AdamC- US Army Halftracks (57 Points)
These are Plastic Soldier Company Half tracks 15mm scale.
My first experience with Plastic Soldier company and I liked the models but I wasn't as impressed with the the figures that came with them.
I did add a few extra men from my bits box including the guy on the left who is Battlefront
As you can see he's in a dark leather jacket benefiting an officer who can buck regulations a bit.
I'm glad to have these as they will be more than adequate as a support unit for my US Armoured company for Flames of War.
We have 5 Half tracks for 30 points and 27 men riding or driving the vehicles for a total of 57 points.
Well Adam you've squeaked this one in just before the buzzer, plus one more. I think you've scored yourself based on 1/2 points for the crewmen as being only demi-men given that only their upper halves are visible. I think that is how Curt normally scores them so I'll go with that unless I hear different.
It's a grimy collection of halftracks that you got there. I think they'll give your infantry fine support. And I like the loose cannon officer in the leather jacket.
Sorry to keep you up late Peter and thanks for getting them posted.
ReplyDeleteHaving painted this set before I found them very fiddly to put together. So as far as I am concerned anyone that just puts them together has done a good job. So the painting is a bonus. A Good job well done I should say. I hope they serve you well on the wargames table.
ReplyDeleteI though they went togther fairly well, but thanks, I'm fairly pleased with how they came out.
DeleteA very useful unit.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteNice unit :)
ReplyDeleteyou don't mind the small scale? ;)
DeleteReady to roll Hell's Highway! Grand stuff.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are and ready to be burning wrecks when I misjudge how far the germans can move and/or shoot.
DeleteThat's a nice little unit. Well done sir.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGreat job Adam. I've had a similar experience with PSC - great vehicles in 15mm, but the infantry models are very soft, and detail vanishes with a single coat of paint...their larger (20mm) infantry are much nicer.
ReplyDeleteyeah the troops realy frustrated me they looke ok befor I primed them... but once I did they seems to become simple blobs. Glad to hear you had similar expereince as I didn't think I screwed up priming them.
DeleteGood looking HTs Adam.
ReplyDeleteNice trucks, Adam! The troops may not be to your liking, but I'm sure they'll do better now they have some color! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done. Great unit Adam.
ReplyDeleteNice work, I love PSC vehicles although I stick to 20mm.

Thank you all I do like the over all impression but the detail on the halftrack gave me higher expecations for the soldiers.
