Hi guys
Some Warlord Games SS I have finished on commission, I have mixed feelings towards these figures, most of them are nice, proportions are good, but a couple of the poses are a bit funny, some have cartoonish faces, others are quite nice, and the one running with his rifle across his chest has the most absurd head I have seen on a 28mm figure, his helmet goes below his nose, there's no way he could see, but overall I think they are OK.

Beautiful paintjob on mediocre (at best) figures. The shading is superb.
-
Lovely paint work :-* :-* :-*
Had a look at your blog, some very nice stuff.
Can you tell us a bit about the crawler at the top of the page?
-
I agree about the infamous helmet, it looks straight from a 70s B movie... or when I was a kid and tried an Italian Army helmet... lol or when I was trying the different size of K-pots to get my size when I entered the Army Academy... (I was a tad on the small size at the time... let's say I was the first cadet when we lined up in height order... o_o
for the rest of the miniatures, some looks awesome, some less so, but I will not say they are mediocre at best... I agree that sometime Warlord has some top notch dud... but I would say the best of the line are really nice, plus the painting is awesome. Great work!

Thanks guys
Hi Gamer Mac - the crawler is a converted Matchbox snowplough, I removed the blade, changed the tracks with model tank tracks, added the screen guards, I made it and the crew as part of a swap on another forum, I have another snowplough to make myself one, one day.
-
I agree about the figures, very Battle Comics stylistically. That said they do have a certain something painted nicely. As these are!

Hi guys
The second half of a Bolt action SS force completed, not sure why, but my camera had trouble focusing, so some of the pics are a bit blurry, this batch was a mix of Warlord games and another manufacturer, not sure who, the other guys are a bit bigger and have no base (which is a pain for painting) but look a bit more natural.

Hi guys
Have just finished making/paint 64 plastic Warlord German Grenadiers on commission, a big job, around 65hrs work.
As far as the kit goes, I like them better then the metal Bolt action figs, they are better proportioned and the faces are less cartoony, due to them being plastic the detail isn't as crisp as the metals, but they are still pretty good, my only issues with them is they really could do with more arm options, they need a straight left and right carrying arm so you can pose them carrying weapons at the trail, and they need a pointing arm, it's pretty cliché but good for command poses, also they don't have any shoulder boards/straps, it would be interesting to see how the parts interchange with the other Warlord German plastic infantry kits, I have a project forming in the back of my mind, but that's for the distant future.

Hi guys, just finished a batch of WWII US GIs on commission, I believe these are bolt action figures, not bad apart from a couple of cartoony faces, all comments welcome.

Very nice painting 8)
I'm pretty sure the US figures are from Black Tree ;)
-
sorry, my mistake
-
Lovely paint work Had a look at your blog, some very nice stuff.
Can you tell us a bit about the crawler at the top of the page?
Agreed!! Fine painting!
I looked but didn't see any more crawler pics.
Any other views available?
Being Matchbox is it 28mm, or closer to 15?
Thanks for sharing!!

Hi Valerik
Heres a link to more pics, the figures in the pics are 15mm, I would say the scale is probably 1/76 or 20mm, but works well as a 15mm sci fi vehicle.

Here is a pic of the model before I converted it.

15mm figs huh?
No wonder I didn't find it, wasn't even lookin' there...
Sure they aren't 18s?
You, Sir, do FINE work, on bits I can't even see, much less paint!!
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q72TBzCaxXA/Tm3iVegK4YI/AAAAAAAADoE/4AzD9c7ydTg/s400/DSC07727.JPG)
Looks quite the business & well in scale for the figures no matter how tall they ain't.
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UCx2xp9XGrs/Tm3iXWGroWI/AAAAAAAADoU/2o5nYJeYgmQ/s400/DSC07725.JPG)
I do like your iteration of the oversized transport, especial the mesh guard panels.
The Industrial Yellow, corporate markings, & weathering are perfect.
15s huh?
Dayum...
Thankee kindly Gunner!
N.B. The world simply won't believe I'm already using a similar Matchbox beastie for a Foundation Foundation jungle crawler.
I am only cannibalizing its tracks 'cause of the broken wheel gone missing...
Everyone will know I stole Gunner Dunbar's brilliance.

:o Very good painting on very dynamic figures!

Hi Valerik
Thanks, the figs are 15mm not 18mm, and very slender build, you can find them here

Hi guys
Finished this batch of 28mm FJs on commission, customer wanted them to be suitable for any front, so added in some desert yellow helmets/pants, these are mostly Warlords plastic FJs, with 4 metals mixed in. I'm pretty impressed with this plastic set, they are very nice, however, I think they have used some parts from the Grenadiers set (the officers head) would have been nice if it was all new.

Hi guys
2 batches of Germans finished on commission, a mix of figures, Warlord, Victory force (without bases) and the odd Black tree design, of the 3 I like the BTD first then warlord then VF, Warlord would be the best if they got rid of the cartoony faces.

Great stuff Dan !
-
That's quite a collection :o 8)
-
yeah, pity I don't own even 1 of them.
-
Dont worry Dan, Ill enjoy them ;) :)
-
Wow, they look fab.
What colours do you use for the field grey bits of uniform? I've got a bunch of germans to paint up and want to do them as just plain old vanilla troops. Any guidance on paints would be appreciated.
-
I used Vallejo field grey for the pants and field blue for the jackets, Russian uniform for the plain jump smocks, when doing Heer troops in plain field grey I make at least 3 different shades of field grey by adding khaki or khaki grey to the field grey, and painting pants and tops in the different shades, this way they look a bit more realistic whilst still looking uniform, if you Google German uniforms you will see there was a lot of variation in colours, this is due to different factories using different dyes and the Germans redying and reissuing captured uniforms.

Hi guys
A batch of German and US Paras finished on commission, these are from offensive miniatures, the first time I have painted this companies figs, they are on the smaller end of the scale for 28mm, and wouldn't mix well with Warlord or Artizan, but would probably suit Perry's figs (though I have not seen Perry's WWII in the hand) just heard they are also on the smaller end, I like the US figs more than the Germans, they look more serious and realistic, but overall they are all OK.

Nice work as usual
I wonder if the German FJ would mix with the Wargames Foundry ones?
-
Not sure, I haven't ever painted their Fallschirmjagers, but if their Norman's are anything to go by they would be to small.
-
More nice work Dan and I agree that the US paras are the "nicer" of the two. Also got some Foundry Brits and Germans to do here at some stage this year which will be the first decent batch of gaming figs I've painted in a while ....
cheers
Brent
-
Very nice work!! ;)
-
Gunner Dunbar is right - Offensive are on small side, so mix well with Perrys (I have done this with some Italians and they fit in so well I can't figure out which figures are which) but would be way small vs Foundry. Their FJ and DAK are rather good, wish they would do some more.

very nice
-
Very good, especially the spiv (very Carlos Ezquerra). His rifle definitely fell off the back of a lorry.
-
Nice work :) I agree that the Offensive minis probably wouldn't sit that well with the WF ones, for while they're no-where near as chunky as WG, they are pretty much the same height.

Hi guys
Some 28mm D.A.K figures finished on commission, enjoyed painting these immensely, don't get to paint D.A.K very often, theses are Artizan figures, some have had headswaps.

Hi guys
Well, I was going to call this group and tutorial done, but as the pastel carrier fluid dried it has gone white around the wheel area, mustn't have stirred it properly, and I think the pastel I have used may be to bright anyway, so I may re do that step, pics aren't great, poor lighting here today, obscuring all the weathering detail, last pics are of the next group of vehicles I'll be working on, also need to do the infantry for this early war German force, all comments welcome.
Heaps more pics here

Very well done! A sadly overlooked force certainly...

Yes, don’t see to many Italian armies, bad rep I suppose, but I think the average soldier performed as well as any other, lots of equipment problems I think.

Hi guys
A model I have been wanting to do for a while as a command piece is Peiper seated in his schwimmwagen, the missing-lynx braille scale board is running a bottletop challenge (basically to build a model that fits in a milk bottle lid) so I thought I would finally do this little piece. The figs will need to be converted to fit the scene.
It wont have much use in a Chain of command platoon, but I'm thinking of turning it into a patrol marker.

Interesting challenge, famous photo but do you really wish to commemorate an infamous war criminal? Peiper was a nasty piece of work.
-
Just a model mate, I won’t get into the wrongs or rights of WWII military modelling, or any military modelling for that matter, what are you even doing on this board? I have even painted a miniature of Napoleon, the English would not be happy, let alone the Spanish, I have paint soviets, imagine what a Pole would think, I have even painted Romans, now that’s a can of worms.
-
Yep, I know it’s just a model and I’m well aware that a lot of the participants in the Second World War committed war crimes but when you model a specific individual who was an infamous war criminal that takes it into another space. For what it’s worth I have WW2 Japanese but I wouldn’t be modelling the personalities responsible for Sandakan or the horrors of Changi.
Horses for courses I suppose.

Interesting project
How big are milk bottle tops where you are?

Wargaming is like story telling, a good story has hero’s and villains, this character is just a villain to be run over by toy Sherman on a wargaming table, nothing more, nothing less.

The rules say 37mm, so should be good.

Ooh, ooh, the nasty man made me think!
As I said, horses for courses and if you are prone to throwing around silly phrases like social justice points, it’s clear enough what sort of horse you back and which course you prefer.
Pity, you have quite some talent as a modeller/ painter. Sleep tight!

Oh, and you will be happy to know, it turns out that picture is not of Peiper, it has apparently been mislabeled, I intend to make that vignette anyway as it was the scene and vehicle I wanted to re create, not necessarily Peiper.
-
Wargaming… a can of worms indeed, I always have a though about peoples that suffered from war thru out history. Still, I enjoy the hobby… even if it imply "playing" around some of the darker aspects of humanity…
I don’t know of any nation or civilisation thru history that produced anything other than a mix of good and bad peoples…
...please just enjoy the hobby 8)

There's something about the Schwimmwagen that I've always liked. Be nice to have one. But if I did I think I would paint it in swirling psychedelic colours like a 60s dune buggy. I think such a pattern would be so suited for the vehicle. We actually had hymn books with a cover design like that when I was in primary school. Jesus was right in the middle of his "groovy" phase back then, and I have kept that scheme in my mind ever since.
That is a famous photo, but I didn't know Peiper was one of those guys, I was quite interested to discover this fact. But now it turns out it wasn't him at all. Oh well. :)
I visited Malmedy as a teenager, and it gave me the same kind of sobering chills you get when going to a concentration camp. So I can see where objections might come from (when I discovered what happened to Peiper I wasn't particularly upset about it), but making a model of something doesn't signify approval of the subject matter's outlook or actons. It isn't really the same thing as having a statue of them erected in front of your town hall. Beginning to wonder if it is time I removed the Confederate flags from my 1:600 scale ships. Lord knows, I don't want to upset anyone.
Edited for typos and generally not making any sense.

Mines not even a display model, it’s a character in a game, not even an important one, leading the troops around, just a patrol marker, I think it OK to have historical characters good or bad on a wargaming table, what if you had a game where you wanted to take out Hitler? Sorry you can make the model, he was a bad guy.

Hi guys
Have done some work on the Schwimmwagen vignette, still need to add some detail to the left seated figure, and some gear in the car, thinking of filling out the set o 3 CoC patrol recon markers with a Kettengrad and either a Kubel or a BMW sidecar.

Looking good Gunner. Gotta love a schwimmwagen. I'm waiting on the imminent release of the Rubicon 1/56 scale kit (Yes, apparently even the DAK used them in the Western Desert ::) lol)
That's definitely not Peiper in the picture. Peiper was one of the Reich's foremost pin-up / poster boys - tall, handsome and immaculately styled. He was a bonafide battlefield commander of course (as well as a war criminal), and was right in the thick of it in the Ardennes. But I somehow doubt he'd ever have appeared quite as down, dirty and ratlike as the lower ranking SS men in that photo.
-
Looking forward to seeing your Schwimmwagen, yeah, only found out it wasn’t Peiper, I don’t really care , for me the vehicle is the centrepiece, and it was only ever going to be a patrol maker, I only play skirmish at 20mm and don’t need regimental commanders.

The phrase "That’s some bad hat, Harry…" would apply to that driver ;D

I wouldn't pay mind to any niggling, unless it is constructive criticism. Right, carlos?
There's a book called "Battle of the Bulge: Then and Now" by Jean Paul Pallud in which he corrects people in assuming it is Peiper. In case you need to quote a source to silence any more niggling. It holds a few variations of the shot as well, if you need more perspectives. Do what you like with the model, there's enough people out there modelling Wehrmacht and SS, seemingly out of the equal fascination that some people collect crusaders, japanese or mass murdering space faring inquisition in smurf blue armour. Do what you like Dunbar.

Nice little build.

Hi guys
A quick preview of my next CoC army, Gebirgsjagers, these are still very much work in progress, I'm going to give most of them anoraks, ropes, mountaineering picks etc, I'll do more pics when the conversions are done.

Great conversion work as usual. Loads of ideas! So which figs did you use for the basis of your conversions?

I’ve got figs from all over the joint in this group, PSC, Pegasus, Italeri, Imex, zvezda, Armourfast, AB, Elhiem and Caesar, and they come from multiple sets within those.

Hi guys
I was going to do 1 each of a schwimmwagen, Kettenkrad and and kubel as my recon makers for chain of command, but I found this old schwimmwagen in my stash, built 17 years ago, its the Hase kit, I dont like the base coat, to desert yellow in colour, so will re paint it to match this new one, I will buy a third and have a set of 3 as recon makers.
I will be brush painting these, I don't have a dedicated airbrush set up and it takes to much effort to set everything up for 2 kits (that's why I spray paint in batches) I will apply the camo using pastel chalks.
Need to crack on with these only a few days of the challenge to go.

Hi guys
I couldn't find my cadmium oxide which is used for the green camo (its been 15 years since I used it) so tried to mix up some using raw umber and a light green, but its very light, might have to go over it with paint, the red brown came out OK, its all sealed under a matt coat now. Going to do some more work on these this arvo, lots more work needed on the figs to.

Hi guys
Another Braille scale group build challengehttps://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/the-next-group-build-start-and-finish-dates-t320238.html (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/the-next-group-build-start-and-finish-dates-t320238.html) starts this week, this time the topic is "anti", anti tank, or anti aircraft, towed, tracked or wheeled and any gun pressed into either role for any period, this is a 20 week long build.
Rather than start another build (I have lots of kits that fit that category) I thought I would use the opportunity to get a few shelf queens finished, these will be my entries.
2 x Stug IIIG late
1 x Romanian Tacam T60
1 x Romanian cannone da 47/32 (with crew)
1 x Pak 40 (with my winter FJs crew)

Can't you just concentrate on one model instead of putting everyone else to shame by doing so many :D

Hi guys
My Gebirgsjager conversions for Coc are finished and ready for undercoating, all accept the pack mules, need to detail their load, I'm pretty happy with these guys, I've used figures from all over the shop, what do you think?

Patrol markers.

:-* :-* :-* Some great Gebirgsjager conversions!!!!!!!!!! It gives me loads of ideas. So how long did it take you?
-
Amazing conversions! That must've been a lot of work, but it makes the collection very unique. :D
-
Thanks guys, how long did it take? Not entirely sure, I just pluck away at it will watching TV, it probably does take as long as you would think.
-
Did the pack mules have to be jump qualified to serve in the FJ? ;)
-
He would if he was serving with FJs, but these are mountain troops.
-
Just out of curiosity (and apologies of its already been answered elsewhere in this thread), but what sort of service did that Romania service see with the German military? I'd imagine that it did cross pollinate to an extent - considering the presence Romania had during the war -, but didn't come across much on the subject when I was looking at it myself a while ago (I do like the look of their converted vehicles, but don't want to start a Romanian or Soviet army just yet).

The expeditionary force, 'Army Group Antonescu,' was composed on 22 June 1941 of the 3rd Army, the 4th Army, the 2nd Army Corps, and the 11th Infantry Division.[9] The 3rd Army comprised the 4th Army Corps (6th and 7th Infantry Divisions), the Cavalry Corps, the Mountain Corps, two separate artillery battalions, a TA unit, and the Air Force's 3rd Army Cooperation Command. The 4th Army consisted of the 3rd Army Corps, the 5th Army Corps, the 11th Army Corps (two fortress brigades), and the 4th Army Cooperation Command. The army group-level 2nd Army Corps, under Major General N. Macici, controlled the 9th and 10th Infantry Divisions and the 7th Cavalry Brigade. Additionally the 1st Armoured Division was formed for service on the Eastern Front
From Wikipedia, quiet substantial.

The book "Third axis, fourth ally" holds some information on it, as it is regarded as a treasure trove of info on the subject, by Mark Axworthy, sadly it is rather hard to come by and expensive.
-
Oh yes, that was my point exactly. The Romanians had tonnes of troops in service. Rather my query was if there's many accounts of the Germans using there gear, in the case of Gunner Dunbar's models I'm assuming. Of course anything can happen in war so its justified, it was just a curiosity on whether there's any accounts.
...Because I was thinking of doing the same thing. :)

Wiki holds some info on the Tacam T-60 and its uses.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TACAM_T-60
Apart from that, no idea. Tankopedia might have some more info. ???

Hi Wyrmalla
I don’t have any Romanian gear used by my Germans, I do have a Romanian army though with plenty of Romanian gear.

Hi guys
A large batch of 20mm WWII Russians finished on commission, this is half of a WWII, will post the German pics soon, there is a mix of figure manufacturers here, Battlefield, Fantasin and others, they all mix pretty well.

