By JamesL: Stuh 42 with infantry support (18 points)

Been a while since I have made my weekly submission, but thought I would escalate the cuteness challenge started by PaulOG and his lovely photobombing beagle pup, with these shots of our 2 week old ducklings providing (amphibious) infantry support to a Warlords 28mm Stuh 42.
This Stuh has been sitting around undercoated for a long time in my collection, and I finally thought it was time to bring it into action.
Around the same time we had 4 ducklings hatch from a collection of duck eggs we had inherited from a friend, and upon which we sat our broody duck to hatch them. We decided to hand rear these ones as there were other older ducklings who were showing signs of jealousy and safety could not be assured.
This one is training to be an Assault Gun rider, although more practice required.... The Stuh itself was painted with an Army Painter spray then Vallejo paints and wash for the rest. No ducklings were hurt in the making of this post, although I did have to clean duck poo off the tank commander afterwards.....

By Paul.  Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong week to try and out-cute my puppy photobombs.  Hell hath no fury like a Minion scorned! -100 points :-)

  1. Nice StuH James - and it is impressive that the infantry support IS amphibious...

  5. Ducklings .... automatic best entry of the Chellenge award ... unless Sylvain can get his Grand Fleet with otters, or, I dunno, Dave with a real camel ...

  6. You are stooping to new lows in cuteness, but I like the Stuh anyway.

  8. Ducklings and a Stuh!? didn't see that coming. I do like the tank, hopefully the ducklings were not excessive in weathering the beastie! ;)
