I have been on a mission this week to complete a number of 20mm WW2 vehicles and guns to clear the decks a little and complete something for the build.
First up a Flak 88 for my 16 Luftwaffe Field Division project
Next six supply Jeeps for my 90th Infantry Projects. The jeeps are resin from Raventhorpe with Drivers are AB and Alder Miniatures.
Finally a Armoured caterpillar D7 Bull Dozer for my Engineers from Raventhorpe
1 x flak gun = 8 points
20mm vehicle @ 15 points
15 points 6 x US jeeps = 90 points
15 points 1 x Bulldozer = 15 points
5 x Flak 88mm crew = 20 points
9 Jeep drivers and crew = 36 points
half dozer driver @ 2 points driver = 2 points
Total points. = 171 points
Cheers

TeemuL: Nice to see the "default gun" of WW2 German wargamers, Flak 88. Just add a couple King Tigers and Jagd Panthers and you have a nice army to wonder how Germans lost the war. But no, you seem to have taken the historical road here and added jeeps and a bulldozer, excellent! You don't see that many bulldozers on wargaming tables, good to see at least one in this Challenge. I have a faint recollection of seeing some others, too, but I can't be sure. And 20mm, the bulldozer definitely looks larger, so you have done great brushwork on it!
Cheers Teemu,
ReplyDeleteReally happy with the Raventhorpe dozer. Last year I started using artists oils and pre mixed oils for weathering 20mm, it is very subtle and gives I nice finish. The weathering powders are good too, used them for a long time.
More 20mm coming next week
Cheers

Great work. I always shudder when I see an 88 placed on the table...unless it's on my side of course :) The jeeps are great, but the bulldozer is so eye-catching and cool!
ReplyDeleteCheers Adam
DeleteLove the dozer.
ReplyDeleteYes really happy with it
DeleteBrilliant as always
ReplyDeleteCheers Martin
DeleteAll of it really nice, but like the 88 in particular!

Thanks Christopher, the towed version and vehicle to come in the next week or so.
DeleteNice top up - love the dozer - but just the one eh!
ReplyDeleteYes, still researching the other two!
DeleteGreat mix of models. Nice to see the carriage wheels for the 88.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bruce, I like to have a deployed model and a towed model, hopefully complete the towed version in the coming weeks
DeleteNice painting and weathering. The smaller scales seem to promote including more support vehicles
ReplyDeleteYes, I enjoy adding extra vehicles and bits to my collection
DeleteGreat work on these rigging 88, but I love that dozer
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter
DeleteGreat looking vehicles Matt, especially the bulldozer
ReplyDeleteThanks really happy with it, two more to paint!
DeleteExcellent additions to collection Matt.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
DeleteGreat combination of kit and I like the logistics aspect - many jeeps - a dozer plus the colour execution suits my eye
ReplyDeleteCheers, I airbrush the base, with a small highlight, then dry brush some bits, oil or acrylic filter, then weathering
DeleteVery nice and slightly unusual, I like it! Yes, the dozer is the eyecatcher, great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes a nice piece
DeleteThose are really well done Matt
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteGorgeous stuff, Matt.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mate
