The Road to Falaise Bobs on going 15mm WW2 Adventure
Hobby Holiday finale and beyond
Well on my 1st free Wednesday now gone part time thought I would use some of new free time to do end of hobbying holiday update.
I firstly finished the Maultiers but forgot to photo them so will add shot later.
I then decided to start on the mid and late war US Armoured companies has using the former for formally painted a.comp and the latter for Kelly’s Heroes. Specially as found a lot of figures were armed with BAR’s. Not apparently carried by Armoured infantry ( @oriskany?) according to FOW, so used them to make BAR heavy bases to represent A.N.other members of the Heroes, in film they were armed predominantly with Thompson’s but Artistic licence. Two of the best painted not armed with BARs were selected to be single figure commands representing Kelly and Big Joe with one with BAR for the corporal.
For my Game as in project report
I decided needed a bit more of a selection of units other than my current collection of Tanks and infantry. So from German Starter set , built the 4 hanomags and the 2 x 88’s and the two PAk 40’s from on the Beach( Only the two inf Zugs left).
I also built a 2nd Puma and 3 more 222 armoured cars (Zveda) for a recon unit, and whilst waiting for various stages on inf above to dry finished painting them all!
I also built the remaining vehicles from Stuart’s, as an M8 battery and with the Staurts and got them all painted.
In addition I finished the 2 Suarts to finish company, the T70 and 3rd Sherman for Kelly’s Heroes.
Always amazed by how much you achieve buddy, lovely stuff.
Thanks mate, means a lot ,having a holiday at home and going part time his helping me clear my back log
