Die Waffenkammer Panzer IV

This is my Panzer IV from Die Waffenkammer. The Schürzen was a bit of a pain to assemble but other than that it’s a great detailed kit. I will probably add some mud at some point but I will do that when I have a few vehicles ready to go as it’s easier to make up a bigger batch of gloop I use as a mud mix (Normally PVA, sand, tea leaves, plaster and paint in fairly random amounts until it looks right)

I am making decent progress on both the Tiger and the SDKFZ 250/1 so I should have them up next week some time. I have also got a couple of other German vehicles assembled and ready to prime so they will be on the workbench soon. On top of this I have made a start on the last 6 German infantry I have still to paint. Once they are done I will probably crack on with the various US bits I have still to finish. All my US infantry are base coated and washed so I should be able to get through them fairly quick.

Dads Army

I have painted up a few bits since the last update but I have not had chance to photograph them until now. First up are these “Dads army” figures from Wargames Foundry. I picked these up second had at a show and they are great figures. I think they were sculpted by the Perry twins and they look very much like the on screen characters that inspired them. Wargames foundry also to a civilian character pack so I think I will pick that up at some point as well. These don’t really fit in with any or my armies but they were fun to paint and will be good for the odd scenario driven game involving my Fallshirmjagers.

In addition to these guys I have finished off the Panzer iv and painted the plague faction starter from Deadzone so I will get photos up of those soon. I have started work on my Tiger and sdkfz 250/1 as well. On top of that the German vehicals from my trade arrived to I have more halftracks and soft skins to be getting on with.
