Gosh there was a longer hiatus between posting than I thought. Carrying on with the odds and ends in Burma 1944. Again Peter Pig 15mm, but this time the carriers and jeep to transport the Sikh MG team that I finished last time. Peter Pig produced these vehicles with headless drivers and a selecion of heads depending on what one wants. This is quite a neat idea until one comes to glue them in place. My poor Sikh passengers look like they have had a very rough night, thanks to my seven thumbs. Why is it that I can glue things to my fingers far easier than I can glue them where I want them to go?
Without further ado here are two carriers with crew and their trusty Vickers MG, plus a jeep for the important people, the ones who point and have binoculars.
Three vehicles in 15mm 8 points each = 24 points.
I placed them on a bridge and put some log bridges in shot as well purely because I told Tamsin I would, I am not including them for points. I say "in shot", I am still getting the hang of photographing things. This competition is actually making me think about things like lighting and stuff.
I also painted some objective markers which i am going to count as figures rather than terrain. They are Peter Pig 15mm parachute cannisters and were easy to paint and are quite small (I have included a figure for scale) but can still be fought over. the background is a Cry Havoc map from the olden times. I thought it looked better than a paint splattered turntable, but I am not 100% convinced.
3 pieces x 2 points each = 6 points for a grand total of 30.

Sylvain: Fabulous work on these British vehicles! The paint job and the basing are top notch. Now, about those terrain pieces... I guess it would be unfair to have you create a new post for the Terrain Czar, Lord Byron. I will grant you 30 points total. Bravo!








Great to see some Burma kit! Well done on these. I feel your pain with gluing heads on tiny figures.
