From SylvainR: Tray 01 - 6mm Early WW2 British Vehicles (82 points)

Greetings Challengers, and Happy New Year! Regarding my projects, this time, I am simply continuing where I left last year, with some transport units to complete my B.E.F. army. My  6mm WW2 project is entering its 4th season.

I got a new Iphone and I'm not yet skilled at getting good pictures out of it, so my apologies for the blur in some of the shots. I also used a gaming mat as a background instead of a white cardboard and I will get back to the white cardboard next time.

First, in this first tray, there are 6 elements of 2 cars each, used for various purposes in the game, like transporting observers. The models are from Heroics and Ros and some were painted plain khaki, some with camouflage.

 Then 6 elements of Daimler Dingos, for reconnaissance. These models are also from Heroics and Ros.

Next we have 8 elements of Marmont Herrington III armored cars, made by GHQ. I love the look of early war vehicles like this one. And then I realized that they were never used in France in 1940. Oh well, for the time being they will serve as proxies for the Morris CS9 armored cars.

 No early war British army would be complete without a good number of Light Tanks Mark VI. For the moment I only have 8, but 20 more will soon be ordered to complement the Cruiser Tank Squadrons. I like the boxy look of these little fellas. Models are from GHQ.

 Finally, a squadron of 13 Matilda I, the less successful sister of the Matilda II. As an infantry tank, it was not only slow but also lacked a decent gun and armor. A commentator I read said it was a good thing for the British army to have lost them all in France in 1940, so that better tanks could be built. Anyway, I like their primitive look with the uncovered tracks. Models are from GHQ.

That's it for my first WW2 entry of the Challenge.

Points claimed:

- 41x 6mm vehicles at 2 points each = 82 points

Total = 82 points

Thanks for reading!

Welcome back to the Challenge Sylvain! It is fitting that you should start with more of your tremendous 6mm work. I know I speak for many AHPC veterans when I tell you that we have come to enjoy your prodigious output in this wonderful scale. This submission highlights what you do so well - not just the careful work on the models, but nice basing to help them "pop", and a commitment to a full suite of available vehicles and support roles in any force you collect! Myself I often fell down when it came to painting trucks and the like, even though they were critical!

82 points, and you are off! Happy New Year!
