From DaveD - T64’s for 7 Days to the Rhine - 40 pts

I have all manner of stuff on the paint desk part way through , and this is the first unit completed . 5 T64’s for my Group of Soviet Forces to race to the river Rhine. They will be helping crushing capitalist Ian’s BAOR in our upcoming campaign game. I have a few more units to add to my Soviets in due course.

A simple rattle can paint job with oil washes and highlights . The kits are Battlefront for Team Yankee , they are a simple build and went together easily.


Aerials are made from fishing line - always like to add a bit extra detail on 15s 



5 x 15mm Vehicle = 40pts 

Moderns duel - 40 pts 

***

Thanks Dave - these Battlefront models sure look lovely, and as you say, some quick work, especially when one cheats using oils, is sufficient to get an excellent-looking result. "Seven Days To The River Rhine" is indeed a fantastic set of rules (if I inferred correctly from the title of your post that you are planning to use them?). Good luck with your project - all Challenge veterans have come to expect your tremendous progress on these projects, very nice.

  6. Great work Dave. To think that some of these (in 1:1 scale) have been cooking off in Ukraine for the past couple of years...
