From JohnB: The Sinews of War Continues! 3No. 1/72 scale CMP trucks (45points)

I have been busy painting during this challenge and while not making models, my weekly offering has been sidetracked because I chose to do this years THREE BONUS THEMES. I have now completed the three bonus themes and posted them. First - Empire - Hungarians 1848 1/72 Hat figures.

Second - Toy Story - Duke of Berwicks Irish Regiment (wild geese) from the back cover of "Charge or how to play wargames" These were Strelets 1/72 Austrians (from War of the Spanish Succession) figures

Third - Rebels - Tumbling Dice 1/72 ECW Scots Covenanters - Colonel de Bois Regiment of Foot

I had not realised that they get corralled away from the weekly posting. Anyway here is my next offering to the Tuesday Terrors which just happens to be more Sinews of War in the shape of another 3 trucks. Somewhere in deepest Fauxterre.......

This time they are 1/72 plastics from the Plastic Soldier Company. The CMP truck was according to the box blurb a chevrolet manufactured mostly in Canada for British Empire forces.

Now which way do we go??

The canvas covers, drivers and wooden bodywork got a sepia wash finish but otherwise the paints were used straight out the pot. Yet on this occasion instead of using my usual Vallejo paint selection out of the blue I dug out some of my old citadel paints - still going strong (these are pre 2012 era). And I do think the Knarloc Green is very suitable for these trucks.

Points wise I think I get 3 vehicles at 15 points each = 45 points in total and like all my submissions so far I think I can claim some squirrels as the earlier trucks were corgi toys models at 1/60 scale?

Well thats it for now - not sure what might appear next!

Sorry about the confusion on the Theme Rounds John, but yes they have their set days, own tab and are officiated by the Snow Lord.  I've left your photos for the next two rounds as teasers, and you are appealing to my old school heart on both counts.

I always like to see transport on table, and that's a great looking trio of soft targets that should be very useful.  I confirm the 45 points, but you'll have to taker the squirrel count up with the Squirrels Finder General.  I've tagged the post so that he can find it more easily.