Impressive amount of painting :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Thanks mate

Dan,
I am always impressed with your quantity and quality!
-
Wow, that's a big commission, was the customer looking for the entire Red Army in miniature? lol
-
Thanks Custosarmorum
Hi Tacticalpainter yeah, it’s only half of that commission to, I’ll post pics of the Germans when I can, I find nowadays that the majority of my commissions are large like this.
-
Lovely figures and great painting as usual, I saw them earlier on TMP too. Incidentally, can you still post there? Their new policy is that only paying advertisers can post on their forums: when asking specifically about the painting services forum I was told that "yes, since you are obviously a commercial enterprise since you paint for money, you should be a paying advertiser to post over here". I guess that forum is now mostly reserved to Fernando...
-
Not sure, no one has said anything.
-
Those look terrific. I like the colours and contrast. I have a platoon of 28mm Russians waiting for paint at the moment, so these are really inspirational.

Start slapping that paint on, you know you want to.

Wow, that's an impressive amount to take on. Superb result on the painting, looking forward to seeing how all the conversions turn out.

Hi guys
The German half to the Russian commission previously posted, painted for early Eastern front, used a lot of variation in field grey.

Very nice work :-* :-* :-*
Do you paint these on the stick about 20 at a time?
How long does it take you to paint this many?
-
4 days work, but I only paint around 6hrs a day nowadays, yes, I paint on those sticks.

Hi guys
Finally finished my Gebirgsjagers (just need to add some tufts and flock) a fun little project, that I think turned out great, still need some support elements, some guns and crews, and some jump off markers, but onto some 1/72 Napoleonic projects.

Great stuff, very nice finish to your project. It actually started me wondering about converting Perry DAK to Gebirgsjager, but it was just a much bigger job than I wanted to commit to.

Yeah, that’s why most same people just buy stock figs, it can be a long process, now that I have completed these I’m sure someone will release a set of figures that will make my work obsolete.

Well despite that though, these are really your own, and I'll add that they're a top looking force, so the effort paid off! :D

Hi guys
I bought a resin 3D printer a few months back, and have been putting it to good use on my 15mm 40K projects, but I really wanted to print some historical stuff, so did some test prints for my WWII early war French, with mixed results, all files were obtained of Thingyverse, theres a fair few free WWII files available, enough to make it worthwhile, more to supplement a collection than to be the source of a whole collection, I think all these files were scaled to 1/72nd, however I researched vehicle dimensions and made any adjustment just in case, (I don't think there was much adjusting needed) all printing errors are mine, need to adjust supports for some of the models the tanks turned out quite nice, the trucks are OK, but 1 wheel has a flat spot, and some of the cars aren't great, only happy with 1 I think, the 2 vans need re doing as well, figs are from Simons soldiers, and a Heller Somua and a pre made Char B1 for scale. I'll try and fix any errors with green stuff, if Im not happy with the results I'll use them as wrecks for scatter terrain, I have a fair few trucks, tanks and even guns, to test print yet, even have a couple of aircraft.
These resin printers are amazing I highly recommend getting one, mines a creality LD002R
heres a list of the vehicles in the pics
1x Peugeot DK5 Ambulance
1x Peugeot MNB 1939
3x AMR-35 tanks (this one was scaled down from 1/56)
2x Citroen traction 11B Berline
2x Citroen traction Berline leger
2x Renault AGR trucks

Looking Good :-* :-* :-*
Is that the wheels for the cars in the back of the truck or is that a separate truck load?
-
Excellent mate, if I was in Oz still I would buy some off you.
Where did you buy the STL for the French trucks they look great?
Cherrs
Matt

Hi guys
Yes, wheels are all in the truck, and no, these aren't for sale, these are my own collection, all files free of Thingyverse
Hi guys
Several people asked me on my last post, how much do these cost to print, well I got a 500g bottle of resin, it was $36 Australian, around $27.50 US, and this is what I printed, with enough resin left over for maybe 2 more vehicles, all 1/72, so about $1.71 per vehicle/gun, there is some extra cost in LCD and FEP replacement, it probably comes out to around $1.80-$1.90 per.
Pretty happy with how these turned out, a couple of small errors here and there, but nothing I can't fix with a bit of green stuff, in this test print we have the following
2x Berliet VUDB
2x Citroen traction 11B (re print to work out kinks)
2x Citroen legere (re print to work out kinks)
2x Citroen U23
2x Laffley S45
1x Command Panhard
1x Panhard
4x W15 Variants
1x Peugeot 301
1x 155mm Mk2
1x 75mm Frances

Looks great :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I will need to get my brother on to printing some more stuff for me
I do struggle to find stuff in the right scale in thingiverse, why does nobody make print models in 1/72 scale?
-
They don't need to be 1/72, you can print a file at any scale, you just need to re scale them in a slicer.

Hi guys
I had 2 discs replaced and fused in my neck last week, so I have some "light" hobby time on my hands while I recover, I received a new Iwata airbrush for Christmas which I had not had a chance to use, so I have had a day of airbrush work on my Stalingrad, Romanian and French WWII projects. Wow, I didn't think there would be much difference between my old sparmax and the new Iwata airbrushes, but I must say the Iwata is a much better tool.

Thankfully never fractured mine, injured my neck 3 or 4 times playing Army Rugby in the 90s, and developed osteoarthritis, but it hasn't been quite a week yet, and I already think theres going to be an improvement.

Hi guys
Did some more work on these over last couple of days, added chipping, blackened the wheels and barrels, base coated the tracks and added various filters, next up a gloss coat, decals and a pin wash, the CharB1 bis needs some other camo colours added.

Hi guys
Have gloss coated, added decals, pin washed, matt coated then added oil steaking, next up a dry brush, maybe another pin wash, and will start adding mud and dust. Have left the Char B1 out from this process, on the side I have started putting together my French force, I'll slide him into that project after this one is completed.

More work on my Stalingrad German/Russian/Romanian projects, have painted the details (they still need a highlight) then did an overall dry brushed. Next I will highlight the tools, canvas rolls/stowage, then a mud wash, then some pastels.

Any particular Romanian units? The units fighting to the south across the Don with 16th Panzer or on the northern flank with 21st Panzer?
Have you seen the Battlestorm Stalingrad series on YouTube ? It is fantastic for the campaign, he pulls together three or four books with a situation map.

2) added a light mud wash
3) added a darker mud wash
4) added straight mud paint
5) panted the crews in the Romanian vehicles

You are a machine! Great work fella, these are looking awesome!

These are great I am amazed by you output you manage whole armies in the time it take me to do one vehicle and yours are a lot better standard than my efforts.
Can you tell me where you source the decals for the 231 in particular, I am painting one at the moment and only have enough for one armoured car. I take yours are PSC as well as my one?

Hi guys
I have painted up some 20mm FAA Romanians, just need to flock the bases, these will supplement my plastic Romanians, converted from Hat WWI Germans and Hat Romanians, and I have made a start on construction of my next project, early war French, all the grey vehicles are 3D printed, tanks are a mixture of Trumpeter Char B1s, Heller S35s, and Matchbox Ft-17s, I have another 8 s-model tanks coming in the mail, a mix of S35s and 38Hs, and I have a bunch of Simon Soldiers French which will supplement my plastic French figures.

Hi guys
Basing finished on my Romanians, this force was built around a platoon + sized force for Chain of Command, and I will now expand it to a Battalion + sized force for O group, a question, in the first pic, the figures on the left are metal FAA and those on the right are Hat plastic Romanians and converted WWI Germans to Romanians, which to you think are better? I'm leaning towards the plastic Hat figures, I have more of those I can add to the force, for more figures I'm thinking of either Shellhole scenics Romanians in greatcoats, or Strelets Romanians who are also dressed for winter, I have 2 more 38ts in the stash but will need more armour and guns from Shellhole scenics to fill the ranks.

Looking great :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I sometime think plastic figures are better detailed than some metal figures and the weapons on plastic are more realistic size and not as chunky as metal
But I am afraid it is a personal prefrence thing usewhat you like the best.

Hi guys
I'm half way through these German infantry for my Stalingrad project, have done the base coat and an oil wash, will do highlights next.
I have also started a terrain tile project, I bought this green teddy bear fur 6 years ago, and have used it as a gaming mat with scatter terrain laid over the top, but I wanted to give a tile terrain system a go, using cork floor tiles for a base, then foam to give depth, and the fur over the top which I will shape, I have a sand coloured fur on order for variety.

I noticed that you have printed a lot of vehicles and have a resin printer.
I am quite interested in printing and just bought some Vietnam War AFV files on Kickstarter.
Which printer model do you have and is it easy to use?

Hi mate
I have a creality Ld002R, it comes with a pre levelled printing plate, it’s very easy to use, but there is a learning curve, you need a slicing software like chitubox and when you slice your files you need to be aware of where you place your supports and what angle you have your objects leaning, also you will need to hollow out vehicles and put in drain holes, watch a few videos before you use the printer.

Hi guys
Done some more work on my teddy bear terrain tiles, it will be a general purpose board for all eras and genres, designed to fit 15mm-28mm, have shaved the dirt roads out with clippers, reduced the tyre ruts down with a long necked bbq lighter, I'll glue sand into the tyre ruts and paint brown, the long brown/white stripe on the right will be a river, I plan on filling it with clear resin after detailing the river bed, and will be shaping the grass in differant areas, and colouring it various greens/yellows/browns, I need to make more tiles with a single end to end road, have done enough t/y/x intersection, and will do more farming and plain fields, as well as some scatter hills and other terrain, plan on train tracks, houses to suit Russian, Normandy and some fantasy/Medieval buildings and a bridge accross the river as well as some shallow river crossings.

Hi guys
I received 3 packs of S-model tanks for my French force today, so will resume prepping that force for painting.
I done some more painting on my Stalingrad German infantry, still a fair bit to do on them.
Have added gravel to my roads on the teddy bear terrain, will paint them with a very dark brown with some white glue added to bind the gravel together a bit more, then dry brush mud brown.

I like the addition of the bricks to your bases, I may pinch that idea.
Keep it up.

I want enough that I can do a 6x4 foot table with any terrain option, rivers, roads, fields etc, so, maybe 24 1x1 foot tiles.

Hi guys
Have done some more work on my terrain tiles, (have laid it out without really trying to make a coherent map, just for these pics) painted the road dark brown, and gave them a very light dry brush, this makes them look muddy, not sure if I want this terrain to be lush and muddy, or dry and dusty if I choose dry and dusty I will need to add more yellow to the grass and heavily dry brush the roads, as this is a generic terrain for all genres (but I am working on my WWII Russian projects currently) should I keep it lush or go dry? I've also got a piece of sandy coloured fur coming, enough for another 6 tiles, which will need a heavy green painting to mix in with this terrain, with those 6 tiles I'll do 3 with single end to end roads, and 3 plain fields/crop fields.
My next job is to seal the river sections with masking tape, then cover with grit and paint, I will be filling these with clear resin, so the masking tape will stop the resin leaking out between the cork and foam.

Hi guys
I was going to call these done, but I think I need to do some more work on the faces, but for all intense and purposes, they are done, will be doubling or tripling this infantry force, for now I'm moving on to my French Project for a bit.
Most of these are AB's, with some TQD, CP, Battlefield and Italeri, I replaced all MG42s with MG34s.

Hi guys
More work on the teddy bear terrain tiles with 4 new tiles from a sandy coloured fur I received recently, I could have heavily painted them green to match the other tiles, but thought I would let the sand colour show to provide some difference, each square is 1 foot/30cm, the tank is a 1/72 Sherman for scale, I have been working on the scatter terrain, starting with some train tracks, need to paint the ballast on these, and get some bends to add to the set.
I also added a pic of my recent kit purchases, lots of Russian summer and winter infantry, and some vehicles for my Barbarossa/Stalingrad projects and a Panther D for Kursk, and some figures for my BEF project.
And lastly a pic of my current builds, I like to spray paint in batches, so will build double this amount then break out the airbrush.

On the train track, have a look at how Kato (small train company) does their set track, as they have interlocking mechanisms that make for a perfect join but they open and close with ease. Just a suggestion as otherwise you get that broken track look going.

Thanks mate, I haven’t really tried to attach them, they are just laid down for the pic, I’ll try and work something out to join them.

Hi guys
I have expanded my 1/72 early French force with a few tanks, and have gotten them all to a basic standard, and now I'll start detailing and adding stowage etc, starting with a Laffly S15 and V15 Artillery tractors, these are wargaming models not display models, so I am just getting them to a decent standard.
I have added some detail to the bonnet, a seem down the middle and a radiator cap, the detail in the back of the printed models crew compartment was very shallow and didn't match my example pic, also the rear of the vehicle looked to short, so I raised the whole thing by a couple of mm and re configured the bins, added a folded down roof and rolled canvas doors.
If it were a display model Id do something about the tyre tred, but I'll leave that, not sure if I should replace the window frame, I'll be adding a couple of tools to the rear panel, some stowage, then a couple of crew, and after painting I'll add clear windows, then onto the V15.

Is this a 3D model you have bought, or printed?
I’m quite intrigued by you adding to the model using classic scratch building techniques (plastic card and green stuff) rather than changing the STL file, and reprinting the model.
-
I printed it, but I don't yet have the skills to change files yet, my skills are old school plasticard and greenstuff based.
-
Fair enough, those techniques are serving you well!

Hi guys
Have done some more work to these 2, detailed the bed on the V15 (four wheeled one) fitted the crew, added steering columns to the drivers steering wheel, added pioneer tools to the rear, added a notek light, all I've got left to do is make a base for them, fill in some seems and sand, and add a tow bar, then onto a couple more of the vehicle from the set.

Gunner Dunbar, super work. A mate of mine printed me a few French vehicles including some Laffly troop carriers. I don't have the skill/patience to "super-detail" them, i just gave them a basis paint job. I look forward to seeing them painted.

Very nice indeed. I bought a couple of Laffly prints a couple of years for my 21st Panzer and to say they were a disappointment is an understatement. Those resin prints look decent and the extra work you've put into them has really paid off.

Thanks, yes resin is the way to go, but they are still only as accurate as the 3D sculptor.
Hi guys
Have started detailing the Laffly S45 recovery vehicle, I wanted to replace the thick bed walls, but whilst these models are pretty solid and sturdy, the resin is prone to shatter, and I'm worried I'll damage the truck if I try to cut them out, so I'm going to get creative with my painting to make them less noticeable, also there is a fault in the vehicle deign, the creator has made the bed floor 1 even shallow level, it should have a bench seat down either side and a foot well down the middle, so I have partitioned the foot well off with 2 plastic strips, cut a 44 gallon drum in half and positioned them in the foot well area to look like there is depth. I've also scratch built a crane, replaced the ugly windscreen with a folded down one, and added some crew, I considered doing some work on the spade at the back, but might leave it due to time, these are wargaming standard after all, not display.
The S15 got a new windscreen frame from the spares box, and the v15 got a fold down windscreen, the thick crappy windscreens are a weak point with these prints.

Hi guys
Next up on the mat is a 1/72 Renault AGR, this STL file printed out a little wonky, with some funny indents on the right hand door, there's no door detail, so I will engrave them in, add door handles, window wipers, rear view mirrors, stowage in the bed, and the grill is designed smooth, so adding a radiator grate, the miss shaped wheels are a print error, I'll be rounding them out with some putty.
I have finished the Laffly S45 with a folded down drivers cab tilt.

Nice work. Like you, I'm just starting off with printing, and I play in 28mm, while most available files are in 15mm, and don't upscale all that well.
I wish I could magically learn some CAD skills...

Yeah, it would be a good skill, unfortunately I'm a bit old school.
Hi guys
Finished with the Renault AGR, scribed the door frame, added a seam under the window, widow wipers, door handle, and stowage, and filled out the miss printed wheels, a bit rough, but its a wargaming model.
Started on the Laffly S15 TCC, added seam down the bonnet, radiator cap, and gun barrel, the gun shield was very short, so added some length to it, will be detailing the gun breech area and adding crew next.

Excellent, following these with interest.

Yep, likewise. The old school abilities with plastic card and green stuff turning the prints into very good little models, gaming or otherwise.
A 15mm Laffly S35 T would be a handy addition, but I don't believe anyone's got round to one yet.

No, haven’t come across an S35t unfortunately, only the S45, I have been thinking about converting some S45s to S35ts though.

Hi guys
1/72 Laffly S15 TCC finished, added some detail to the breach and some Hat crew figures.
Next I was going to start on the printed 1897 75mm gun, but comparing it to the Hat offering I have decided to go with the later, the Hat model is soft plastic, but the gun shield is much better detailed, and you get the later wheels (enough for 2 guns) in the Hat artillery set, whilst the printed version has better details on things like the elevation and baring wheels, Ive made up the guns and will look to see if I need to add any extra details to them, I may take the elevation/baring wheels of the resin model and add them to the Hat one.

You could keep the printed one for Infantry formations, they tended to have the older wheeled versions as their guns where still often horse drawn.
I think there was another version of wheels, which where solid (not spoked) with rubber tyres.

You could keep the printed one for Infantry formations, they tended to have the older wheeled versions as their guns where still often horse drawn.

That's the version Warlord Games do in 28mm, I have an undercoated one beside me at my desk.
-
Glad it is a version - I was thinking of the 10mm ones I have, but didn’t have chance to dig them out to check earlier!
-
Thanks guys, I’ve found out first to fight do an excellent 1/72 version with wheel options, will be checking them out.

Hi guys
28mm WWII G.Is finished on commission, a mix of manufacturers.

Very Nice! Looking at GIs myself. What are the manufacturers of the bottom picture bottom right pair please?
-
Very nice. May I ask what colour you used for the equipment? It looks spot on to me, and I have a bunch of GIs to paint.

Are you talking about the webbing? Vallejo Khaki

Thanks for that. Packs etc look just right.

If you are interested in BTD GIs I believe Colonel Bills has a bunch in stock.

