From RossM:10 & 15mm AFV Vehicles (86 Points)

Another AHPC draws to a close; a small dent in the piles of shame made and a final post for this year. 

First up are a small selection of armour cars for the D.A.K in World War 2. These are from Pendraken Miniatures and are 10mm in scale. 

The front row shows two Sd.Kfz. 221 (MG) armoured cars with the rear row showing three Sd.KFz. 222 armoured cars. When painting these models the undercoat has been Panzer grey to darken down the final colour and also to reflect the process of how the vehicles were originally over painted in desert colours. 

Washes and subtle dry brushing have been used to bring the overpainted colours together. 

Next up are two set of vehicles from the ongoing Bundeswehr project for Team Yankee. The first set of pics shows a zug of M109 Self propelled artillery pieces with a M113 OP in tow.  These have been painted using the same process as previous 

Next up is a zug of Marder I, sadly without their supporting Panzer Grenadiers who are currently sitting in the butterfly offerings of started but not finished models for this year's Challenge.  

The NATO Camo Vehicle wash from AK has been a great find and has really set the tone for this project.

Apologies on the lighting for the Bundeswehr vehicles, struggled to get a decent set up this evening for this.  

So, another challenge finishes and the action of painting across the darker months of the year has given motivation to continue with several projects as well as some bits just for the fun of it. It is a hobby after all. 

In terms of points, the following can be added to the tally

10mm vehicles x 5 equaling 30 points

15mm vehicles x 7 equalling 56 points

I have made donations to Cancer Research UK and Diabetes UK Charities as my contribution for taking part. 

 

Thanks for looking and a huge thank you to you all for AHPC XVI

Cheers for now
