From MattW: WW2 vehicles and Flak (171 points)

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 




20mm gun @ 8 points
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 
20mm miniatures @ 4 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

Matt

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!

  1. Cheers Teemu,
    Really 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
    Matt