Well painted.
I really like the BT Americans.
I picked my guys up from before Black Tree became Black Tree.

Great rendition of GIs. I think the colors are spot on!
I like the BT fellas too. One of my wargaming buddies gave me several of them. Been fitting them into my units as appropriate/needed/wanted.

Yeah BT are alright, nice to paint, I collect 1/72-20mm but if I were to start 28mm I’d go with Empress though, I’m a Paul Hicks fan.

Yup...I’m leaning towards Empress too. These aren’t half bad though.

I've got some of the empress US boys already painted up. Gotta paint up another squad of them sometime.
Got an Empress British platoon waiting in the wings, as well.
And I never got into 20mm WW2. 20mm AWI, War of 1812, Vietnam, and neo-modern, yes. But for some reason, not WW2.

I know. They are great figs. But as my glasses get stronger, the figs I paint get bigger.;)
Started in 15mm. Then 20mm. Now it's 28mm...

Hi guys
I recently received a birthday present of 3 x 1/72 modell trans modellbau Renault D-2 kits, from a long time customer and friend, which has given me the incentive to restart this stalled project, here’s some pics of where I’m at, have to dust of the infantry and construct the D-2s, finish some conversion work on my 3D printed vehicles, then break out the air gun.

Hi guys
A mate of mine was struggling with this kit, so I gave it a go for him, was certainly a tricky little build, for anyone wanting to build this kit, I’d suggest doing some research first, there are several parts and areas that need a bit of work to fit, but with a little work it’s turned into a nice little model, this model will be Rommels 7th Pz Div ride for a wargaming force and will end up panzer grey, so just going with a basic build, no extra details.

Thanks Fenton
Hi guys
Have constructed 5 modell trans modellbau D2 tanks, 3 late and 2 early, for my 1940 French, these have lovely details, there was some breakage, of some guns and fenders, however each kit has the option of either an early or late turret, so I had spare weapons, and I saved most of the broken fenders by just gluing them back on.
There maybe an accuracy issue with the kit, you are provide 6 return rollers per kit, however every reference pic I have looked at shows 4 return rollers each side, so 8 all up, but this should be a fairly easy fix, I’ve added some pics with a Trumpeter Char B1, and Heller S35 (tan) and S-models S35 (green) to show all the tanks I have with the same turret, the trumpeter Char B1 and modell Trans turrets are very close in detail, the Heller turret is the worst of the lot, with some shape issues, but close enough for government work, I’m really happy with these.

Hi guys
As I’ve returned to 1/72 WWII, I’ve realised I have a LOT of shelf queens, I usual complete vehicles in batches, the problem is if I get distracted I can end up with lots of half finished kits, so I have decided to start finishing some shelf queens one kit at a time, I’ve randomly chosen to start with an Sd.Kfz. 7/1, it’s the common Hasagawa kit, I’ve replaced the barrels with brass, as I made this kit 6-7 years ago, I can’t remember what barrels I used, but I bought them at least 15 years ago, I also replaced the moulded plastic mesh sides with a suitable mesh material, not sure what happened to the steering wheel, I’ll have to find a replacement, figs are AB.
Painted with an airbrush, probably with Humbrols, this vehicle will go to my KG Danl project.

Very nice. That's going to look cracking with crew added, and the replacement barrels make a huge difference.
-
Yeah, the thick kit barrels really make the original kit very ugly, and in my opinion unusable, I wouldn’t make another without another replacement.

Hi guys
A bit of work done on the 1/72 Hasagawa Sd.Kfz 7/1, oil pin wash, and some chipping added, and figures started.

Really impressive, now I want one in 28mm.. :) The real challenge I have found in the past in 28 is getting crew that look the right scale compared to the vehicle and yet aren't so small they look ridiculous next to 'standard' 28mm infantry.

Do you use 1/48 or 1/56 vehicles?
-
1/56. If I was starting again, I would use 1/48th or 1/50th, but I started with the various plastic kits, and when I started 3d printing, made sense to continue in that scale. It also makes a surprising amount of difference when playing Tetris to fit vehicles into 4ltr Really Useful Boxes.

Are there many 1/50 scale kits? There seems to be a pretty decent 1/48 range, pity they didn’t stick to one scale, guess it’s the same as 1/72 and 1/76.
Hi guys
Not quite finished the 1/72 Sd.Kfz 7/1, need to find a steering wheel, plenty in my spares box, do some weathering, maybe add some stowage, and I might try and find another ammo handling figure in my stash, then finish of the base.
The next randomly picked shelf queen will be this Italeri Pz III J quickbuild, as these are wargaming models, not display, I don’t mind using quickbuilds.

Hi guys
Some work done on the 1/72 Italeri Pz IIIJ quick build, gave it a khaki filter, painted some details, clear coat, added decals, then an oil pin wash, will do some chipping, drybrushing, then weathering.
Have picked 2 smaller models for the next shelf queen challenge, an S-model Sd.Kfz 253 that I converted to a 250/9 by adding an Airfix 222 turret, didn’t have a grenade screen, these are wargaming models, so I didn’t bother to scratch build one, the other is the ICM Sd.Kfz 223, these will go into my aufklärungsabteilung unit for KG Danl

Absolutely cracking stuff. One of the reasons I switched to 28mm was the difficulty of sourcing decent 20mm figures. No such limitations when you can convert to that standard.

Hi mate
Yes, they’ll be panzer grey, my favourite period is 1940-the end of Stalingrad, so good for any of that period, I’ll end up doing another for 1943+ I guess.
Absolutely cracking stuff. One of the reasons I switched to 28mm was the difficulty of sourcing decent 20mm figures. No such limitations when you can convert to that standard.
Thanks mate, yes, having the skill to convert is very handy, I’ve converted a LOT of figures over the years, my only real limitation is time.
-
Thanks for sharing your work, I am really enjoying seeing what you do to improve and alter your models. I recently bought a printer and have a 28mm French army already but just the other day I printed some 20mm figures out and they look far better then their larger brothers. Your post is convincing me to try a few more models and is very timely. Loving your blog as well.

Your post is convincing me to try a few more models and is very timely. Loving your blog as well.
Thanks mate, would like to see what you get done.

Hi guys
These guys are almost ready to undercoat, I’ll add some gas mask canisters to their chests, and some small arms where missing, then mount them and undercoat.

Hi guys
I’ve added gasmask containers and weapons, and mounted them, then undercoated and given the bikes a few coats of panzer grey, happy with how they are turning out so far.

Hi guys
As my Heer motorcycle recon platoon is well underway to being painted, I’m looking at my next project, a cavalry recon unit, using a variety of parts, legs are from Italeri Gaul cav, green bodies are Armourfast German tank riders, there’s a couple of italeri motorcycle riders, a Prieser and Caesar body, and 1 Revell artillery set rider, horses are from Revells artillery set, Italeri Gauls, and British hussars.
At this stage of the process, I’m just looking for poses that look natural, details aren’t so important as I’ll be doing a fair bit of green stuff work, I’ll be changing most of the heads and some weapons and adding detail to the horses.

Wow, that is really looking cool!

Very cool - and very good imagination/ vision from you to be able to see the Gaul and other kits as usable as the base for WWII Germans.
I’m kind of surprised with WWII being such a major thing in 20mm that there aren’t some existing options available.

There is the Caesar and Waterloo 1815 sets, but they are getting hard to find, and to be honest, for me personally, I’d end up converting them to my own tastes anyway, so may as well go from scratch, the good thing about modelling putty’s, is you can turn any periods figure into another period, I’ve even turned wwii Brits into Napoleonic Wurtembergers, the 2 on the left are from the Italeri wwii British set.

You clearly have the skills to make the conversions look good, so more power to you to get the look you want!
Me, I can just about fill gaps with putty!

It’s just practice, have you given in a go? Just do small areas, and push the putty into the shape you want, put aside, let dry and repeat, it’s more time consuming than anything.

Hi guys
These are about 60% done, starting to look the part now they have some colour, will start working on the dismounted troops and support elements soon.

Hi guys
After completing my own bike combos platoon, I am now doing a set on commission. I received a few comments on how some people wish they could sculpt with green stuff to achieve the same troops, so I have decided to take a different route with this lot, to give inspiration/ideas to those that have limited green stuff skills, for this lot I’ll try and use as much detail of existing figures, I’ll still need to use some green stuff, but will try and keep it limited, I’m using the same Italeri bike set x 4, the sidecar seated infantry will be ABs German seated infantry in greatcoats (link below), I’ve done some minor surgery to get them to fit, next I’ll give them head swaps to helmets, the only GS I’ll use on these figs is the raincoat flap across the back shoulders, I’m going to rummage through my plastic figures for greatcoated torsos to convert the riders.

Hi guys
Did some more work on these 3 shelf queens, keep getting busy, but don’t want them to reclaim the shelf queen crown, the 7/1 just needs a little pastel chalk weathering and some flock on the base and I’ll call her done, the other 223 and 250/9 need bases, crew and some more weathering still.

Hi guys
I have very fond memories as a young child in the late 70s, staying over at my grandparents, they would let me watch my favourite TV show each night before bedtime, Hogans Hero’s, I haven’t watched the show since the 80s I’d think, but I remember Col Klink was always worried about being sent to the Easter front, and I have had a project buzzing around in the back of my mind for many years now of building a Luftwaffe field division army led by the hapless Col Klink and Sgt Schultz after 1 to many of Hogans hair brained schemes gets them in trouble and their fears are realised with a transfer to the Eastern front, but I had never found the right figures for the pare.
Recently I was perusing Simons Soldier for Germans to convert to WWII Hungarians, (great figures and service, no ties to Simons Soldier, just a very happy customer) I find the sculpting style to be very good for this particular conversion, and I can across Simons Volkssturm HQ pack, and spied a heavy set figure in a greatcoat, which would be a perfect start for a Sgt Schultz conversion, I’d need to give him a tunic and helmet, now to find a suitable Col Klink, a skinny officer, any ideas? I haven’t really checked my stash, but I will soon.

Great idea for a project. You must let us know how they fight, if you ever have time to put them on the table between all the conversions and painting?.

Hi guys
I’ve got a few 1/72 WWII projects going at the moment, so why not add another? I have a Special Armour Steyr 1500 Ambulance that I want to add to one of AB miniatures casualty sets, to make it work I want to model the back open, I didn’t have any reference pics for the rear of this vehicle, so asked around and a couple of guys from the Braille scale modelling forum came through for me, so here she is so far. My only decision now is does it go with my KG Danl or Luftwaffe Field Division projects? I’m leaning towards the LW.

Hi guys
Here’s my attempt to give those who lack green stuff sculpting skills some ideas to do their own MC crews using parts of plastic figures.
First you will need the required amount of Italeri MC bikes, in this case 7 combos, each pack has 2, so 4 packs. Then you’ll need the required number of greatcoated donors, in this case 21 crew, however I am using ABs seated greatcoat troops for all the sidecar passengers, you could also convert plastic figures for this, so I need 14 plastic greatcoated torso, I scrounged my plastic stash and found the required Russian and German figures, these came from Italeri winter Germans, Winter Russians, and Pegasus Russians in greatcoats, it doesn’t matter the nationality as long as they are in a double breasted greatcoat.
Next I cut the figures into parts, heads, torsos, and the riders legs, and equipment, I have left the arms in place where possible, to give me the most options, as I build the figures I can remove any excess arms, metal figures could also be used for converting these riders, however plastic is much easier to carve, I will keep the greatcoat lower bodies, you never know when you’ll need some greatcoated legs.
The next stage is constructing the figures, I use a pin vice drill, paperclip wire and superglue to attach the parts, that’s it for part 1.

Hi guys
A friend was struggling to build his Ace Kfz 15, so I helped him out, which has now turned into me building a group of vehicles for him, 3 x Kfz 15s, a Kfz 2, a Kfz 17, and 2 Pz I Sig33Bs, getting a good trade for it though, I’ll also build some kits for myself to paint in the batch, these will be for France 1940, Ace kits need a bit of research and work, there was a bit of flash to be cleaned up and you need to be careful with the placement of some parts, the front axle comes to mind, if placed in the area designed for it the wheels will be slightly to far forward, moving the about a mil to the rear fixes the problem, but with work they can produce nice vehicles and they are the only 1/72 Kfz 15 available in plastic kit form, I’m actually quite fond of them. Also converting a couple of S-Model Pz Is into Pz I Sig33Bs, I tried 3D printing the upper fighting compartment, but only using the side walls, using a couple of S-Model Sig33s fir the guns.

Depending on the level of detail you want, there are Pz1 Sigs available on Thingiverse in 1/100 that should scale up to 1/72 ok.

Yeah, I have printed a couple, here’s one in a pic with these 2 I’m making, the one at the back.

WOW! I'm really impressed! Lovely conversion work!

Hi guys
I’m trying to make these troops with as little green stuff as I can for those who struggle with GS, however, it is inevitable that I will have to use some GS, the steps I have taken here are
1) added helmeted heads, cut from plastic figures, drilled a hole in the neck of both the head and body and glued a length of paper lip into the head with superglue, then glued into the body.
2) added the lower area of the rubberised greatcoat, it could be fastened around the legs like a jumpsuit, for making riding easier.
3) Added wire, then green stuff to some arms, if the arm is close to the body I just use GS without a wire.
4) added the raincoat flap across the back of the shoulders with GS.
5) added the leather strap for goggles around the helmet with thinly cut paper and superglue.
6) to the sidecar passengers I have added the rear raincoat flap and extended any missing legs that I cut of to make the figures fit in the sidecar.
At this stage you could continue with adding arms, and gear, then calling them done, I will however go on to bulk out the chest and collar with GS, because that is how I personally prefer the figs.
Using Green stuff - it’s other name is kneadatite, or blue/yellow 2 part epoxy resin putty, it comes in either a ribbon with the blue and yellow putty joined in the middle, or as 2 rolls 1 blue 1 yellow, I prefer the 2 rolls, as the ribbon sometimes hardened in the middle where the 2 colours join, between jobs keep the putty in a zip lock bag in your fridge, if it’s left out to long the yellow putty can develop a skin that is a pain because it causes lumps in your putty, when mixing I use 60% yellow and 40% blue, the reason is the more blue you add, the more stiff, and less sticky the putty is, it also hardens quicker, I like it to be very sticky at the start, and want a long working time.
I make a small ball of putty and stick it to my left thumbnail, this is my pallet, I then use a hobby knife with an old blunt blade (must have it’s pointy tip though) and I cut the amount of putty I need from the ball, I work on half a dozen figs at a time, and place a small amount of putty on the area of each figure where I’ll be working, I very quickly push the putty around to basically cover the area I’ll work, then move to the next figure, by the time I have used all the putty ball (I very really have wastage), I return to the first figure, the time it has been sitting has allowed the putty to adhere to the figure well, I use the hobby blade to push the putty around the area I’m working until it is the basic shape I want, to stop the putty from sticking to the blade I will often lick the blade to add moisture, you could also have a little cup of water to dip the blade in, I then use a wet finger to run over the area and smooth it out of finger prints etc, or a wet blade for areas to small for my fingers, I then either use the sharp end of the blade or a pin to add creases and wrinkles on the inside of the knees and elbows. At this stage the professionals use oil and brushes to smooth out the putty, I do not do this however, as it adds the step of thoroughly cleaning everything before commencing with the next area on the fig, an alternative is to use a brush and water, once you finish that area on those half dozen figs I move to the next batch of figures, and so on, buy the time I get back to the first batch, around 40min, the putty has dried enough to handle, I then start a new area on that first batch, I continue this until finished or I need to stop, the size of the are I’ll work on each time is usually a limb, or the front or back of the torso.

Great looking conversions, I also really like the little details of the ambulance car.
But please never lick green stuff, these materials are toxic (prone to reaction, thats how the components allow to be mixed in the first place). I always use a small cup of water.

great work as always, and the time u took to explain each step fantastic

Hi guys
Those that know me will know that I like to paint vehicles in batches, this will be the next group to cause me to break out my airbrush, the bikes are for one friend, the middle row and crewed car at the front is for another, and the 3D printed Pz I Sig33, Kfz 15 (without crew) and yet to be built Jagdpanzer I and Kfz 17 will be for my collection, these will all be finished in various shades of panzer grey, it’s been a bit of an Ace-athon, but the finish line is in sight.

Hi guys
I have seen a lot of FB posts with painters showing their completed miniatures of 2022, so I start wondering how many miniatures I painted in 2022, here is 1 picture from each batch of figures completed in 2022 that I could find, most are commissions, the unpainted batch of vehicles isn’t painted, but was built in 22, and will be painted over my 3 weeks holidays, there are 41 pics all up on my blog, a mix of scale, genres and eras.

Hi guys
After posting my painted figs for 2022, I realise I have a LOT of work I haven’t shown, here is a batch I did on commission earlier this year, 20mm-1/72 British 1940 BEF.

Hi guys
Finishing building an Ace Kfz 15 and AB crew as a HQ element for my MC recon unit, and an Italeri Panzerjagd 1 for my Barbarossa to Stalingrad project, just got to scrounge together a crew for it, both will be added to my next batch for airbrushing, hoping to get them sprayed next week.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Hi guys
Spray painted my latest batch of vehicles, it’s a mix of 2 friends and my own vehicles, the MC combos, all the crewed cars on the left, and the 2 converted Pz I Sig33B (with seperate guns) are all for my friends, the empty Sdkfz 15 will go to my MC recon unit as a HQ element (with the unpainted crew mounted on the painting stick) the ambo will go to my Luftwaffe field division, the 3D printed Pz I Sig33Bs and JagdPz I will go to my French/Barbarossa projects.
One of the 3D printed SPs is a failed print, painting it up as an exploded vehicle, good use for failed prints, don’t throw anything out.

