Paint Table Saturday

Paint table Saturday was a great success, having made a substantial assault up the lead mountain with the assembly of two tanks and painting of twenty six 28mm figures. Lots of basing work left to do sadly.

Saturdays haul included the assembly of Warlords plastic Churchill tank in MkIV configuration, HLBSC's resin Vickers Medium MkII. These were both latterly base coated in Vallejo black surface primer. I will say that Richard Kemp of HLBSC customer service is second to non, he spotted a miscast of the hull after he posted the kit and followed up by sending a new hull within 24hrs. The Vickers may reappear in a project to model the 1920s British Army experimental mechanised force.

Finally finished the S&S models 28mm scale 105 Light gun and crew converted for BAOR with some Mofo miniatures head swaps for the crew. After a few tries I rediscovered the knack for painting DPM. Just needs a dry brush and grass for the base.

S&S Models 105 Light Gun in the direct fire role. The crew are a little gawky, however when placed next to the piece they look fine. The heads are by Mofo Miniatures from their Falklands War line.

Next up was Eureka miniatures 28mm 1980s Soviet tank crew in NBC respirators (love the womble look).These are based off the 1988 Film called 'the Beast', which is well worth the watch. A younger me used to show the opening scene in Law of Armed conflict lectures as how not to do business!

Lastly was painting the last of the Wargames Foundry 28mm WW2 British Commandos for Bolt Action raid scenarios and 'Hour of Glory'. Easy to paint and brilliant Perry sculpts. Just need to man up and base them!
