Mexican Revolution train

I`ve been planning this for a while as trains played such a huge part in the various revolutionary campaigns in Mexico. The train will just be static - just a piece of terrain in effect, but will make an interesting ojective whilst adding considerable fire-power to one side or other :-)

The whole train together

British Carrier Platoon

The final unit I needed for my Tunisian Brits - a Carrier Platoon

Three different Britannia carriers all of which come ready stowed one-piece resin castings. I did some minor modifications - added aerials, more stowage, changed the Boys AT rifle to a Bren.

The figures are a mix of Britannia with odd Kellys Heroes, Airfix and Friend or Foe 

French re-supply unit

Two Renault UE carrier with trailers

Friend or Foe UE & trailer (I was cheeky and asked Ian for the fuel trailer)

Early War Miniatures UE and cargo trailer (I added all the stowage)

Both together

Girly medic

Now I don`t do 28mm, frankly my painting can`t do the sculpts justice. Still I`ve been long tmpted to have a go at one of those "pin-up" girlies you see advertised in the modelling and wargames press and when i saw this one ob TMP, I couldn`t resist.

Armoured Coy. Kradshutzen-10

I`ve reorganised Kradshutzen-10

The Armoured infantry unit now has two platoons and to keep them seperate (visually) on tabletop I`ve used only zeltbahn wearing grenadiers.

2 x 12 figure platoons (1 LMG) carried in 4 sdkfz 250 (2 fitted with sustained fire MGs)

You`ve seen the halftracks already, the figures are mostly Britannia plus a few Kellys Heroes and one Raventhopre MG42 man; the usual minor conversions and head-swops 

The whole unit including the tracks

Tunisian recce

A very productive week January

Even as I work through my 10th Panzer orbat, I`m looking at it and adding bits. I decided to add a second armoured infantry platoon to Kradschutzen-10 and make all the figures for that unit in Zeltbahn (figures to come next).

2nd platoon halftracks

2 x Sdkfz 250 (one with sustained fire MG) Minimi & Frontline models with added bits

British Recce

Humber II 

This is the Hasawaga one I painted green last year before deciding on a universal "desert" scheme - d`oh!! Now repainted

Another Humber II and a Dingo to complete the unit, Humber by Combat Miniatures; Dingo by Britannia

Since the start of 2014 I`ve managed to finish -

9 - tanks (6 x PzIII, 3 x PzIV) 

6 - armoured cars (2 x 222, 1 x 232, 2 x Humber II, 1 x Dingo w/2 crew) 

1 - Krump protze w/ driver 

2 - 20mm flak + 7 crew

2 - trailers (20mm & 37mm)

2 - sdkfz 250

1 - Sdkfz 251/9 w/ 2 crew

Very pleased with myself :-)

More German armour for Tunisia

Panzer IV platoon for 7th Panzer Regiment
