KenR : 28mm Desert Transport (120 Points)

This is hopefully the first of three (yes three) entries this week, I have been off work and with the rest of the household out during the day I have managed to be rather productive, in fact, the way things are I might get a few more weeks of this output level. [well-done lad! Lee]

So for this entry, there is a rather large change of pace from the flouncy shirts and bright colours of the Italian Wars Project, we have gone all dull and boring and deserty! So boring it's not even a tank.

Needed for an upcoming game, before the end of the challenge, we have 6 x 28mm trucks from Anyscale Models. There are 3 CMP trucks and 3 Bedford's, I did one each of these for the Challenge last year and these 6 flesh them out so I have enough soft skinned goodies to transport 2 x Companies of Infantry in our Rules.

These are pretty basic fare, functional, who at the end of the day can get excited by a truck. Anyscale Models are an excellent source of low-cost vehicles, at 20 English Pounds a pop for most 28mm vehicles I am always reluctant to pay the same price for a tank as a soft skin. Well, Anyscale have solved that with their models, these are approx half price of a standard 28mm model so when you are buying in 8s like me that's a big difference, 80 or 160 pounds, you choose.

Detail is good if unspectacular and there is the odd minor defect but for the price they are well worth it. I have added some decals and hand painted the Division markings of the 2nd South African Infantry Division which are what my troops are.

6 x 28mm vehicles at 20 points a piece should be 120 points.

Don't worry there is some Italian Wars stuff coming 😉

Excellent vehicles mate. I've painted plenty of these myself, albeit at 6mm scale. These look really nice and the decals are the perfect finishing touch. The first of three today??? Promises promises!
