New German Tanks and Figures

After all these years painting both wargames figures and models ,last year I built my first collection for 1/35 wargaming for the WWII desert...and so its now time for a collecton of the same for Europe.

I have masses of 1/35 stuff having collected for many years but not much painted so here I have started to paint for games on my terrain and below are the first troops and vehicles to be added.

The first is my Panzer IV with tank riders and camouflaged for Europe.

I have decided because of the vast stuff I have I can actually do the troops tank riding and then dismounted and in action.

Here we have a Sturmgeshutz again with tank riders and painted with a slightly different camouflage pattern for the theatre.

Below are a few shots of the two tanks advancing together.

My next piece is a Flakpanzer IV Mobelwagen being used as anti-personnel in the theatre and again has extra crew helping to load the guns.

Finally so far is the Hanomag and the Kubelwagon for troop transport and some of my first finished squad men...

Battle in Italy 1944

Above we see two of my previously shown dioramas that can be placed side by side to form a larger battle scene.

Here we have the German Sdkfz 223 and the US M3 Stuart light tank facing off against each other as the tank bursts through the gates of an Italian farm. Bit of a miss match but makes for a good larger scene.

Below is a little video I made to bring the diorama to life
