Pafetikbazerkas foray into 15mm Flames of War
Now I'm hooked
It’s been a little while since I’ve updated any of projects but I havn’t been sitting still by any stretch. Last update had me and my mates decide that I’m going to be the one that expands upon the Germans. Shortly afterwards I’m sitting playing Dune (great game) in my local games store one Friday night ,between lockdowns, when a I can’t help but feel the call of some of the stock, glaring at me from the shelves. A box of plastic soldier 250’s ,a box of Panthers and , a box of Stugs come home with me that evening. And Soon after 88’s, 251’s and Panzer grenadier HQ arrive from OTT (thanks Spring Clean Challenge). And I feel my German army nearing complete.
One of the more frustrating things about both plastic Soldier Co, and Battle front is that their plastic kits tend to have a great selection of variations and armaments in them, I nearly burst with indecision but determine to try reconcile it all with magnets.
Some very careful drilling and filing and some 1x2mm magnets mean I’ve now got a few options to play with.
I can switch between early or late Stugs, and my 251’s can be either transport or 7.5cm guns and my 250’s can be transports, mortars or scouts.
I settle on straight up yank versions of the jeeps and m3’s but after spending so much time trying to understand the variations available I decide to consolidate my findings and put it in a video.
Current status is all new vehicle bits have been zenithed base coloured and all associated figures are zenithed.
