple kit to assemble - only took me about twenty minutes I guess

I have not painted this one yet...

Last but certainly not least are the five dismounted armoured car crew members from Siberia Miniatures, alongside a resin armoured car from Old Glory

A productive couple of days I feel and I still have Sunday evening and then all day tomorrow to crack on and get a bit more work done. Thanks for checking out my post!