Hi guys
Last print of 2022 on the black tray with my old LD002R, and the first print of 2023 on the paper towel with my new Halot one plus, the LD002R was on its last legs, probably could be serviced, all these WWII French vehicles failed in some way, bad print lines, tearing and lifting of the print bed, wasn’t sure if it was the machine, the thumb drive or user error but I was having a hell of a time with it, so was looking forward to a test print on the new printer, didn’t do anything different, had 3 successful prints and 1 fail, the failed print peeled of the print bed, looks like a tank ran it over, being brand new the print bed was very smooth, have scratched it up a bit, so hopefully it’ll get good adherence from now on, as it turns out, I’d messed up the scaling for these Laffly S20 vehicles on the LD002R print, they are slightly to small, maybe 1/76 instead of 1/72, so not to worried they didn’t work, I’ll make them into battlefield debris, some small issues with the new prints, but all due to support placement, but they are usable.

Have done a black oil pin wash, a dry brush, chipping, oil streaking, and a brown oil pin wash, next I’ll paint some details, then some weathering with pastels.

Hi guys
Anyone who knows me, knows I tend to often move between genres and scales, however, it is hard to get things completed with so many projects on the go, so through 2023 I have decided to stick to 1/72 WWII, and will try and complete 4 projects, my 1940 French, Hungarians, Luftwaffe field Division, and the 21st Pz Div, with maybe a couple of smaller projects, Soviet naval infantry and assault engineers.
With that in mind I am gathering together the various models and figures I have for these projects, the first 2 being the French and Hungarians.
The French have been a bit of a slow burner, I am getting quite a large collect, mostly 3D prints, which I’ll be adding detail to, I have a mix of Simons soldiers metals, and various plastics for the figures.
For the Hungarians I’ll be using Simons soldiers Germans, I like them a lot as Hungarians, I have a mix of IBG kits and 3D prints for the vehicles, I have hollowed out all the vehicle, and I have punched holes in some of the turret hatches so I can mount vehicle commanders in the turrets.

Good luck with those!
I will be extra curious for your Hungarian project. Early war Germans are a good base, I did a lot of conversions in 1/35, the highlights were
-Hungarian uniform had those special pocket flaps
-Hungarian belt buckle was a simple frame solution- I guess you can let it go in smaller scales.
-Hungarian army wore short, laced boots. (I think long trousered Afrika Korps are maybe the best base material) But some soldiers got sapper boots for themselves, so it is not a big deal to leave them in German boots.
-the knapsack was similar, but the canteen, gas mask package and mess tin was different
-smaller details like the rank badges on the collar or the fastening hook on the back of the helmet only matter in bigger scales

I think most detail at 20mm will be difficult to see, I may shorten the gasmask container, may try and do something with the pockets, lengthening the trousers isn’t an issue. We’ll see how I go, of all the projects I’m doing this year, it’s actually the most interesting for me.

The gas mask container you could simply just remove or make into a bedroll. It was rarely carried, especially in 44-45.

Aiming for lead up to and over the Stalingrad period, but maybe I’ll look at 44-45 as well.

Looking forward to the 1940 French Army build. Its always something I wanted to tackle, so I hope to take some inspiratiuon from your thread.

Hi guys
Gathering together the vehicles for another 2023 project, the 21st Pz Div, a project that’s been simmering in the back of my mind for many years, just an excuse to paint and collect those French funnies, also starting the conversions on my Luftwaffe field division infantry, I'm using a mixture of Heer and Fallschirmjagers figures with head swaps to the M40 helmet, next I’ll give them Luftwaffe camouflaged field jackets.

Yes, printer goes brrrrrrrr

Yep, 21st Panzer project. I'll be watching with interest. There're couple of prints there that I haven't seen as models, if that makes sense.
Just sourcing more mortar crew for my 15mm project.
-
Yeah, the printer is handy for those subjects not covered by model kits, the Char SP isn’t part of the 21st project, I just like the vehicle and there’s no plastic kit for it, and felt it most appropriate to stick him in with this lot, he really doesn’t have a home poor fella.

Yes, printer goes brrrrrrrr

Hi guys
Have printed up some equipment that will be distributed across all my 2023 projects, some AT guns, plenty of those needed, field kitchens and wagons, some schwimmwagens and Trippel SG6s (I haven’t seen those in 1/72 before anyone know of any others?) both of those models are very nice for free thingyverse files. Also printed up some weapons and heads for conversion purposes, jerry cans and fuel drums for stowage, a mixed bag really.
The Brit vehicles and AB41s are for a friend, the spare wheel on the AB41 was bald and had very little detail, so I punched it out and printed up a couple of extra wheels that I will mount in the spare wheel well, turned out OK, also hollowed the turret and punched the commanders hatch out so a commander can be added.
So what’s next for the printer, I’ve been wanting a 1/72 train for terrain, so exploring that idea.

Hi guys
Started adding some crews to the SPS, Trippels, and Schwimmwagons the SPS will obviously go to my 21st Pz Div, all the amphibious cars however will get either Heer or SS crews, but will remain generic, so as to be able to be used anywhere appropriately, next I’ll add some stowage, but won’t go overboard with it. I’ll be adding one of the schwimmwagens to my set of Schwimmwagen themed Coc patrol markers to finish that group as well.

Hi guys
Have added some crews to the 3D printed guns, they will be spread across multiple projects, 1x Pak40 to winter Germans, 1x Pak40 to KG Danl, 2x Pak36 to Hungarians, 2x Pak38 and 2x Pak97/38 to Luftwaffe field Div, I still have 2x Pak50s to add crews to, will be detailing the bases next.

A little embarrassed to say I’m really a painter and collector, I had an old army mate, who introduced me to wargaming at the army wargaming club back in the 90s who I would get games of CoC with, but I moved interstate, and there’s no historical wargaming clubs in my area, a few games workshop type clubs, but I like my sci-fi in 15mm.

Hi guys
This commission is done, really 2 commissions, the MC recon bikes and dismounts at the front, and the cars and figs at the back, are 2 commissions, the 3x3D printed Sig33s, Jagdpanzer I, Kfz 15 on the undecorated base and ambo are all my own, I did these 2 commissions a little differently because they were build (Ace kits) and conversion heavy I took my time over several months, so they were a slow burn, but they are done now, freeing up more time for my personal projects.
Heaps more pics here

Hi guys
I’m eternally grateful to those such as Bergmann (who created and suppled for free the Csaba files on thingyverse) and Aidan https://www.thingiverse.com/krankenpz/designs who supplied some of the Pak STLs also for free, many of the designers create these vehicles to be printed and handled on the wargaming table at 1/100-15mm, so they often have thick sturdy details, especially when resized to 1/72 or bigger, sometimes the display modeller in me urges me to update the model (the old fashioned way) to a more scale appropriate thickness, without letting my inner rivet counter raise its ugly head, with that in mind, I have changed the barrel and grab rail, and hollowed the turret and punched out the commanders hatch to allow for a commander on the Hungarian Csaba Armoured car, don’t intend on doing any other changes.
Have added some details to the Pak crews and their bases, using my precious, hard to obtain Preiser detail sprue (wish you could still buy the 1/72 Preiser military sets)
I also had some requests for closer pics of some vehicles from my last post, to show more details, so here they are.

The work you did on those armoured cars really pays off. I have the same print by Bergman in 1/56th scale, and I might copy your approach and make the aerial from gardening wire and change the barrel some.
Activated my inner rivet counter! lol

Well worth the effort, just be careful to score the mounts below the antenna well, resin can be brittle, you don’t want to shatter the mount, then I cut little troughs in the mounts running in the direction of the wire to give it something to sit in, use the cut away antenna as a guide to bend the wire into the right shape, good luck.

Thank you for this advice! Will try to follow it.

Good work on the Csabas! I have one in 1/35, some modelers here argue about even the correct tire pattern too (Hungarian Cordatic tires were kinda special), my advice is not to overthink it :)

Yeah, I think they are ready for paint apart from crews.

Hi guys
Started the painting process for this batch of vehicles, the dark yellow vehicles are for German use, the green for Hungarian, I’ve used several different Humbrols for the dark yellow, no. 83, 94, and 225, the Hungarians got a coat of a mix of 149 and 101, it’s a bit darker than I want at the moment, but I’ll be lightening it a little later, it’s very hot here in Queensland Australia, and my airbrush kept clogging, so gave up on doing the camo, I’m not great with an airbrush, and find applying camo a chore, but I have several other options for adding camo, brush painting, pastel pencils or chalk, will go away and think on how I want to proceed. The Hungarians will be getting red brown and light ochre camo added, the Germans will have a mix of red brown and green camo in various patterns.

I used to have shocking problems with airbrushing. I switched to using Tamiya acrylics with their special thinner mixed roughly 50/50 in little plastic dropper bottles, and pretty much never had it clog again.

I’ve been thinking of going back to Tamiya, I’ve got a few in my collection, wouldn’t be hard to switch over, it was very hot today though.

I used to have no problems in a Canberra summer. Qld humidity? I don't know.

I’ve got the moisture trap in the compressor and a second attached to the brush, so don’t really get any water spitting through. I did have issues before I got the second one.

Just had the single one at the brush, but Canberra is very dry compared to Qld. Seriously, give the Tamiya a go. I'd be surprised if they weren't significantly better.

Hi guys
These are not finished, I still need to paint some details on the stretcher team, some insignia on the medics and casualties, I also need to make crew for the Pz I ATG and SPG.
The 2 Pz I variants and MC recon troops will go to my France to Stalingrad early/mid war Germans.
The eagle eyed would notice the Ambo is a Luftwaffe vehicle, hence the field blue uniforms, this vehicle is going to go to my Luftwaffe field division force, I’ve also made the SS stretcher team which will go to my KG Danl force, I actually have a few other ambulances to make, every force I’m doing will end up with and ambo and casualty set.
The MC recon force will end up with dismounted troops, and some supporting elements, HMG and mortar teams.

Hi guys
Started working on my Hungarian vehicles, I’ll be adding tanks and other vehicles to this project in the future, firstly I got the green to the shade I wanted by brushing on a mix of Vallejo dark German camo green and medium olive, over the sprayed humbrol base coat of 149+101, which I thought was a little to blue, then I added camo with Vallejo desert yellow 977 and a mix GW Rhinox hide brown and Vallejo flat brown 984, then a gave a filter of either desert yellow or the brown, then blackened the tyres and added decals, next I’ll seal with varnish, then start the oils washes.

Printed these out this week, the Schneider P16s and VUBDs are for a friend, the KV1s for another friend, 1 wheel on either side failed to print on 1 of the KV1s, so I isolated a wheel and printed a couple, the Steyr 1500, Kubel and Daimler Benz G5s are all for my own projects.

You’d think from everything I’ve printed it would be running 24/7, but this new machine has a pretty big print volume and is fairly quick, so all the German cars for instance took 5 hours, same for the P16s, Vubds and KV1s

Hi guys
Preparing my Hungarian infantry, using Simons Soldiers Germans, which I think are perfect for the role, not a lot of converting to do, mostly on weapons, had to change the MP40s to 39Ms, and MG34s to MG30s, I also added some raincoat/greatcoat rolls, and moustaches to get that Hungarian look, had already finished this lot, and another order arrived from Simons Soldiers, with drivers, more HMGs and mortars and gun crews, also some French gun crews for when I get to them, I really like the guy in the greatcoat, only have the 1, I have a bunch of AB greatcoat Germans, which are great, but they have a different feel, think I’m going to have to find more Drews sculpted greatcoats for this force.
I also did some washes and dry brushes on the vehicles, more work on them to follow.

Hi guys
Prepping the next batch of vehicles for base coating, 1 tray of vehicles (the tray with the 3 sticks of French infantry) is a commission, the rest is for myself, got to build the Matchbox Monty’s caravan kit for a client, came in the original matchbox box to, a bit of work in that old kit, brought back fond memories, built a lot of matchbox kits as a kid.
For this weeks 3D printing I concentrated on some light artillery for my various projects, I think I messed up the scaling of the 88mm puppchen wheels, they look far to small, so going to have to re print those, but the ski version turned out nice, the ski version will be split between my winter FJs and winter Heer, the wheeled puppchen will go to my Normandy FJs, the 75mm GebIG 18 mountain guns will go to my Gebirgjagers, the IG18s will go to my early Heer, the half tracks will go to my 21st Pz Div, not sure who will end up with the Nebelwerfers, but they looked cool, so printed them, I’m sure I’ll find a home for them

Hi guys
Got a big batch base coated today, it was a cooler day here in Queensland, not all of it mine, the desert yellow, and all of the Panzer grey (except the Styre), all of the infantry and some of the French vehicles are on commission, it’s all far from done, but at least the ball is rolling on some of these French vehicles. But now the number of base coated vehicles is starting to build, not enough hours in the day.

Hi guys
Finished these on commission (all except the 2 Hungarian Pak 36s and Styre 1500 command car, which are mine) there’s Monty’s Caravan (Leyland Retriever) and Daimler Dingo scout car, and the Monty vignette all matchbox, the Sdkfz 231 and 263s are PSC, 3x bikes/sidecars are Zvezda, not sure who makes the resin Pz I and 2, or the heavy gun (metal), the Pak crew and French infantry are all Simons Soldiers.
Next in my personal projects, finishing my Hungarian vehicles, they need basing and crews added.

So cool!
Note for the Hungarians: camouflaged helmet covers only appear in some films shot back home, there is no evidence of using such things on the front. Camo clothing only appeared as custom tailored jackets for some officers late war, the common soldier only carried the camouflaged tent-poncho (standard equipment in all periods, here shown on the spotter of the camo Pak), sometimes that was used as an overcoat. There was no other camo clothing used in any period of the war.

Hi guys
Did some work on these Char B1s today, they are mostly mine, the 2 on the far back right are 3D printed and are for a customer, the rest are mine, the 2 at the back left are trumpeter, the front right is Matchbox, and front left is a diecast pre built/painted, I have just given that one a pin wash, it’s a vehicle of the 15th Char Battalion, 3rd company, so doing all the other Chars from the same unit, I’m using this very useful site for info http://www.chars-francais.net/2015/index.php/classement-individuel/chars-b1-et-b1-bis (http://www.chars-francais.net/2015/index.php/classement-individuel/chars-b1-et-b1-bis)

Custom helmet covers were common, but usually came in the form of a self-made wire or rope netting for leaves and grass.
Tent-poncho could be worn as a cape, if you do not manage to find a better reference I have a figure in my 1/35 thread showing how it was worn. Joining two together made a tent for two soldiers, but I am pretty sure that more skilled soldiers "acquired" a third one to make a more comfortable tent. The camo jackets and helmet covers mentioned also most likely were made from unused/damaged tent ponchos.
The positive side not using camo is that unlike for example Germans, most Hungarian figures fit all periods of the war, difference between periods come with the tanks used.
Nice work on the French tanks!

Hi guys
Update on these 1/72 Char B1s, have completed their markings, mostly (poorly) hand painted, and given a black pin wash, next up I’ll give them a heavy oil streaking, period pictures show these tanks very grimy and streaky.
This weeks 3D prints include some German bicycle troops which will go to my Luftwaffe field division, as their recon company, the Luftwaffe field division troops were very poorly equipped, even more poorly trained, and lead just as poorly.
Heaps more pics here

Hi guys
The Char B1s are finished, all but the bases anyway, wanted these guys grubby, all the period pics I’ve seen show them very grubby, 2 3D printed ones will be shipped of to their owner, the other 4 will go into the cabinet to be based later, also, printed some mid war stugs, I’m thinking I will give them to an Eastern front winter German project I’m planning. Next I’ll finish my Hungarian vehicles.

Hi guys
This first batch of Hungarian vehicles is finished (all but the basing) the 2 unpainted cars will be added to the next Hungarian vehicle batch, the crew commanders in the Csaba Armoured cars are AB Italian tankers, the helmet and cut of the uniform was pretty similar and they make pretty good Hungarian crews. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out.

Ithe trucks look great and the tankers and painting are excellent, but the Csaba prints are not working for me. There is 'prominent rivets' and 'scale soup-plates'.
Wish Night Sky or Arvernes did Hungarian vehicles.

Yes, unfortunately, the rivets are over scale, the stl is made for printing at 1/100, maybe they look better at that scale, there is a paid for stl that has better rivets, but I wasn’t aware of it at the time I printed and had started painting these, I may re do them down the track, but I’m notoriously lazy, so probably won’t.

Thanks

They look really great!
the crew commanders in the Csaba Armoured cars are AB Italian tankers, the helmet and cut of the uniform was pretty similar and they make pretty good Hungarian crews
The first real tanks of Hungary were Italian made Ansaldo tankettes, with those the Italian tanker gear (leather suit and helmet) also came, and was used on other vehicles too. Even Hungarian motorbike soldiers used this Italian tanker gear a lot.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for the info.

One more thought. Although the leather jacket and trousers were used by every Hungarian tanker, I've never seen the Italian helmet used with a German-made tank (incluting Pz38(t) ). My guess is that it was not compatible with the German comm equipment.

Hi guys
My next mini project is a bicycle recon company for my Luftwaffe field division, these Luftwaffe units were extremely poorly equipped, trained and lead, they were a microcosm of everything wrong with the German military system, a dysfunctional competitive power structure trying to field combat units without the knowledge, equipment or infrastructure, wasting huge numbers of top quality manpower that was needed to bolster desperate Heer units, these Luftwaffe units were under strength, instead of fielding a recon battalion they fielded a recon company generally mounted on bicycles, instead of ignoring these poor units I’m going to enjoy building 1, the miniatures were bought from here www.wargaming3d.com Due to their poor performance these units were taken from Luftwaffe control and given to the Heer, so ended up wearing fieldgrey uniforms, but they did start out wearing fieldblue Luftwaffe uniforms, and I want them to stand apart from other German troops so will paint them in fieldblue, I’m adding the Luftwaffe camo jacket by removing the chest pockets (that applies for Luftwaffe field blouses to) lengthening it, and I’ll add front hip pockets, they are nice figures, but I added bigger collars, as their collars are quite small with little detail, they also lack a bit of personal equipment, so will be adding water bottles, gasmask containers, and mess tins, then I’ll mount them and paint. Looking at a way I can print the bikes without riders, so I can model the troops dismounted.
Have added a pic next to an AB figure for a size comparison, printed the figure as 25mm tall to top of head.

