From Dallas: 18-pounder Gun and Crew plus T-64s! (64 points)

Still waiting on the last base needed to clear the Hall of Heroes, but I have to keep up with painting and posting lest I fall out of the top 20 on the league table! So here are three 15mm T-64 tanks from Battlefront's "Team Yankee" range to add to my growing Soviet force.

These models are just great - easy to assemble, well detailed, and simple to paint. I have the magic Krylon camo spray and it's awesome... one coat, Agrax Earthshade, drybrush highlight, some chips and dirt, done!

The only problem is that I'm now officially out of different-numbered decals for the T-64s...

The next models up are a British 18-pounder field gun and crew from Great War Miniatures.

The gun is commanded by a Second Lieutenant with a megaphone (!). I figured I had to mark it with the ubiquitous Broad Arrow for HM War Dept. property.

The gun comes with a six-man metal crew, plus a pile of shell casings.

 

Two of the crew are in shirtsleeve order. Uniforms are Mournfang Brown. I highlighted the puttees with Death World Forest just to add a bit of variety to the look.

Here's the boys. One of the awkward elements though is the fact that the traversing handle is cast onto the crewman...

You also get two lads cast to sit on the seats. Say hello boys!

Anyway that's the update... three 15mm tanks are 24 points, 28mm field gun is 10 points plus six crew for 30... total is 64 points. Hopefully that keeps me in the top 20 for a bit :-)

Stay safe everyone!
