I‘m currently stuck in a lack of mojo, and also I‘m working on several units at once. Thus it’s taken me a while to get todays submission done.
The PaK38 is a rather nice kit by PSC, but a far cry from Zvezdas offerings. As ever the crew are all AB figures. Frankly the PSC ones, that come with the gun, are utter tosh.
Whenever possible I try to stick with Zvezda with my guns, as they‘re so much nicer than most of what the competitors have on offer. So this leIG 18, leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18, is no exception. The two figures actually manning the gun are als Zvezda figures while the rest, well yes, you guessed it, are AB. Unfortunately AB don’t do a dedicated set of leIG 18 crew, so I had to source these from several different sets. Yet, that’s all part of the fun, isn’t it?
Points:
2x 20mm gun = 16
12x 20mm figure = 48
Total: 64
Thanks for treating us to another gorgeous set of WW2 goodness, Nick. The smaller guns were more common than the sexier 88s, but tend to get short shrift from gamers and sculptors. It's a shame the PSC figures are lacking, and I'm surprised AB don't have a dedicated leIG18 set.

NB: labels, man!
Lovely work Nick, but that’s a given. I do like the mixing and matching of figures and kit.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work as always, Nick! :)
ReplyDeleteStunning work, all the time. Great job Nick.
ReplyDeleteI agree the PSC infantry sculpts can be a bit dodgy - nice that AB are available. I assume to get those AB crew actually manning the gun, you had to purchase a set that included 10 other guys just standing around?
Wow, this is some great painting here Nick!

Oh my goodness, those are simply brilliant. As always a masterclass in how to paint miniatures, and yet your productivity to this standard is so impressive. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely splendid work, Nick. Your brushwork on the guns is just as admirable as your work with the crew. Tiptop stuff.
