JamesM - 15mm D7 Armoured Bulldozer (10 points)

Hi folks,

Having been distracted this week by prepping for a big game and re-vamping an Anti-Tank platoon I first painted 5 or so years ago, I did manage to get one model painted:

This is the second one of these I've painted for my collection. The first was also done a few years ago and was significantly darker, so I gave it another highlight as well:

As the older one was marked up for one of the Assault Engineer units of 79th Armoured Division, (149th Assault Park Squadron Royal Engineers - one of the Brigade assets of 1st Assault Brigade Royal Engineers), I marked the new one up as the Royal Engineers 239 Field Park Company, 51st Highland Division. You can see what time does to static grass, and how my painting has got a lot lighter over the years!

Decals include the WD number on both sides of the hull, as well as identification stars.

The model is from Skytrex, and includes the 15mm crew figure I painted the other week with my naval crew but didn't claim points for. He's just the upper torso, so I've only claimed half the points.

This model has already seen some action, having participated in Sunday's v4 Flames of War game - doing some ad-hoc earthworks to help vehicles over an embankment!

So 1 x 15mm vehicle = 8 points, and .5 of a crew figure = 1 point. Total of 9 points. It may take me some time to get to 750!!!

Nice dozer. I have seen one of these running at a Living history show and they are a really hardy piece of kit. The guy that owned it said they were easy to maintain and solidly built meaning they just go on and on. I've scored full points for the driver so this entry is worth 10 points in total.
