More German Troops

Busy week, got several more models finished.  Started out with completing the 75mm Infantry Gun with 3 crewmen.  The gun and crew are all Black Tree Design 28mm.  Each model including the gun are mounted on metal bases for safe transportation.

Nex completed the Black Tree Design 28mm MG34 in the Heavy Machine Gun role.  Again the model is mounted on a rather large metal fender washer. 

The last model was the Tamiya 1/48 Scale Panzer IIA/B/C.  I chose to build the B model and added a Bolt Action 28mm Early War Panzer crewman from Warlord Games.  This model was a joy to build, going together in approximately an hour.  I was initially somewhat hesitant to get this model as I hate assembling the individual track links but was plesantly surprised.  The tracks were so easy that even I could do it with little problem.  To complete the model I added a few spare stowage parts laying around in my extras box. 

This model also compares nicely with the diecast Panzer 38T and scales nicely with the Black Tree Design Germans.

Overall, the German Army is coming together.  I have a few more figures to paint, a couple of Panzer 38Ts to repaint and a PAK 36/37 then they will be ready to battle my brothers Polish Army.

Second Squad

Just finished the Second Squad and got started on the 3rd.  All are 28mm Black Tree Design Early WW2 German Infantry.  These came out fairly nice especially considering how little I paid for them. 

I also finished up the Company B models Sdkfz 221.  Added a Bolt Action Early War tank commander from Warlord Games.  These are very nice models and as you can see, match nicely with the Black Tree Infantry as well as the 1/48 scale Diecast Panzer 38T.

 

Also added a few more decals to the Panzer 38T as well did a little dry brushing to add more detail to the model.

 

Will complete the rest of the Regular Army Infantry, finish up the 75mm Infantry Gun then will start on the Waffen SS.

The 1st Squad

     My brother and I have decided to switch sides, he will build the Polish Army and I the Germans.  Neither of us has built these armies so should be fun.

       Since I’m building the Germans, figured that I needed to get a jump on my brother.  He has always been the considerably better builder and painter as well as being much faster than me.   I decided to build a Squad at a time, with a vehicle in between each.   I completed the first of each last week but am just now getting a chance to take some pictures and post them.  All are 28mm Black Tree Design and mounted on 25mm metal fender washers. 

     The Panzer 38T came out nice, especially considering it’s a 1/48 scale diecast model .  I removed the tracks, primed and painted it in Model Masters Euro-Grey.  Then went back and repainted the details, washed the whole model in brown acrylic from apple barrel and applied the decals.  The size of the model goes very well with the BTD early war German Infantry.

 

     After finishing prepping the next squad had to make a choice.  Fat Tire or Hefe Weissbier.
