There is light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
Finally nearly finished some of the detail including an
orchard, most of the Normandy farm, telegraph poles and bits.
I will let the pictures do the talking.

I seem to be taking ages with this project but
detail and wanting to get it just right is slowing
me down.
To make things easy I have just listed what I
have been up to and added photos at the end.

Some support weapons for my confident,trained
British Rifle Platoon. Only thing that troubled
me was the ammo coming from the Vickers to the
ammo feed guy next to him. I ended up having to
cut the ammo belt to get the fit just right and
its extremely fiddly, which means you are going
to get super glue stuck to your fingers. Apart
from that another quality bit of kit from
Battlefront. Saying that it doesn’t justify
your recent price rise especially in the light
of lots of other 15mm manufacturers now making
equally quality kits and way cheaper prices.

Oh also finished another two 6pdrs to add to my
anti tank bunch 🙂
Two Ultramarine Landspeeders painted in different blues
and painted 2 years apart.
I painted the one on left(no rockets) just over
2 yrs ago in the traditional faded blue colour.
Basically, Macragge Blue, Drakenhof Nighshade,
Altdorf Guard and Calgar Blue.
This a gives a dusty, weathered blue look and I did a basic job.
The newer Landspeeder is more in the modern blue/purple look that
Ultramarines are going. Colour wise its roughly Kantor Blue,Altdorf
Guard and Fenrisian Grey.
This for me is a more an experimental colour as it involves mixing
3 basic colours with each other to get darker and lighter shades
of blue. So much so, I would find it hard to get an exact match again.
I have improved detail wise but I like the old dusty, weathered looking
Ultramarine style to the newer clean look.
Which do you prefer ?
Just got an email from the NOVA OCF raffle saying I
have won the Flames Of War army and KR Multicase 🙂
THE PANZER LEHR WESTERN FRONT ARMY:Raising funds for Wounded Warrior Project
This enormous WWI Flames of War army was created by Steve McCuen who joined forces with Eric FontaineÕs charityFacebook project. FoWÕs company, Battlefront, has been providing support, encouraging players to purchase raffle tickets. The FoW community has been responding with great enthusiasm. This is a ready for battle starter army like no other!
Best bit of luck I`ve had in ages.
I hope they raised a huge amount of money 🙂
