From MilesR 28MM Japanese and Soviet Tanks (60 points)


 Next up we have MilesR with an early entry into next weeks Epic Fail Category.  Miles created this fancy spreadsheet that we Minions use to keep track of you all.  It tells us among other things, what day of the week each challenge participant is supposed to post.  But Miles couldn't read his own spreadsheet which clearly shows him as a Saturday poster and tried to post on Monday instead. 


Four 28mm WW2 tanks in this submission.  All of the vehicles are from Trenchworx's "Tanks in Manchuria" kickstarter.  As I've 
mentioned before, the models from Trenchworx are superb and just really fun to put together and Paint up.


 From left to right there is a Soviet OT-26 Flame tank, A Japanese Type 97 Chi-Ha, a Type 95 Ha-Go and a second Chi-Ha

 The other side.  The camo pattern is loosely based on what the Japanese used in Burma.  I think it looks good.
 The first Ch-Ha medium tank.  Compared to allied tanks this was medium in name only.
 The second Chi-Ha.  I broker the metal arial piece when shaping to to match the turret so this tank has some "battle damage"
Lastly, a close up of the Soviet flame tank.

Four tanks at 15 points each should give me 60 points for this entry - one of three I'll be making today.







Ok teasing aside, these are four great little tanks Miles.  I have similar battle damaged figures to your hurt tankette.  The camo looks good to me and I have to say that these are very goofy little toys.  Well done.

  6. Miles should be sent to the naughty corner for this. Or you could just have left it for Curt to adjudicate and post on Saturday ;)

    Very nice tanks Miles :)

  8. How do I keep missing these great Kickstarters?! It makes me crazy. These look awesome Miles. I really like your cammo and weathering, especially with the exhausts.

  9. The cream/yellow lines really break up the silhouette of the vehicles. It works very well. More great tanks. Super stuff!

  13. Always a fan of Japanese tank camo, even if the tanks were hardly worth the effort. Great job!

  14. These were a lot of fun to paint up - Trenchworx makes some fantastic stuff. I think they are the best vehicle provider on the market now.
