I decided to take a break from painting horses for the far future (because the horse is still a fine weapon in the 41st Millennium) and start clearing the decks so I can get to work on my secret tech for this year's club competition for Flames of War. The assembly is underway but until I've made some serious progress, you're unlikely to find out what that secret tech is...
So in an effort to make room for the prep to begin, I needed to move the EW from the staging place next to my painting desk to my ACTUAL painting desk. Painting EW armour isn't especially difficult so I thought I should just crack on, platoon by platoon, until it's done.
This is my Leichte Panzerkompanie HQ - a Panzerbefehlswagen, a Panzer I and two Panzer IICs. Excepting the Panzer IIICs, the rest of the army is either Panzer I or Panzer II hulls. Anything else would be fundamentally incorrect!
They all still need markings and I think I know what I want to do given that markings in the invasion of France are kind of all over the shop. I'll do that once the army is done so that it's all vaguely coherent. I am still tempted to put some foliage on them but I'm currently resisting the urge as anti-air defences were simply not a problem the Germans were faced with in this part of the war so that might get left for the Panzerjager Is, the PaK36s and the recce troops.
I also decided I should paint a gun so herewith my first Luftwaffe 88:
I have a pair of these, cobbled together from BF scenic objectives. I appreciate how much more detail there is on the base!
Next Time
More Early War? Maybe my finished Rough Riders? Maybe the finished Baneblade? Maybe what happens when my ADLG Minoans take on the might of Scotty's Warring States Chinese? Some or all of that.