Bicycles have never looked so good in miniature form since the introduction of 3D printers into the hobby 8)
These look ace, and I'd be interested in seeing how they would scale up to 28mm, Especially when you're able to have loose bikes.
I reckon a pile of bikes in the rear is all one needs to represent bike mounted troops in a combat situation; they usually dismounted before engaging after all.
This is mostly because I eventually want to add bike mounted troops to my early war Dutch, and a simple bunch of loose bikes would help get that across.
One thing I did just see though; some of the bikes have their sprockets on the left and others on the right. Was this a deliberate thing, or did you just flip certain files to create variety? Because as far as I know, all sprockets should be on the right...
Great work though; can't wait to see them painted!

Good pick up, yes I have mirrored some poses, the set I bought only had 4 poses in it, hadn’t thought of the chain, I wonder if I can cut them off and relocate to the correct side, I’ll check that out, I bought the stl’s for seperate bikes, so set for that.
Oh and the files were in 28mm when I bought them, so I presume they would print well at that scale.
-
Possibly worth asking the vendor if they could supply files with rider and bikes separately. But there are always things you miss when mirroring

Hi guys
An update on my 1/72 Luftwaffe field division recon troops, they are almost ready to undercoat, I’m thinking of adding stowage to the racks, and need to grit the bases. The pack I bought had STLs for 4 poses, wanting more variation I mirrored the poses to make 8, the lack of personal equipment made that easy, however I forgot about the bicycle chain, which should be on the right hand side, so I had to relocate those to the correct side, I’ve done a couple of head swaps, added personal equipment, added the longer camo coat, added bigger collars and shoulder straps and given them a leader, he won’t be an officer, he’ll be a senior NCO, I’ll add a staff car with officer to lead these troops later, I bought another couple of poses, so will print them out, and I’ll make up an LMG team, then I’ll do dismounted troops, I’ve also bought the STL for the bikes on their own, which can be scattered around when they dismount to fight, for Chain of command I’ll make some patrol markers with dropped bikes on them.

Yeah the LW field divisions were very poorly equiped, the division only got a recon company rather than a battalion, and was usually equipped with bicycles, rather than MCs or armoured cars.

Hi guys
As a kid one of my favourite TV shows was Hogans heroes, along with mash, dads army, it ain’t half hot mum, allo allo, and a lot of others of that flavour, I always imagined what it would have been like for Klink and Schultz if they had stuffed up one to many times and finally been sent to the Russian front, and for a long time now I have had a project rattling around my head.
One day I am browsing Simons Soldiers site, and in the volksturm range I spy this fat guy in a greatcoat, and think he may be a good starting figure for Schults, so the hunt was on for the perfect Col Klink figure, he had to have the right uniform cut and pose, no heroic combat pose for Klink, I found him in the AB DaK range, 3rd from the left in the AB group pic, I wanted him hatless, so you can see he is bald, and I wanted him to have a monocle and riding crop, these 2 figures are the whole reason for me doing a Luftwaffe field division force, and are the centre piece to that army, I have also bought but not yet printed a greatcoatless fat German soldier STL to see how that would go as Schultz, I’ll make him up as well.
What about basing? I try to make my forces universal, so they can be used for many rule sets, I see Klink and Schulz as being symbiotic, and feel they should be based together on 1 base, I can’t see Schulz of leading men in combat, so don’t think I’d use him as an individual leader, he’s more a very slow runner, dispensing Col Klinks incoherent orders off to be deciphered by more capable NCOs, maybe I’ll make that second 3D Schultz and base separately if needed.
They might not be convincing as the bumbling duo yet, but they will be after painting I hope, thoughts?

Hi guys
These guys have been sitting on the shelf half painted calling out “monsieur, mon ami, please finish us” and I have been ignoring them for a long time, but gave them a little love today, another good session and they will be finished, they are mostly Simon Soldiers lovely French with some Early war miniatures mixed in, which mix pretty well, pretty sure the guns are EWM as well.

I do like the look of early war French forces, and these are both nice figures and very well painted and presented. I do like the poses of the infantry, with the poilou pressing forward, and the officer stood upright in his rouge kepi!

French look great, but I’m mighty impressed with the green stuff mods above, it’s hard enough on 28mm minis….never mind 20mm!

Started the next batch of vehicles 2 x Somua S35s (for a client) and 4 x Trippel SG6s for my own projects, 2 will go to my fictional SS KG Danl, the other 2 will go to my 21st Pz D project, also finished some crews for some various armoured vehicles that need them, and a bunch of AB dismounted crew, for when I need bailed out crews.

Hi guys
These characters have been a long time coming, from thinking about making a 1/72 Klink and Schultz 15 years ago, to their completion today (all but flocking the base) the bumbling duo are ready to lead my Luftwaffe field Division troops to certain failure.
Figures used - Schultz is from Simon Soldier Volksturm range, and Klink is from ABs Dak officer set with a 3D printed head, I enlarged Schultz’s collar, added shoulder boards, and some tunic details, gave him a mo, and changed his hat to a helmet, for Klink I printed a bald head, looked for the longest face I could find, sculpted hair around his bald spot, cut a package from under his arm, drilled a hole for a plasticard rod riding crop.

Completed these winter Germans on commission, a mix of Heer and SS, all AB miniatures, the Pak 40 is Zvezda with AB crew, the Schwimwagen was a spare 3D print I had lying around, so thought I’d throw it in, a fun little project that fit in well with my own current projects.

Hi guys
These Luftwaffe bicycle troops are finally finished, I will be adding to the group some supporting elements, MGs, mortars etc and this horse mounted company commander, not sure if I should do a head swap on him, I’m also tossing up the idea of making a figure for General Bulkhalter, Colonel Klinks commanding officer from the show to lead the Luftwaffe field Division, being a fat officer in a greatcoat, I’ll probably need to sculpt him, my only issue is that he is Heer not Luftwaffe, however, with the LWFD being given over to the Heers control in 43 there probably some scope to fit him in.

Much mind bleach required. However the wardrobe malfunctions were possibly not so inadvertent. Familiarise yourself with the concept of Freikörperkultur and the German propensity to get their kit off at the drop of a hat.

Great looking Germans!

These are really great.
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen…….a few years ago we were performing in a tattoo at the NIA Birmingham. I nearly killed myself running into hand to hand in segs on a polished floor……but I digress. What came on after us, was a World War One Dutch Bicycle mounted band….and they were AWESOME!

Interesting, I assume they didn’t play whilst cycling? That’d be more a circus act, what was your role in the tattoo? Are you a service member? I’m former Royal Australian Artillery, gunner than forward observer signaller, hand to hand? I’m sure there’s a good story there.
-
They certainly did play whilst cycling! They simply controlled movement with forward and reverse peddling and presumably leaning to steer. One or two even had full glockenspiels mounted above the handlebars, kettle drums on each side etc….brilliant.
No, not in the services, simply 17th century historical reenactor. We were there to make a lot of noise is all.

As you say, the Luftwaffe Field Divisions became part of the army from November 1943 and 'mixed dress' was very visible in photos of troops from 16. Feld-Division (L) in Normandy, so just mix in Heer troops to your heart's content! :)

Hi guys
I’ve printed out some artillery for my Luftwaffe field Division troops, the 76.2cm Fk288 (r) which is the German designation for the Russian Zis3, and the M30 122mm howitzers, the 16th LWFD had these 2 guns in there artillery units, whilst I’m not specifically doing the 16th, I am using the 16th as the template and will use my LWFD force as any of the divisions.
Im also working on some German pioneer bridging units, so have printed out a couple of heavy lorries with bridging equipment, there should have been 4, but 2 failed, every self respecting army should have the option to cross rivers.
And I’ve printed a French MC sidecar unit, these STLs were bought of wargaming3D, I’m not entirely sure the dimensions are accurate, I haven’t researched them yet, but the bikes and sidecars feel a little small, but they’ll do the job for now.

I’ve seen the blue a few times, but only on models, I haven’t seen a museum S35 with blue, but I have seen light grey but in a very different scheme, I can never tell what colours are what on B&W pics, so Ive just copied other, here’s another similar scheme
-
That one with the light grey is very unusual.
Perhaps I need a few more S35s to try some different paint schemes…. (Although all my current French forces rarely get on the table together)

Hi guys
These vehicles have sat in my cabinet without crews or flocked bases, so pulled them out and finished them of, I’ll need to paint up some crew figs for the armoured cars, but they now back in the cabinet feeling finished (although, I need to paint some yellow numbers on the Pz IVs)

Being a rivet counter, wasn't the 75mm 233 produced from Dec 1942? - so not really contemporaneous with yellow numbers on the Pz IV? Cracking looking vehicles though, and the crew figures really make the difference.

The vehicles are part of my panzer grey project, covering from France 1940 to the end of Stalingrad, the idea being to have a pool of vehicles that you can make a force for any date within that scope, so not all vehicles would be fielded together, want to play France? Pick the Pz I, II, early IIIs and early IVs, etc.
-
Very sensible. I've done pretty much the same thing. And unfortunately I love doing rare vehicles like the Sig33 and the Luchs as well as the huge variety of armoured cars and softskins.

Hi guys
Finished this lot of (except basing and crews for the P16s) the H39s and P107s will be winging off to their new owner soon, and the P16s will go in the display cabinet until I pull them out to base and add crews. They are all 3D printed, pretty happy with how they came out, of to pick something out to work on next.

This week I’ve printed some gun tractors in the form of Krupps and Sdkfz 6s, the Krupps will go to my Hungarians, will do another lot that will go to my various German groups later, the Sdkfz 6s will go to my Germans, probably my LWFD, and I printed some Sdkfz 251 funnies, they’ll go to my fictional ss unit, KG Danl, these are all pretty nicely designed STLs, and will paint up well, all of thingyverse.

Hi guys
Doing some work on the gun tractors and 251s, should I use the sdkfz 11 or the Krupps to tow the Hungarian 75mm Skodas? The Hungarians used both, but the Sdkfz seems overkill for a 75mm, Yes, I realise the Skodas have spoked wheels, so should be horse drawn, I’m going to ignore that.
Adding some crew and stowage to the 251s, I’ll need to pick up some AA crew, for the 251/17, and I’ll need to convert the crew for the 251/16, give them protective hoods, have undercoated the vehicles ready for base coating.

Hi guys
Trying out an old technique, but a new one for me, at least one I haven’t done since the early 2000s, pretty simple really, just rattle canning the base coat, I’ve had an airbrush for a long time and usually airbrush my base coats, but I felt like trying something new, here I’ve used Tamiya dark yellow, German grey and olive drab, I undercoated black (rattlecan) let dry, then applied the base coat. They turned out OK, and will be a good start for working on.
I tested a Hungarian car with the olive drab, but wasn’t happy with the colour, so I masked of some camo and over sprayed in dark yellow, hadn’t planned on using this style so didn’t buy a brown for a 3 tone camo, so this guy will stay green/yellow, it turned out OK, so I’ll be grabbing a brown for 3 tone later, it will go to my Luftwaffe troops maybe, I’ll try some different greens for the Hungarian base coat.
I’ll use this technique maybe every 3rd batch just to change it up a bit.
I was expecting the German grey to be a bit darker, but was pleasantly surprised to see they came out lighter than expected which will be easier for me to work with, I like some variation in shades and tones so will use filters to achieve that.

Hey Gunner
I think they came out quite good.
I use rattle can for undercoat & basecoat both for minis & vehicles as I think the paint is stronger ( though obviously one has to be careful how many layers are done). Then its washes, airbrush etc.

-
The Tamiya rattle cans are remarkably good for base coating. It's pretty much my go to for the job, albeit I tend to prime with a generic grey primer that Bunnings sell for about a fiver a can.
-
Good progress, but sadly there are some problems, I hope it is still not beyond correction :)
Hungarian army bought the SdKfz11s for the Göring 105mm guns, occasionally also used for the 40mm Bofors AA cannons too. The upper part of the Hungarian SdKfz11s were produced in Hungary in the Uhri factory, it was a unique half-plateau version with an unique driver cab. Other SdKfz11 versions were not used. This is my 1/35 model (I had to scratchbuild the upper parts, I can send you some reference pictures, not too hard to do).

The 37mms and the Nebelwerfers were towed by Krupp Protzes, some of these also had Hungarian-built superstructure, but here the German versions are also OK. 75mms and other ww1 relics were towed by horse-drawn limbers, no school like the old school.
Hungarian army had its own three-colour camo pattern, green base with big yellow and dark brown spots. There is an official set for this from MiG, I use Tamiya NATO Green, Tamiya Dark Yellow, and for the brown there are some variations, basically it was an almost-black dark colour (Tamiya Tire Black), but sometimes lighter browns were also used. Some vehicles were plain green, some others kept the original german Dunkelgrau (mostly trucks, also some of the Protzes), but Hungarian-made or modified vehicles usually had the Hungarian camo pattern. SdKfz11s all had it, I have one picture from one with white winter camo. Here is my 1/35 Toldi, maybe the colour is showing better, tanks came in camo and in plain green too.

Love the truck under attack by giant slugs. Thought you were going into alternative WW2 territory there ;)

Good progress, but sadly there are some problems, I hope it is still not beyond correction :)

Hi Freddy, sorry for the confusion, my plans often change rapidly with new info, I’ve actually allocated the 11s to 1 of my German units, hence the dark yellow, the 75mm Skodas will now have horse teams.
I’ve already started painting Hungarian vehicles, here’s some pics, but nice pic of their 11, thanks.

Hi guys
I’ve printed up some Pz IV Ds and Es, I’m very grateful for all the efforts of the designers of these STLs, however due to being designed for smaller scales often the details are chunky, there was also a slight error with the D turret side hatches, 2 door instead of 1, I didn’t notice this error until after I had printed, so to fix I removed and printed the door on its own, cut off the 2 doors, and glued the single door on, I drilled the barrels, and replaced the coaxial MG, I will also replace the hull MG, then add stowage, they will be painted as DaK vehicles for a friend.

They look nice, in smaller scales you need lighter colours anyways.

Question: I don’t have a 3D printer yet and was wondering if these vehicles would be durable for a child to play with?
Obviously not as much as a Matchbox vehicle but for an 8 year old with Airfix and other brands of figures?

Yes, the vehicles are pretty durable, it’s possible to break things of if dropping one hard floors, there’s different types of resins you can use, with different strengths, flexibility etc but fragility only really concerns me with small figures, weapons etc, not really vehicles.

Hi guys
I’m about done with the build part of these Pz IVDs and Es, next step will be undercoating black, on another note, I’m trying to learn CAD, so as to be able to make these kinds of changes on the computer before printing, have been designing a Hungarian Sdkfz 11, will do a post regarding that soon.

Hi guys
I wanted to 3D print a set of Sdkfz 11s as gun tractors for my Hungarians, whilst the Hungarians used a number of regular Sdkfz 11s, their gun tractor version was a unique version of the 11 with a cargo area behind the drivers cab, so I took the opportunity to teach myself CAD and design one, the first picture below shows the Hungarian version, the 2nd pic (blue vehicle) is the file I will be converting, designed by big_eye on thingyverse, the following pics are what I have done so far, the last 3 pics are a comparison of the tracks I’m working on, mine are green, the tracks in the original file are blue, I’ve added track pads and teeth and reshaped the track a little, the end product will have a metal drivers cab roof that’s printed separately so as to be able to insert a driver, and I will have a seperate rear trap cover so it can be modelled on or off. At the same time as designing the Hungarian version, I’ll also be adding or changing detail to be more scale appropriate. To get to where I am I had to hollow the original design as it was solid, and add an interior, not sure how it will print, but excited to find out.

Hi guys
Started work on these 3 Sdkfz 11s, lots more to do on them, originally meant for Hungarian artillery tractors, however I’m designing a Hungarian version in CAD, so these will become artillery tractors for a German unit, also a Daimler Benz G5 heading for a German unit, I also did some work on the front wheels for my Hungarian Sdkfz 11, in the picture the grey wheel on the right is the original, the wheel on the left with yellow and orange areas is my changed wheel.

Hi guys
This Hungarian Sdkfz 11 CAD sculpt is not finished, but I got antsy and want to see if it was going to print, so I did a test print, there was an issue with the bench seat in the drivers cab, I think it was weakened when I hollowed the vehicle, I will fix that issue, when I looked at the print I thought the detail, rivets and the like, may have been to small, but after undercoating in grey they are a little more visible, I may go back and enlarge them slightly, what do you think? I have taken pics with another Sdkfz 11 I printed earlier which shows the original file before I did anything to it. I’m pretty chuffed at how it turned out, a few more details to change/add and I will do another print. There is also a rear canvas cover, and a drivers cab roof that will come separately with the vehicle, some people like solid cabs, so I may also do a solid option.
Any suggestions on further improvements

Hi guys
Almost finished with this vehicle, have added a few details, handles on the ammo bin doors, grab handles at the rear entrance, track link detail, added a slight bulge in the tyre wall, added stowed canvas frame at the rear of the ammo bin, and finished and printed the drivers cab roof and canvas cover for the rear, I have just sat these lose on the vehicle for the pics, I’m pretty happy with the STL, any faults are due to poor support placement or happened post production, to attach the rear canvas property in its current form I’d need to trim some detail, I could create a file with the canvas cover attached to the vehicle as one pieces, I could also create a solid drivers cab option, thoughts?
I’ve also started on my next vehicle a Hungarian 35m KV40 artillery tractor, it’s coming along nicely, having som issues with a very complicated rear tyre though. I may have reached the limits of my current skills.

