Inventory - Late War Germans
Everyone has that part of their collection which they can`t really explain or justify - this is mine 😁

That is a pretty mighty force. It should cover all your needs when it comes to the opposition.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Yes, pretty much :)
ReplyDeleteJust tinkering now, soft-skins, horse-drawn transport etc :)
Wonderful variety of vehicles, guns and tanks. Especially liked the support vehicles.
ReplyDeleteI must crew the Wespe batterie one of these days :) I don`t think it has ever seen a tabletop??
ReplyDeleteCheers Pete
love the horse drawn stuff, great collection
ReplyDeleteVery kind - thanks :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent mate, I have a lot of Germans also. But my hoarding tendencies is 28mm Romans, 6 armies so far.
ReplyDeleteI do a very limited time scale 1890-1960, my WW2 armies are by far the largest, but not at all my favourites :) These days I probably have enough to cover anything I`m ever likely to do, but you and I both know some wonderful sculptors and modellers and new interesting stuff appears all the time. Just had two small orders off Elhiem and Raventhorpe which should keep me going for a few months, awaiting one of Grubby too, so i can complete some half finished units....
