Now, in anticipation of an 8 player WW2 Ostfront game at Barrys next Sunday - I got my A into G and knocked out these 4 Red Army tanks I got a few months back in the discounted Achtung Panzer starter box (number 2)
A KV 1/2 on the left and three T34/76 - one is the Obr 1942 version and the other two the earlier version the Russians started the war with - different turrets are what sets them apart
Yesterday, five of us marked our daughter Amy's partner AJ's birthday at a local hostelry - a couple of drinks and this superb shared platter - even I thought this was good value at NZ $95 - when each of the constituent parts would set you back $20 to $25 each. The alcohol was still a rip off, but hey ho, that's what it is nowadays.
A few pix from the last day of our trip - these are just from the flight home - my wife was slagging me off, saying you would think I had never flown before! But I haven't ever flown up the S Island off the east coast before, and I thought the view was pretty cool.
Just after take-off, a few km north of Dunedin
Still flying off the east coast - maybe that is Oamaru (or Timaru a bit further north)
Part of the Southern Alps - the mountain range goes on, and on... and on - basically the entire length of the S Island.
Passing over Nelson at the northern end of the S Island
Zoom in and you will hopefully be able to see Farewell Spit, as we leave the S Island behind.
That's all for now - I will probably post a few more winter Germans in a couple of days' time - plus, the four soviet tanks are nearing completion.
The Germans look great Keith, very nicely done. Looking forward to seeing the tanks when you paint them, looking good so far. The shared platter looks great and no wonder you took some photos from the plane, stunning!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie - during my absence, the tanks have been more or less completed - bloody horrible decals applied - a job I really don't like doing! Glad you didn't think the high-altitude pics were a waste of time!
DeleteSplendid figures, I particularly like the officer. The highlighting has been very well done and really lifts the figures and brings their characters out.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Norm - I have always thought making an effort on the faces pays dividends!
DeleteGreat looking figures, Keith. You certainly turned out thosr tanks quickly. Look forward to your paint job on them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard - the T34/76 in particular is a pretty easy build - I had not really intended to sit there and build them all in one session, but after the first one only took 15-20 minutes, I thought I might as well get them all done.
DeleteThose Germans look great and nothing better than more Russian armour
ReplyDeleteThanks Scotty - the German infantry may not agree with your second comment!
DeleteI'm really enjoying your German Keith as they are so characterful. The tanks are coming together nicely as well. I can't blame you for looking out the window as I'd be doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteLovely looking winter Germans!
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me to paint my unfinished units...