Hi guys
Base coated these Pz IVDs and Es for a friend, doing them as Dak vehicles, I also printed one of Tigeraces Pz IVs, somehow I missed his PzIV D and E pack when collecting the STLs, otherwise I would have gone with his, the detail is much better, especially around the running gear, need another 2 Es for my friends Barbarossa project, will be working on these over the next week.

Hi guys
A test print of the Hungarian HSCS KV-40 artillery tractor at 1/72 scale, whilst it actually looks pretty good, I’m proceeding with caution, as the canvas cover frame looks pretty fragile, and I’m anticipating them not surviving the clean up process, however there’s proof of life at least. I’ve got a pretty busy day ahead, so won’t be able to clean them up until tomorrow, once done I will do another post. I’m in the process of creating a shop on wargaming3D where I will eventually release these STLs. In the digital pic below, the figure is 25mm tall for size comparison. As I am a former Australian soldier I have used a Simons Soldiers Aussie soldier as a physical size comparison. In the digital pic below the tractor on the right looks smaller than the one on the left, this is an optical illusion, they are the same size.

So cool!
There are not many pictures with the canvas or the cover frame on, so do not worry about that imho (this might just mean that no one whipped out a camera during rainy weather ofc)

Yes, canvas tilts are beyond my skills at this moment, this is only my second design, maybe in the future, but for now I intend on adding a tilt the old fashioned way, to a least one of them, tissue and white glue.
Hi guys
2nd test print of the Hungarian KV-40 Artillery tractor, the first test print was far to fragile, (I’ll be using those for battlefield wrecks) the tilt frame broke especially, but the whole thing was to fragile and broke when removing from the supports, they are on the left in the first picture, and the last 3 pictures, so I thickened the frame from .5mm to .8mm and gave all the wheels more support, I think they still look pretty good, not to thick but much sturdier, however I will need to now go back and and strengthen the rear superstructure, as 2 broke off, and the others are a little flimsy, they will get tougher after curing, but I want the final version of the tractors to be able to survive the clean up process, once I’ve strengthened the superstructure I think I will have that as the “display” model version, I then intend to thicken the frame again to 1mm to produce a “wargaming” version to avoid damage on the tabletop. I will cure and clean these up, undercoat in grey and take more pics so as to really see the details, even as I go through this process I have started on the next design, the German Lanz Bulldog D8506 1937 tractor, after that I’ll be searching for a WWII French tractor to build, my Wargaming3D shop isn’t up yet, limited time is delaying that, will sit down and work that out this week hopefully.

Hi guys
Trying out an old technique, but a new one for me, at least one I haven’t done since the early 2000s, pretty simple really, just rattle canning the base coat, I’ve had an airbrush for a long time and usually airbrush my base coats, but I felt like trying something new, here I’ve used Tamiya dark yellow, German grey and olive drab, I undercoated black (rattlecan) let dry, then applied the base coat. They turned out OK, and will be a good start for working on.
I tested a Hungarian car with the olive drab, but wasn’t happy with the colour, so I masked of some camo and over sprayed in dark yellow, hadn’t planned on using this style so didn’t buy a brown for a 3 tone camo, so this guy will stay green/yellow, it turned out OK, so I’ll be grabbing a brown for 3 tone later, it will go to my Luftwaffe troops maybe, I’ll try some different greens for the Hungarian base coat.
I’ll use this technique maybe every 3rd batch just to change it up a bit.
I was expecting the German grey to be a bit darker, but was pleasantly surprised to see they came out lighter than expected which will be easier for me to work with, I like some variation in shades and tones so will use filters to achieve that.

Hate to bother you but what kind of putty did you use to make those worm shapes to get the camo effect? I tried doing this over the weekend with terrible results the putty did not come off easily and left a blue color on the base coat.

I use blutac, I think in other countries it maybe called poster putty? Did you try and remove the blue putty by taking a ball of the putty and dabbing it on the residue?

I use stuff called 'clever putty' which is more viscous than blu-tac or similar. You apply it and let it 'settle' into the recesses etc.
-
I used the blue tac I eventually got it off but it left a blue color on the undercoat and I had to re-prime it.

Hmm, never had that before, I’ve used blutac to mount figures and models for painting for decades and never had it stain paint.
-
I have had old blutac stick rather persistently to surfaces but in general if it's fresh and unadulterated it just peels off and any left over is removed by dabbing it with a bigger piece as described above.
Even on those rare occasions when there is a sticky residue it comes off fairly easily with the application of a touch of alcohol. Beats the piss and pick handles out of cutting up irregular shaped bits of masking tape.
-
Maybe it was old, Im not sure just how old it was. I purchased another one and will use that next time. Hopefully with better results.

Maybe test it first, spray something disposable and do a test run to see if it does it again.

Seriously, just spend the little extra on a product designed for masking and save yourself the heartache, resprays and ruined paint jobs

That's a great idea, I can do it on the used sprue once the model is built.

Hi guys
A good friend and client of mine sent me an early birthday present, a PMA sdkfz 8 DB 9 flak 18, it’s a very nice little pre built model, I was surprised to find the cab and bonnet armour can be removed, it’s a pretty cool little vehicle, I’m not going to do to much to it, I might replace the tools as they are soft rubber and a little warped out of shape, and do a little more weathering then add a crew, probably AB, or maybe Simons Soldiers, a good little addition to my early war Germans, thanks Ray.

Oh, oh! A Lanz Bulldog and the further Lanz Eil Bulldog. They are right beasts those. But the model you have works well. I am happy to see someone use them for their modelling projects.
Here's a video, albeit in german if you are interested. Used a timestamp so it isn't too bothersome. https://youtu.be/3w9rmVQuDJU?t=2532

LOL, not good enough for anyone to actually buy them though, lucky I was making them for my own collection and not relying on them to generate an income, oh well, to niche a subject for that, but I love my prints, started painting them today, and wouldn’t you know it, my hard drive has crashed tonight, so the Hansa-Lloyd Sdkfz11 may never be released, we will see.

It's a Qld thing. All that mental energy spent by the populace at large into putting curves into bananas upsets the troposphere and signal reception. It's also why Joh Bjelke Peterson sounded like a complete drooling loon to anyone south of the Tweed.
I think it's the main reason why they put the RA Sigs concrete warriors at Watsonia rather than Enoggera or Townsville. :D

Hi guys
1st test print of the D8506 tractor, used by the Wehrmacht in various roles and Romanians as an artillery tractor, doesn’t seem to be any weak areas, all errors in the print are from support placement, except the left rear wheel tried direction, it is going in the wrong direction, I’ve fixed that for the next test print, pretty happy with how these have turned out, I’ll have another go at adding supports, do a second test print and I’ll add it to my Wargaming3D shop.

Hi guys
Preparing to do a test print on my 4th CAD file, a German Hf2 wagon, we all need lots of the neglected horse drawn wagons, well I do anyway, I’m not sure how to CAD living things like horses, I personally have a lot of spare 1/72 horse I can use, but for now I may need to find a way to provide horses with it. I’m doing 4 options, horses hitched and unhitched and spare wheel attached or unattached. This is based on Egbert Michels excellent 1/200 file, updated to 1/72 or larger detail and a slight adjust in some areas, I will provide it as a free file when it’s ready.

As for horses, there must be STL files out there already, hopefully with harness, but if not bare?

Hi guys
1st test print of the German Hf2 horse drawn cart done, I need to thicken/strengthen the break lever mechanism, the shovel and the axles, there was some breakage there, I also may consider making the hitching pole a seperate piece, to lessen warping, and enable it to be positioned however you like, which would lessen the STL files from 4 to 3.
I’m pretty happy with how these turned out, the wood grain is especially nice, I think the sizing is about right, have added various 20mm-1/72 figures for scale, as far as horses go, I’m going to add harnesses to a few free horse STLs and see how they look, try and get a variety of horse poses.
Once done I’ll add it as a free download to https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/dan-dunbar/ (https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/dan-dunbar/)

I found some horses on thingyverse, made by Brexit, have added harnesses to them, they'll do the trick, I'm planning on doing a lot of horse drawn stuff, (an ambo next) so I will add these to my shop link (https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/dan-dunbar/) as a free download to be added to the wagons, I Strengthened and thickened the weak points on the Hf2 wagons, they are now available as a free download on My shop next up? we all need drivers for our wagons.

I have to ask as I don’t have a 3D printer - keep thinking about it but not sure I have the time for one - is the print a solid chunk or hollow.
Keep up the good work.

The ambulances are very cool - I’ve not seen them before. Were they carry-overs from WWI, or newer?
With the wagons etc do you expect to get them on the gaming table? I ask as my 10mm WWII Germans have a fair few wagons and horse drawn limbers, but they hardly ever got on the table.

Yeah probably not, but that’s not really why I do most things, I’m always making/painting stuff that’ll never get to a gaming table.

Hi guys
IMPORTANT MESSAGE : there was a fault in some of the files on my shop causing them to not work in some slicers, I have fixed the fault, if you have an error, re download the files and try again.
The kitchen part of the Hf-12 field kitchen is almost done, just need to add a couple of details, have started work on the limber also.
My files can be found here at My shop My shop https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/dan-dunbar/ (https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/dan-dunbar/)

Hi guys
Here's the first test print of the field kitchen, the file is good, seems strong enough, the towing pintle on the limber didn't print, I'm not sure if that maybe a support issue, and a little deformity at the rear lower right side of the kitchen, which is a support issue so I'll change the supports and try again, I'd say this set will be in my shop next week.My shop link (https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/dan-dunbar/)

Great stuff - I remember looking at the Tamiya 1/35th one many times in their catalogue.
Do you think these would print scaled at 50%?

Do you think these would print scaled at 50%?
So 1/100ish? Really not sure, at some stage I should make 1/100 versions, I find scaling up is easy, scaling down not so much, things get thinner, more fragile, try and let me know how you go.
-
Looks great (I actually have the Tamiya 1/35 version :) )
-
Marvelous!!! You have made some pieces that are hard to find in any scale.
LOL, while I was looking at the kitchen I thought...wonder where they kept the horse feed and how did they transport it? Maybe another project for you!?!?!?!?

Hi guys
The German WWII Hf.12 field kitchen is now available on my store, next up the Hansa-Lloyd Sdkfz11 Hungarian artillery tractor, long story short my external hard drive crashed and I thought the file was lost, however I found a file I had uploaded to Autodesk 360 and forgotten about, it was most of the vehicle, just need to re sculpt the drivers cab roof and cargo tilt.

Sweet! I really need to dust off my printer now. Are you intending to do an AA wagon?
As for usage on the table, if nothing else, damaged or just a abandoned they would make great scatter terrain.

Hi guys
The Hansa-Lloyd Sdkfz11 Hungarian artillery tractor is now available, what a journey this one has undergone, a couple of weeks ago my external hard drive died, the I.T. guy was unable to retrieve the data, and I thought my only copy of this vehicle was lost, and I was unsure if I had the energy to re build it, however whilst looking through Autodesk 360 (I hadn’t been using this software until now) I realised I had try to upload the Hansa-Lloyd previously, I hadn’t thought it had uploaded, but I found the file there, it was missing the drivers roof and rear tilt, so I re did those and it is ready to go.
There are 3 options, 1) closed cab and rear tilt attached, 2) hollow cab and no rear tilt (cab roof and rear tilt seperate) 3) hollow cab and rear tilt attached

Going to try and get through a set of horse drawn equipment for Germany, Hungary, France, and Russia, then Maybe.

A lot of the WWII vehicles have already been drawn in 3D by M Bergman - wouldn’t be surprised in the RSO is in them

Hi guys
My current personal work bench, these are all still WIP, need to paint up more drivers and horses, add some stowage, then weathering and basing, my next CAD designs will be German horse drawn artillery limbers, files can be found at my shop, or painted and unpainted physical prints can be obtained from me, Dan,dunbar@hotmail.com

Hi guys
First test print of 3 German artillery limbers, Field limber 18 (spoked wheels), light field howitzer limber 18 (pressed wheels), and the field howitzer limber 98, they need a little work on some parts like the back rests that are to thin and have warped, also printed 1 of the solid cab Hansa-Lloyds designed for wargamers who like solid cabs, I’ll work on these over the next few days, the limbers will be release sometime next week as a pack, I will also work on a limber pole for 4 or 6 horse teams, and will be found on my shop sight.

Hi guys
3 x German artillery limbers, Field limber 18 (spoked wheels), light field howitzer limber 18 (pressed wheels), and the field howitzer limber 98 are now available in my shop, link below, I’ve also done a test print of the limber for the anti aircraft wagon, it’s the one with the rubber tyres, it will be included with the AA set, not with the arty limbers set, however the next progression, now that I’ve done the rubber tyres would be the Hf.7 wagon. Physical prints can be obtained by emailing me at Dan.dunbar@hotmail.com
The next question is should I continue with releasing new models/files? Whilst comments and interactions are pretty positive it unfortunately isn’t translating into sales (17 sales in total across 5 products, in the past month, whilst the free Hf2 wagon has been downloaded 507 on its own) what is the general consensus? It’s a catch 22 situation, producers of models release endless streams of Tigers and panthers because they sell, and vehicle like this are left un produced, people say they want to see all these wholes in the market filled, but when they are produced they are ignored, continue or not? I was planning on producing French, Soviet and Hungarian horse drawn equipment, but I suspect they would sell much worse than these German ones, I would like some feed back because I’m seriously considering changing something.

Funnily enough I was just listening to the Painting Phase with Annie from Bad Squiddo Games talking about exactly the same problem.
I hate to say this because I would love the see more but I think you can only justify making more if you want them for your own games or just want to know that they exist in the world and see any money made as a bonus. The soviet one might be viable but I can't see the others shifting many units.

Yeah, I’m thinking the same, my main issue is the stress involved in producing something for others, if I’m only doing it for myself, there’s no stress, I can go at my own pace, if there’s a fault in a print, I’ll just add a little green stuff or plasticard to fix etc, but producing something for others becomes stressful, I don’t want to put something out that’s not as perfect as I can get it, and it almost feels selfish to just produce things like this just for myself, I’m sort of drawn to releasing it to the hobby community for others to enjoy, I could give it away, but that won’t alleviate the stresses involved, and the capitalist in me thinks you can at least pay the price of a happy meal for the work I put in. But then why bother with all of that if nobody wants what is being produced, in the end I guess it’s just about managing my expectations, it’s one of those hobby things, the energy/time required to produce these models needs enthusiasm to drive it along, yes, everything I produce is for my own collection, but I could quite easily put it aside, reach over and grab one of the 500+ kits in my stash and start building, that’s also for my collection.
-
I understand completely - I've done various side gigs over the years and they invariably cause more stress than they are worth. I made the mistake of writing an application to help with my wife's work at a school - which got me roped into writing 2 more applications and because the first was needed quickly and was hacked together I ended up completely rewriting it to be able to implement all the feature requests. So one quick favour has basically eaten 2 years of my hobby time.

Producing and selling anything turns a hobby into a business and suddenly everything changes! Some of us can succeed, but many get an aversion to HAVING to do something. It becomes work. Takes away your choice. Creating and selling the STLs seems like an excellent option. I don't know how much work is involved in keeping up your files on wargaming3D, but I would love to keep collecting your creations! I'm waiting to afford my 3D printer, but I've still managed to collect more STL files than I may ever print. But I still collect them!
I hope you continue, but I understand if you choose not to continue.

Once they are in the shop there’s no more work, just creating them, but it’s a fair amount of work on top of my regular work, and it’s taking up pretty much all my free time, maybe I’ll just slow down.

Hi guys
Getting through my supply wagon train, the driver figures are simple, but don’t look to bad painted up (still WIP) test fitting some figures for the limbers and 88, I’ll need to do head swaps for the 88 crew to side caps or helmets. Need to work on some guns for the limbers now.
STLs can be found in my shop, email Dan.Dunbar@hotmail.com for physical prints.

Hi guys
Preparing to do a first test print of a Pak 38, just awaiting a resin delivery, a collaborative effort between another hobby supplier and myself, theirs is still a ways of, due to the mould making process, they supplied a fairly basic single piece model, which I detailed and split up for mould making ti be released as a metal kit in 1/56 scale, I’m allowed usage at 1/72 or smaller, I do plan on releasing more guns in the future.

Outstanding design, print, build and paint. A real labor of love.

Very nice work all around on the supply train.
Of course, they do look like they just passed muster for a parade being so clean and tidy. :o. Just wait until they make it to the field of battle, oh, will they be a mess! ;)

Superb work! I can't wait to print mine! I sincerely hope you don't burn out! Take it easy! even putting one out every couple of months would still be absolutely welcome! Keep yourself happy. Try not to burn out. I may be being selfish, but you're producing brilliant, equipment, and be very sorry if you stopped. Keep up the outstanding work!

Thanks gents, I’ll be continuing with more variants, for sure.

Hi guys
First test print of the Pak38 looks pretty good, so I’ll be upload to my shop, I’m also nearly finished the If.5 MG AA wagon, hopefully will be test printing that this week. I have also made an agreement with Marcher models in the UK to print my files under license for UK customers, link to their shop below.

Nice work!
I recently made a Pak 38 for a client and two things drove me a bit crazy- the hub shape for the wheel and the complexity of the breach; trying to work out what went where, as there's only so much you can glean from 2d plans. From the looks of this thread you look a lot more experienced than me though so maybe you didn't struggle in the same way!

