Another Lledo di-cast repurposed   

Started out like this

Now looks like this, the German driver is lose and can swapped for a French/Spanish/Mexican one as required.

Any transport is better than none

My Volksgrenadiers needed a tow for their 150mm SIG. There had been some discussions over on FB about Germans using Fire engines as transport in and around Arnhem - so I thought lets do something different

Started out as a much abused Lledo "Days Gone" di-cast (no ladder, only 2 tyres and damaged paintwork) Like this but imagine worse wear

  
I re-painted it, added a ladder, some mixed stowage and a crew selected from all over the shop and it now looks like this:

here is how it will look towing the SIG

German Command Car

Elhiem Danish Tempo car

This was a 3d printed body with white metal wheels, this is the first time I`ve worked with this kind of product - a bit fiddly removing all the excess, but it took the paint really well and looks OK finished. The driver is EWM, the officer by S&S, this vehicle will join my Volksgrenadier HQ.

Finished tow

Cheap German tow

 The Germans made use of whatever transport was available.

There were large quantities of Dodge, Fargo, Ford and Chevy trucks all over Europe, many built in licensed factories

This is a bit of a fudge as the model is actually a 1947 one, but I think It will look OK at 4ft across a tabletop :)

New wheels, raised wooden sides, bench seating, a rifle rack behind the cab :) and loads of stowage.

The crew are a mix of S&S, SHQ and MMS 

My plan is to use it as a tow for my Volksgrenadier Regiment, so here it is with a 75mm IG

Finishing off odds`n sods, all told I must now have about two platoons of mounted Germans now 

2x Revell gunners

 2 Britannia Miniatures 

One is an SS Cavalryman, the other the "fat soldier on supply horse"

all together

 I think the guy on the left is FAA?

 A few shots playing with the bits of terrain I did earlier

German pioneers

German Pioneers

A pair of Kettenkrads carrying vital engineering supplies to add to my various German engineers.

The Krads are both Hasawaga, the supply trailer is SHQ, the Goliath is Revell

German horse drawn guns

No German Army should be without horse drawn artillery!

Whilst we rarely have artillery on tabletop, it is possible such positions could be over-ran or feature in an advance or retreat type game.

These have been in storage for ages NOT mine, but acquired over the years, they needed repairing and the paint needed attention, i also assembled and based the third team who has a gun which came with one of those di-cast models.
