Not a lot going on at the moment so just a few shots of my "converted" Soviet steam engine - the conversion consisted of repainting the engine and tender black, touching up (and adding to) the red trim and then adding a few Warlord Soviet tank decals to complete the transformation!
I am reasonably happy with the results - what do you think?
Red star added to the front of the loco
The engine number on the cab are a double set of "14" from tank markings supplied with the Achtung Panzer boxed set.
I also added red stars to the tender
Overall, it does still look a bit "British" to my eye, but I think it will do the job - it's still more convincing than a Leopard or Patton tank painted grey to represent WW2 German armour as in many 1960's Hollywood epics!
Looks good as a Soviet steam engine, the red stars convinced me, and it will be a great feature on the tabletop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, I will have to work it into a scenario in the near future!