Hi guys
Next weeks work bench, things are moving slowly for my personal projects, I’m going to finish the If.5 AA Wagon design, then I’m taking some time to work on finishing these for my personal projects, I managed to put some camo on my LWFD artillery batteries, 1 x 120mm and 2 x 76mm, painted some crew for the limbers, managed to start basing the Sdkfz 11s, and basecoated 2 more Hansa- Lloyds, 2 Pz IVs and 2 bridging trucks, and painted the crew for the 88, I need to rustle together the crews for the guns, so a tone of work here.

The If.5 AA wagon is now ready and available, I have included a limber (different to the limbers in the artillery limber pack) a towed trailer, a deployed trailer (with struts down and employed) levelled unmanned guns, elevated unmanned guns and a range of maned guns, horses and drivers are located separately in my shop, printed wagons can be purchased by emailing me at Dan.dunbar@hotmail.com

Looking really great, congratulations! There are not that many Hungarian 5cm Pak pictures known, they were usually towed by Botond trucks, but I have a picture of one on a horse drawn limber (of maybe another cannon). The colour is hard to determine, might or might not be camouflaged, but also they existed in single colour for sure (grey, green?)- most of them were given by the Germans directly on the front.

I’m OK with the 3 tone, I’ve got Botond trucks, so that’s covered.

Hi guys
I was asked by a mate to make a limber set for the 88mm flak, so I upgraded TigerAce1945s heavy flak limber to have better detail at 1/72 or larger, reworked the wheels, added some finer details, it’s now available at my shop as a free download, enjoy.

Hi guys
Some more work on the Hungarian 5cm Pak38 battery, I have found out that these guns were towed by Raba Botond trucks and the Hansa-Lloyd Sdkfz11 were used for field artillery, so have swapped them out and will do an artillery battery soon, need to paint some more details, weather the guns, add some stowage to the trucks and decorate the bases.

Hi guys
This Hungarian 5cm Pak 38 battery is finished, of to the display cabinet, I plan on making this gun in the towed position and packaging it with a horse drawn limber in the future as an STL from my shop, or as a print by emailing me at Dan.dunbar@hotmail.com

Hi guys
On the work bench next week, some Hungarian infantry, support, and light artillery, around half of what I have, some Luftwaffe field Division artillery (slowly getting there) and want to finally finish the Hungarian KV-40 artillery tractors, never seem to finish everything I plan, but ill be happy if I get some of it finished.

Hi guys
Got some work done on my 1/72 Hungarian infantry, these are all converted from Simon Soldiers Germans, still a bit to do, hoping to get these done this week, if I do it’ll be a win.

Very nice!. I wish someone would produce some decent pre-war/early war Hungarians in 28mm. I have a Czechoslovak force that would love some more opponents.

Hi guys
Have finished this lot of Hungarian infantry, took the opportunity to take some group shot of my Hungarian force so far, next I need to print some medium artillery, paint some Krupp Protze gun tractors, and paint the other half of the infantry, then some armoured assets.

All but finished this battery, couple of little details I need to finish, and I could do more weathering on the guns, I’ve also completed the Daimler Benz G5 with a base.

Hi guys
First test print of the Mercedes Benz L 4500 truck, I plan on doing a maultier, armoured cab, 37mm and 20mm AA versions, there’s a few little faults I’ll need to fix before it’s ready.

Hi guys
Only a small updated today, calling the Sdkfz 8 DB9 88 done, it is a diecast model from PMA, bought for me as a birthday present, it has the original paint job, just re painted the tracks and some details, weathered and added crew and base, the If.5 MG cart is basically done, haven’t decided on a driver, thinking of using this Simons soldier figure.

Those look amazing! :-* :-*
I do feel a bit sorry for the chap in the cart, he must be feeling decidedly inadequate with that monster in front of him. Japanese field cars aside, there are few military machines one can describe as 'cute' but I reckon that AAMG set up is a candidate.

Hi guys
Next up on the work bench, 3 Krupps for the Hungarians, a couple of 251s and a radio truck for the Germans and some French vehicles/guns, some of these French vehicles have been on the shelf for a long time, so will be good to get them finished.

Hi guys
Some slow progress on this batch, I’ve been spending a lot of time on a new business idea, so haven’t had a lot of hobby time lately, but got the base coats down and a pin wash.

Hi guys
Received these 2 books from Huns on Wheels Facebook page, sent from Hungary, packed full of pictures and info, lots of OOB diagrams, going to come in handy building my Hungarian forces, highly recommend these books for anyone interested in WWII Hungarians.

Great looking books, and rest of the thread, will have to look out for them when my attention wanders back to WWII.

Hi guys
I have been busy designing and printing a batch of early war tanks, they are “upgrades” of the Bergmann and Windham Graves sculpts, which among others I either have obtained or in the process of obtaining production rights, I love these designers, they did a great job, however their sculpts are designed for 1/100 printing, and are sometimes missing detail, or have detail designed to be easily seen at 1/100 which is too chunky at larger scales. My plan will be to eventually offer all of their WWII designs, plus my own, as pre painted models in 1/100 (15mm) 1/72 and 28mm, in 2 qualities, table top and museum, (I was going to also do unpainted, but I’m concerned that I’ll need to stock even more inventory) the picture of painted tanks will be the table top standard, basic spray job, tracks/wheels/tools painted, the premium will have decals, crews, stowage and weathering and maybe an option base, there is a fair bit of work in each vehicle, so I’m thinking of releasing them 5-6 vehicles at a time, by period, nation and vehicle type starting with the Polish and French campaigns, tanks, then Armoured cars, soft skins, AT guns and artillery. Sourcing packaging and a website as well, this will still be a long way off, I’m averaging 1 vehicle type per week to redesign and do a test print in each scale.
Regarding scale, I’m not keen on stocking 1/100, 1/76, 1/72, 1/56 and 1/48, what do people prefer? 1/76 or 1/72 (my preference) and 1/56 (my preference) or 1/48? Vehicles shown are 1/100, 1/72, and 1/56.

Your work is fantastic and I wish you the very best of luck! For my part, my WWII collection is 28mm/1/56 but I do have some 1/48 vehicles because the 1/56 producers really gouge the US gamers and a 1/48 Tamiya is way less expensive and I can get two for the price of one.
I have no idea what a good price per piece would be. Too low and you'll burn yourself out. Too high and people can't afford your models.
My preference is lower price, unpainted, but I'm sure there are gamers who can afford to have their collection painted for them.
My gaming preference is early war so Dutch, Polish, French, BEF, German etc. are my choice.
I especially love the less "popular" pieces. Ambulances, tow vehicles, limbers, field kitchens, tents all the vital equipment that isn't sexy like Jagdpanthers or ubiquitous like sdkfz 251s.
BTW, I really LOVE your STLs and would LOVE to see more of them on https://www.wargaming3d.com/ (https://www.wargaming3d.com/)
Whatever you choose, I'll be happy to continue to support you.

My plan is to add all those less sexy things to the list, but the wargaming 3D ship isn’t a success, I sell very few STL when I’m pushing it down everyone’s throats, but have only sold one since I stopped posting about it a couple weeks ago, I’m not really keen on keeping something up that people have no interest in, not just financially, it just feels like a waste of time and effort, I’ve got an STL I’ve recently finished and I’m not sure I can muster up the care factor to upload it to the shop, may just add it to the new business when I get to soft skins. I have a few vocal 1/48 fans, but not many supporting 1/56, I wonder if becuase they are already catered for they don’t need to speak up? Do you prefer 1/56 or 1/48, if you could click you fingers and all your models were the same scale what would it be?
-
This is great news, PM sent
-

1/48 looks better than 1/56 to me, but if I had my druthers 1/50 would be the sweet spot.
-
I'm a fan of 1/56 myself, but as you say there's already some competition there. Can be a tough choice - if it were easy everyone would have already picked one scale!

Agree 1/50 looks perfect in scale with regards to bolt action minis

Hi guys
Added some decals, chipping, pin washes, and a dry brush, next stage will be some weathering, then some crews for the guns and halftracks and some bases.

Hi guys
Have added an early Pz III to the inventory, the 3 crew will be offered with premium quality option, not sure about the table top quality option yet, I have all turret hatches open, commanders hatch open and all hatches closed options, I could just provide them randomly, or choose 1 option to stock, if I only chose 1 it would probably be with the commanders hatch open, working on a Pz IV D at the moment, still lots of work before I’m able to sell anything.

Hi guys
Working on this gun/limber set as a future release, need to tinker with it, there are some very delicate parts, not for handling, as fingers can’t get to the delicate parts, but for removal from the supports in post production, the handwheels and struts in the middle of trails sometimes break away during the process, but otherwise I’m pretty happy with it, it’s a reworking of the Bergmann file, which I will produce in 1/72 and 1/56 under license.
Now for my question, I have also made the rubber tyre version, and I’d like to make 2 sets, one towed by a Krupp, the other by the Sdkfz 10 as pictured, does anyone know the designation name/number of the limber in the picture? And does anyone have any better pictures of that limber? It looks a little like the the If.5 MG Wagon limber, which I have already made, but without the seating for crew, but I’m not sure, any help would be appreciated.

Nice work
The limber looks very much like the WWI one - which wouldn’t be too surprising. But I don’t know how they were ID’d

Hi guys
Working on another set, this time a towed Pak38, adding some mounted gunners with this set, those will come in any horse drawn artillery set I do, I’ve also made a towed Pak38 with the tow wheel attached in the tow position and a version without the tow wheel.

Hi Freddy
Are you able to send me links of your Hungarian limber pages, actually anything WWII Hungarian you have, especially horse drawn and soft skin vehicles?
I post a walkaround every Sunday on my blog, these were made by me in various museums around here :) Most of my pics are Warsaw pact tech, I have a full list with links:
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/11/334-fenykepgyujtemenyek-listaja.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/11/334-fenykepgyujtemenyek-listaja.html)
Pre-1945 Hungarian tech is hard to reach as it was mostly destroyed in the war or immediately after it (they were needed for the rebuilding of the country- softskin vehicle were pushed to death in a few years of the intense work, tanks were melted for their good quality steel). The few surviving pieces are either ww1 relics already in museums during ww2 or those which were kept in army service after the war. Also there are a few surviving examples in the Russian tank museum in Kubinka, but that was a bit hard to reach even before the curent events. This is a really bad situation of the Hungarian modeling community as even the common vehicles like the KV40 are only to be reconstructed based on bad quality archive photos.
An old cart- two sets of pics, open-air exhibition is not the best for this, but the second one also has size data. This is the standard Hungarian peasant cart, army also used it in large quantities from pre-ww1 times to the early 50s. In ww2 they were painted green, some even had a machine gun mount.

Limber for smaller cannons, used for 37mm Pak36 and 75mm Skoda mountain cannon too.
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/01/61-keceli-lovegmozdony-3.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/01/61-keceli-lovegmozdony-3.html)
Limber for the 10cm M14 cannon. used in both wws.
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/01/60-keceli-lovegmozdony-2.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/01/60-keceli-lovegmozdony-2.html)
10,5cm 40M howitzer, with limber. The howitzer only has the cart piece, a similar one was used for the burial of József Antall (the first freely elected Hungarial prime Minister after the communism, who died during his term in 1993), thats why it has that box instead of the actual cannon. The cannon was developed because Hungary did not get the license to manufacture Görings, later used in the Zríny assault gun.

The Göring howitzers, the older type was towed by purpose built SdKfz11s, the later one (also kept in postwar service) had the limber.

5/8M 8cm field cannon. Extensively used in both wws, it kinda sucked in the second, but you fight with the weapons you have :)
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/03/116-58m-8cm-tabori-agyu-kecel-2011.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/03/116-58m-8cm-tabori-agyu-kecel-2011.html)
38M 37mm Skoda AT gun. Hungaran Army used a lot of similar small AT guns to bolster its lack of AT capabilities, hastily purchased from the Germans (who took them from the defeated European armies) or handed over by Polish refugees*
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2022/10/519-37mm-38m-skoda-pct-agyu-kecel-2022.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2022/10/519-37mm-38m-skoda-pct-agyu-kecel-2022.html)
*Hungary only entered the war in 1941 and has an unique friendship with Poland dating back to the 14th century, so after the invasion of Poland, fleeing soldiers of the defeated army were welcome in Hungary. Sometimes complete units crossed the border with all their equipment- these were handed over to the Hungarians and pressed into service here, so in general, most of the common Polish softskins can painted in Hungarian colours. Like this Polski Fiat 508/514 AA car I built :)
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/03/114-magyar-kiralyi-technical.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/03/114-magyar-kiralyi-technical.html)
All the informations about this vehicle being in Hungarian service is two photos, but this is quite common for the ww2 Hungarian softskin topic. In general, everything was used. Civilian vehicles were conscripted, Polish trucks and cars, captured Russian GAZ and Zis trucks- everything.

I post a walkaround every Sunday on my blog, these were made by me in various museums around here :) Most of my pics are Warsaw pact tech, I have a full list with links:
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/11/334-fenykepgyujtemenyek-listaja.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/11/334-fenykepgyujtemenyek-listaja.html)
Pre-1945 Hungarian tech is hard to reach as it was mostly destroyed in the war or immediately after it (they were needed for the rebuilding of the country- softskin vehicle were pushed to death in a few years of the intense work, tanks were melted for their good quality steel). The few surviving pieces are either ww1 relics already in museums during ww2 or those which were kept in army service after the war. Also there are a few surviving examples in the Russian tank museum in Kubinka, but that was a bit hard to reach even before the curent events. This is a really bad situation of the Hungarian modeling community as even the common vehicles like the KV40 are only to be reconstructed based on bad quality archive photos.
An old cart- two sets of pics, open-air exhibition is not the best for this, but the second one also has size data. This is the standard Hungarian peasant cart, army also used it in large quantities from pre-ww1 times to the early 50s. In ww2 they were painted green, some even had a machine gun mount.

Limber for smaller cannons, used for 37mm Pak36 and 75mm Skoda mountain cannon too.

Limber for the 10cm M14 cannon. used in both wws.
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/01/60-keceli-lovegmozdony-2.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/01/60-keceli-lovegmozdony-2.html)
10,5cm 40M howitzer, with limber. The howitzer only has the cart piece, a similar one was used for the burial of József Antall (the first freely elected Hungarial prime Minister after the communism, who died during his term in 1993), thats why it has that box instead of the actual cannon. The cannon was developed because Hungary did not get the license to manufacture Görings, later used in the Zríny assault gun.

The Göring howitzers, the older type was towed by purpose built SdKfz11s, the later one (also kept in postwar service) had the limber.

5/8M 8cm field cannon. Extensively used in both wws, it kinda sucked in the second, but you fight with the weapons you have :)
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/03/116-58m-8cm-tabori-agyu-kecel-2011.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2021/03/116-58m-8cm-tabori-agyu-kecel-2011.html)
38M 37mm Skoda AT gun. Hungaran Army used a lot of similar small AT guns to bolster its lack of AT capabilities, hastily purchased from the Germans (who took them from the defeated European armies) or handed over by Polish refugees*
https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2022/10/519-37mm-38m-skoda-pct-agyu-kecel-2022.html (https://makettekeswg.blogspot.com/2022/10/519-37mm-38m-skoda-pct-agyu-kecel-2022.html)
*Hungary only entered the war in 1941 and has an unique friendship with Poland dating back to the 14th century, so after the invasion of Poland, fleeing soldiers of the defeated army were welcome in Hungary. Sometimes complete units crossed the border with all their equipment- these were handed over to the Hungarians and pressed into service here, so in general, most of the common Polish softskins can painted in Hungarian colours. Like this Polski Fiat 508/514 AA car I built :)

Wow Freddy, your the man, I have been searching for Hungarian limber pics for a long time, with no luck, lots of nice stuff there, one day when I have time I will make some of these as 3D models, thank you very much.

Cheers mate, I’ll check out that forum, I love my Hungarian project, so I’m very willing to make all these limbers and soft skins (armours pretty well covered) it’s really just a time thing, not enough of it.

Hi guys
Some WWII stuff finished on commission, some BEF tanks, they are 3D prints, not sure where from as they were not printed by myself, some Zvezda German MCs which I slightly converted, some Dak MCs and some Simon Soldiers French.

Hi guys
First post of the year for me, I’ve been asked to help someone recreate the 15th PzDiv in North Africa through 3D printing, he wants to do certain sub units 1:1 in 1/72, so I have started on the light cars, 10x Kubelwagens and 20x Kfz1s, doing Kfz4s and 2s next, I’m providing them in a basic sand base coat, for further detailed painting later, I’m imagining this will be a long running project.

Looks good!
1:1 sounds like a lot of vehicles. I can remember doing Cold War armoured battalions at 1:1 but that was in 6mm and didn't require the MCG as a venue when we wanted a game.

In fairness it’s not the whole Div, it’ll be the 8th Pz Regt, Pz Gren regt and supporting AT, AA units etc, still a lot of vehicles though.

8x Kfz 4s for the 15th Pz Div project, the MG mount is just lose in the back at the moment.

All your work looks excellent but I have to ask, and maybe the answer is buried somewhere deep in this thread, but I could not find it: your output volume is so vast, are you trying to recreate the entire 15th Panzer Division perhaps?

I have a customer who is recreating parts of the 15th Pz Div 1:1, it won’t be the whole Div, for instance he is doing the whole 8th Pz regt, and other sub/supporting units

Hi guys
On the personal workbench this week, some Kfz1 variants, a Kfz 1, Kfz 2 radio car, Kfz 2 telephone car and a Kfz 4 AA car, as well as some early MB L 4500 pioneer bridging trucks with their seperate loads, as well as their crews.

