I finally painted the second (of three) HaT plastic 1/72 horse drawn supply wagons over the weekend, and while I was in the mood for vehicles, I assembled the last two Nationalist tanks, a PzKfw I and a PzKfw II (yes, I know, but I made a mistake and bought two, so in my SCW, Hitler has sent at least 2 x PzKfw II to Franco - call it artistic license!)
Some more Nationalist Moors are nearing completion and, miracle of miracles, it appears as though the Brigade Games figures, ordered on 4 July 2021, are about to turn up......
It's the same model as the Nationalist one completed a couple of weeks ago, obviously
So, to give it a bit of variety, the canvas cover is khaki rather than grey/white, and I added the Republican national flag
I went back to the Nationalist one and added their version of the flag too!
I also dispensed with the passenger, as I thought they looked a bit squashed on the first version
The Pannzerkampfwagon I
And the Panzerkampfwagon II
All done for tonight - thanks for taking time to look and leave a comment!
Game ! So many toys shown ,there must be a game involved or they --the new units will all run away at once! Seriously, nice work.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know Joe - I might try a trial solo run with what I can remember of the 1914 rules we used the other night, just to see how it goes. Thanks for the constant "motivation" to get these into action!
ReplyDeleteFwiw, yesterday I ordered a copy of 1914 - was looking for a PDF but Great Escape Games apparently no longer put their stuff on Wargamevault. GEG's website said it was their last copy!?
DeleteAnyway, I thought it was a ruleset worth investigating (you could let Mr B. know that I would be interested in taking part in a game - see what he says??:))
And your SCW stuff can take the role of the forces of Tropicana in my theoretical imaginations campaign:)
Interesting development Andrew, the rules are quite good, in my opinion. I will certainly pass your message on to the J-Master!
DeleteNice work there Kieth- great painting of these models- you are very productive on the modelling front! Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev. These three all suited my level of modelling skill, and, more importantly, my lavel of patience, ie they have about ten to twelve parts and take a few minutes to put together!
DeleteExcellent project additions, Keith. Oh, your long lost Brigade Games’ order looks to be making its home leg journey. Is it too soon to celebrate?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon, I won't be counting my chicks.....mind you, if NZPost manage to lose the parcel now, I am going to be mightily angry!
DeletePerfect horse animation on the wagon, making for a very nice base.
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm, for the equivalent of about £10 for three, I was very happy with these HaT models!
DeleteI will need to make sure some horse-drawn equipment goes onto my SCW shopping list.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg, I would recommend having a look at HaT for 20mm stuff, they have a few useful sets for inter war gamers.
DeleteNicely done, I especially like the Panzer 1
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil...I meant to do a comparison shot.. It's quite amazing how much smaller the Pz I is compared with the Pz II!
DeleteI have always like the PzKpfw 1 as it always seemed ahead of its time when compared with allied tanks. Lovely work it and the transport wagons Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, some of the British tanks with the Christie suspension are quite cool too, although others do look a bit like some kids drawing of a tank!
DeleteLike others, have a soft spot for the early/interwar tanks--a time when the Pzkw II was one of the "big dogs"!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed, yes, the 30's tanks are very cool looking!
DeleteYou have to wait as long as the brigade games order took to arrive to open it and paint anything from it. Just bc it’ll be funny. 😀
ReplyDeleteNice job on the carts.
Trust you to come up with this idea Stew! Thanks for the visit though, buddy!
DeleteGreat looking wagon! And typical panzer porn, having more of the Panzer II's than were ever there :) Completely unbalance all the games :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your package. I hope it arrives safely.
Thanks on all counts Ben! From what I read, there were precisely NO PzKfw II in Spain....but I only read that AFTER I bought two😀
ReplyDeleteLovely work on the carts and tanks again Keith. Fingers crossed that the parcel does finally arrive with you after so long. They could have have rowed across to deliver it to you in the time it's taken!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking wagon and great looking panzers, I'll believe you've got it when I see photos of the figures on your blog and not before!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, and re the "Letter from America ", yes, I agree! It's in New Zealand apparently, but it hasn't reached me yet....somewhere , a little boy waits...!😀
DeleteSplendid stuff Keith…
ReplyDeleteAs for the Panzer II’s …. Your toys …. Your rules…😁.
All the best. Aly