Quite impressive! 8)

They look great. I really wish some 3d company would do some decent seated crew for vehicles though.

I have this feeling that you turn out more vehicles in a given week than the real Alkett, Horch, Hanomag etc, did during the war. Very impressive.

Yes, they are in short supply, there is this set

Yeah, weird one that. Early weapons, but no jack boots.
And I play in 28mm and the 15mm don't look like they would scale up too well.
No drivers though.. in various types of kit. Definite gap in the market.

Yeah, that set doesn’t even scale up to 1/72 very well.

Hi guys
Got some work done on this lot, not finished yet though, the Sdkfz 254 is a lovely model, the file is 1/56 but shrinks down to 1/72 with no issues, I have no affiliation with this sculptor and paid full price, but it’s worthy of a shout out, the file can be found here Sdkfz 254 , the Kfz 1 is also a nice model, the basic Kfz 1 can be found here Kfz 1 unfortunately the variants, Kfz 2 radio car and 4 AA car were my own conversion and the files are not available. The Kfz 15 file was available on thingyverse and cults but seems to have disappeared, I did some improvements to that file, and also made a Kfz 15 radio car version. The MB L 4500 trucks are my own and will be released one day soon when I find some time.

Hi guys
Finished up a 1/72 North African campaign commission, all vehicles are 3D prints, figures are AB, I’m just waiting for some Dak crew to turn up to add to the vehicles, otherwise done, all markings except the balkenkreuz on the Sdkfz 254 are hand painted.

Hi guys
The excellent AB D.a.k crew arrived from Eureka miniatures for these 3D printed cars, so I painted them up and now they are ready to be shipped off to their new home.

Hi guys
We are well into 2024 and I have been so busy I haven’t even thought about hobby plans for this year, at the end of 2022 I pledged that I would stick to 1/72 WWII for all of 2023, and I failed, I lasted 8 month before being lured away by other genres and scales, I had planned on doing the full year, then moving onto another genre for a year, however, I still have so much to do, and I really enjoy 1/72 WWII, so I’m committing myself to another full year, last year I made good progress on my Hungarians, 1940s French and Luftwaffe field Div, this year I will concentrate on the 21st Pz Div, and 1940 BEF, as well as making a start on Russian Naval infantry and assault engineers.
I have already printed some of the vehicles for the 21st, but I did that before I taught myself CAD, so the detail is quite chunky on some of these vehicle, I’m not going to continue with the chunky detail, so my choices are re design the STL files and start over, or physically remove the detail and re detail the old fashioned way, I think I will do both, try and save these vehicles and future prints will be updated.
I’m going to start by doing elements of kampfgruppe von luck, firstly his HQ, which will have himself, an MC recon element, a Pak 38, and a pioneer section, then I’ll work on PzGren regt 125, Pz Aufk-Abt 21, Pz Regt 22, Storm-Abt 200 as well as some AT, AA and pioneer element.

Hi guys
Have put these 3 Unic P107 gun tractors and Pak 38s together for my 21st Pz Div project, the towed AT guns in the AT units were Pak 43/41s, but various regimental HQs had Pak 38s attached, I probably only need 2 of these, but I have the models to do 3, so I’ll do 3. The only improvement I did on the P107s was replace the door handles, remove the unconvincing shovels and at a folded down windscreen, stowage, and crew. The Pak 38s are my own design, I have these 3 in the towed position spare, I’ll print a couple of deployed 38s as well. I’ll need some more P107s to tow the Pak 43/41s but I’ll improve the file a little before printing.

Always great to see your projects developing, quality and quantity going together, and all the conversions.. I was looking forward to see that on the 21st Pz Div “resurrected”, as I was also planning something similar (on a much more modest scale) for KG von Luck..indeed, I bought some 3D printed P-107 halftracks but yours look better, i.e. more realistic, as the armour is a bit thinner than that on the models that I got.
on another note: I see figures in greatcoats (and goggles, recon troops?), are they part of the same 21st PzDiv project?

Yes, Von Lucks HQ has a MC recon detachment attached to it.

Hi guys
I had these 3 Laffly s20tls in my French stash, they are Windham Graves sculpts, pretty nice to, found free on Thingyverse, I love the laffly in all its various configurations, so I thought I would press them into service for my 21st Pz Div motorised PzGren battalion, I think Citroen trucks were more likely, but Lafflys are a possibility, so I’ll go with it, I’ll do some Citroens as well, my plan is to make a few groups of vehicle then have a mass airbrushing session, I’m often to lazy to break out the airbrush, I shouldn’t be because it usually does a good job, next group of vehicles will be pioneer halftracks for the pioneer battalion and Von Lucks HQs pioneer detachment.

Hi guys
I needed 3 x Kfz 76s for the Dak project, don’t worry, I didn’t know what a Kfz 76 was either, even though I am a former artilleryman, it was a German truck mounted artillery observation/range finding vehicle, it was mounted on a couple of very similar truck chassis, one of which was the einheitsdiesel, I found the base model file on thingiverse but the file is basically unprintable as is, hollow with very thin walls, so it took a bit of work to make it printable, I then converted the truck into a Kfz 76.

Hi guys
Working on panzer pioneer battalion 220, imbedded in the 21st Pz Div, I’m using a mix of figures, mostly AB and Simon Soldiers.
I have also added the Kfz 76 file and bridging pioneer loads as a freebies on my Wargaming3D store as well as the MB L4500 truck to carry the bridging loads.

I am checking this topic with some regularity :) Nice work on the BEF tanks too!

Your output is fantastic, you make the rest of us look lazy ;)

Very nice. They just need gas detection patches, which I presume you'll be adding with tactical markings.
-
Are these mantillas in 28mm? Love the painting and weathering, fabulous as per your norm :)

Hi guys
Next up for the 21st Pz Div project I’m working on Pak 43/41s for PzJager battalion 200, I have to re do the muzzle break as a seperate part as it didn’t print well, I found this file for sale on Cults3D, but disappointingly it isn’t printable, and took quite some work to get a good print., I had to thicken all the parts and join them all together as everything came as individual parts down to the bolts, it also only came in the towed position, so I had to re arrange all the individual parts into the deployed mode, I think the designer intended it to be printed at 1/35, but would still require work to get it to print, I’m not going to post a link, as I don’t recommend anyone buy the file, I designed the ammo boxes myself.
Figures are mostly Simon Soldiers with some AB

I am pretty familiar with 1/35 offerings in this topic, but never heard of anyone doing complete 3d cannons. Most go for printing parts, for easier handling.

I’m only assuming it’s 1/35, as the parts are to thin to print smaller, the designer only has a half dozen files, and there no mention of scale in the description, the actual file was just a tad bigger than 1/72, it’s the reason I have to re do the muzzle break, I missed fixing that the first time and it printed wafer thin. Either that, or he just doesn’t know what he is doing, which is more likely, anyway, not for the faint hearted, or someone who has no CAD knowledge.

Hi guys
I’ve printed up some more vehicles and guns for my 21st Pz Div project, a beautiful Pz III E Bef.Wg, the model is from Counlane models, very impressed with this model, I bought 3 other Pz IIIs as well, a G, J and L, a beobachtungspanzer lorraine, the is a Bergmann file I have refined the detail on, and some K18 guns from TigerAce on thingyverse, I added some detail on the trails to those as well, and I also printed some replacement muzzle brakes for my Pak 43/41

Hi guys
The Pz III E Bef.Wgs undercoated, one for my 21st PD project, the other for the Dak project, I’ll be doing 2 more in the future, 1 in panzer grey, for my 24th PD leaping horseman project, and a winter one, can’t understate how impressed I am with this file, I’ll be breaking out the airbrush tomorrow.

Hi guys
I have been called many things in my life, a good airbrushed is not one of them, I really should be, I have airbrushed a lot of vehicles, but I don’t have a dedicated space for the airbrush, so setting up and packing down is a chore, therefore I only airbrush when I have a large batch, like any skill, you need to do it regularly to be good at it, so my quality suffers, anyway, I managed to get this batch of my 21st PD vehicles (about half of what I have) done, the vehicles without camo will have their camo hand painted as they will have hard edge schemes, and I couldn’t be bothered with masking, also those vehicles are the ones I have reference pictures of, the vehicles/guns with camo applied I have no specific 21st PD reference pics for, so just gave them appropriate camo schemes. From here, after adding the hard edged camo I’ll paint some details and give them all pin washes.

Blimey loads of airbrushing on the bench Dan!

Coming nicely together!

Your collection keeps getting better and better!

Great army, really looking forward to the next stages. What make are the (non-AB) seated figures in the Lafflys? also 3D printed?

Hi guys
Working on the camo jobs of the Lorraine based vehicles for the 21st PD, these will all have crew added eventually. All are 3D prints except the gun less version, it is the RPM kit.

Hi guys
I’m printing the Panzers for the 1/72 Dak project, we have a mix of Pz III G, J and Ls, and some Pz IV F1s, I’ll be adding some Pz IV F2s soon, whilst I was at this I decided to make a start on my own Winter Heer project, which I will make units for that will cover 1941-44, I started with these 3 Pz IIIs, 2x Ls and a J (although, one of the Ls has a J turret just as a place holder until I print another L turret) with winterketten tracks, I’ve always wanted to do some winter tracked tanks but for whatever reason I have never bought any aftermarket tracks for that, these lovely winterketten tracks come with Counlane models Pz III L STL, and I just had to give them a go, and they turned out lovely, crew figures are AB and are just lose in the turret at the moment. I hate to interrupt the progress on my 21st Pz Div project, but I might just have to finish these 3 off first.
I have opened various hatches on the Dak panzers, unfortunately this was not an option that came with the Counlane files, only an open commanders hatch is an option, so if you plan on having other hatches open you’ll need to do that in your favourite CAD software.

Great, even a winter project, you manage to carry on so many projects and in such a way, amazing.
Looking forward to see the winter Panzer painted!

Thanks guys

Hi guys
Prepping some more 21st PD vehicles, some Sdkfz 10/4 from wargame3D, a H39 Artillery Observers vehicle, which is a Bergman file that I updated and detailed for 1/72, and a couple of 7.5cm Pak 40 H39, can’t remember who’s they are, I also made some crew up for some of the other SPs. I’ve given them a Tamiya dark yellow rattle can undercoat, I will finish the paint job with an airbrush. Crews are a mix of Simons Soldiers, ABs, battlefield, 3D printed, and PSC and Airfix plastic, with a few head swaps thrown in here and there, I’ll be paint some of them in these pretty cool camo vests

Hi guys
Basing vehicles for me is a necessary evil, vehicles without bases look naked to me, however I find them tedious to do, so they often get left, sometime for a very long time, so I decided to do a big basing session over the resurrection weekend, I also took the opportunity to base some of the non 21st PD vehicles I have been working on recently, I haven’t glued the vehicles down yet as I still have a fair bet of painting and weathering to do, will do the flocking once the vehicles are finished and glued in place.
I also printed out a couple of Unic P107 flak 38 vehicles, they are Bergmann prints which I have replaced the running gear, rivets, gun and other details.

Great progress, I really like the cannons.

They look very impressive! I don't base vehicles myself, although I do see the appeal.
How do you find AB, Simon's Soldiers, Battlefield, PSC and Airfix figures go together?

They mix OK, people are all different sizes, doesn’t worry me to much.

Yee gads, as a former artillerymen I must advise they are guns, not cannons, you’d find cannons on an 17th century sailing ship 😀

Sorry, in my native language the distinction between cannon-howitzer-mortar is based on calibre/barrel length ratio, has nothing to do with historical age :)

Freddy, it took me years to figure out they were different things lol

Well the Yanks call their gunners 'cannon cockers'. The rest of the English speaking world just calls 'em 'drop shorts'.
The Tin Tanks did produce a rather large cannon though. Not really suited for aiming at pirates or wooden warships.

Nice bit of basing btw.

I’m at the stage of this 21st PD project where I want to get something finished, otherwise I risk stalling, so I will break the project down to smaller parts and finish them off one at a time, I’m starting with the 220th Pz pioneer battalion, I still have some details to paint on the figures, and some more weathering on the half tracks, then I need to finish off the bases.
There was only 1 armoured half track per company, so I need to add some unarmoured pioneer vehicles to finish the unit, but for now I will just finish painting this lot and move to the next sub unit.

Hi guys
I’ve had a German winter project planned for many years, and have recently kicked it off when I obtained a file for winterketten tracks, so my thoughts turned to figures. I have a fair few plastic figs for the project, and some metals, but I have been watching some of the figures Propylene Foliescu of just some miniatures has been producing, and thought they looked great, he has files for 15mm and 28mm winter Germans, so I grabbed both scales and adjusted them accordingly for 1/72, here’s where I mention I don’t have any link with Propylene, except being on some of the same forums, and I paid full price for his files.
Both scales work well at 1/72, the 28mm files are not fragile and whilst the 15mm files are chunkier, I think they work pretty well as wargaming figure, there are also some March to hell figures I printed as a test in this lot, they are far to chunky at 1/72, but I’ll paint them anyway to see how they turn out, I plan on using March to hell figures for 6 or 10mm WWII at some stage, I think 6mm is their best use, they should be chunky and strong enough to work well. There’s also some AB figures in this lot, brilliant figures, they are quite large though.
I usually undercoat my figures black but thought a grey undercoat would be better for this project, it also helps to show the details better.
The project will not cover any particular unit, but will cover mostly Heer from 1942 to 45 on the Eastern front, so I’ll use a range of early, mid and late war vehicles and figures.
I have taken some comparison pics with Simon soldiers, FAA and AB figures, obviously you can adjust the size of the figures when you print them, I aimed for about 24mm foot to top of the head.

There is a cheaper better option, Australian 5c, it’s worth about 3c US.

Which, disturbingly, is still cheaper than buying steel washers from Bunnings. :-[

Yep, I haven’t found a cheaper washer option, a hundred bases for $5 is pretty cheap I think.

Hi guys
Prepping some models for another batch of this western desert commission, (pics of the last finished batch) A-9s, A-10s, A-13s and Matildas, the A-13s and Matildas are S-models, (luckily constructed by the owner) the A-9s and 10s are 3D printed, also a batch of Italians, mostly FAA I believe, customer wanted 1 converted to a flamethrower, and another to be a medic.

Hi guys
Panzer Pionier Abt 220, 21st PD finished, well what I had on the work bench is finished, I will be adding a few soft skin vehicles to the unit, the unit was commanded by Hauptmann Hoegel, unfortunately I can’t find any pics of this man, so I’ve just painted a generic officer to lead the unit, 1 of these Sturm Pionier sections will be attached to Von Lucks HQ when I make that, next I’ll finish the Pak 43/41s of panzerjager Abt 200.

Great stuff!
Those tows look very weedy for those big AT guns!

They do, but under French usage, they also towed heavy artillery, so they must have had some grunt, I wouldn’t have liked using them as a gunner, not much room in the back.

You don’t muck about do you? lol
It’d take me forever to crack on with all that- hats off to you ;)

Hi guys
10cm K18 Guns and Laffly S35t artillery tractors for the panzer artillery regiment 155, 21st PD finished, guns and trucks are 3D printed, crews are a mix of AB and Simon’s Soldiers, up next a couple of 15cm sFH 13 auf Lorraines and Artillery observer vehicles, after that I will finish off a few odds and ends, but I’m starting to think about what combat element I want to start next, what do you think I should do? tanks (PzIII/IVs) of the 1st Abt of the 22nd Pz regt, Sdkfz 250 half tracks of the Pz recon Abt 21, or the infantry of 2nd Abt (motorised) of the 125 Pz Gren Regt?

Hi guys
2 x 15cm sFH Lorraine SPGs and 2 x Lorraine artillery observer vehicles of the 155 Pz artillery regt finished, these guns will be attached to the 192nd mechanised Pz Grenadier battalion.
I have decided to do the Panzers of the 22nd Panzer regt next, despite being well know as a 3D printer, I have a background as a plastic modeller and have quite a large stash of 1/72 kits, not sure how many exactly, but it would have to be 600+, a lot of really nice kits, and it’s a shame to leave them unbuilt, so I have decided to use plastics for these Pz IVs, after spending an hour or so going through the stash I’ve found 4 x Revell Pz IVHs and a Hasegawa Pz IVH unbuilt, and these 5 shelf queens, 2 x Italeri Hs, 2 x PSC Hs and a PSC D/C, I had forgotten about these 5 shelf queens, built maybe 15 years ago, I need 9 x Pz IVHs and a Pz IIIL (I have a built one ready to go) for my plans, so it’s actually a perfect number, I was going to do the vehicles of the 1st company, 1st battalion, however the turret numbers of the shelf queens are for the 3rd and 5th company. The turret numbers should also be yellow, also I need to replace the lost commanders hatches on the Italeri kits, and add turret skirts to the PSC kits, so I’m left with the question do I try to save the paint jobs of these, or strip them and start over? I quite like the paint jobs they have, especially the PSC kits, but they will look weird if I make turret skirts and paint those separately, then there’s the Pz IV D/C, I’ve seen pics of a Pz IVC attributed to the 21st, I don’t know to much about that tank, and will have to research it, but it had a dark yellow and green camo scheme, so I’d have to repaint that one, I do have a couple of unbuilt mirage Pz IVDs I could use if I really want to add a short barrelled Pz IV, I’m also considering 3D printing the running gear for the Pz IVHs, building the running gear is the most time consuming part of a tank, so it may be a good compromise, and the details of the STL I have are quite nice and a big step up from the PSC tracks, lastly, there is a misconception that the 21st used French tanks during the battle of D-Day, but the 21st had been refitted with Pz IVs by D-Day, however, for interest and fun purposes I will be adding a couple of French tanks, maybe just an RPM H39 and a Somua S35 which I have plenty of.
