I took a rather uninspiring die-cast from eBay and gave it a quick re-paint. It's not period correct, but it'll pass as air support.

Period-correct or not, it looks good to me!

Thanks, been after a Stuka which wasn't $30+ for a while..sadly this die-cast was pretty underwhelming when I got it (but it wassss cheap). I just winged the paint job without bothering to research it,

Trying to trim down the pile of 15mm plastic I've acquired recently. I knocked out some of the new Zvezda T-70's. Not a fan of the kit (way too 'true scale' and thus super tiny pieces...if you're all thumbs this kit will be a nightmare). However, done and painted, I'm happy enough. I love T-70's.

Looking great sir! I do like some of the zvesda kits but they can be fragile (the Opel Blitz’s kits suspension comes to mind) in some places.

Did you see the news about Battlegroup?

Yeah, some of the Zvezda kits lately have been really good, but the old BA-10 was something like 26 pieces...an absolute travesty for a 15mm kit. It's the gold standard of garbage/frustration for building 15mm.

I saw the BG news, but honestly I don't play this game enough to be excited, etc. I also won't be playing a "different scale" of WW2 (as they mentioned a NORTHAG-style alternate version). I enjoy painting up 15mm WW2 and every now and then I get a game in, but my whole BG group disappeared as usual.

The other guys I used to play with are 40K players and they abandond projects regularly.

Cute little tanks you did there.

Nice job!

Great looking project

I haven't painted much recently - almost exclusively terrain and working on actually finishing up some games. However...15mm is a nice palette cleanser when I don't want to paint anything, but can whip out some simple vehicles in about an hour.

Zvezda SU-152 pair. (One is new, one is my old one that I stripped to repaint)

CapnJim · « **Reply #114 on:** July 02, 2023, 10:15:22 PM »

Those SU-152s look good!

Thanks Cap, I keep going back to 15mm as the palette cleanser. I have acquired a rather absurd collection at this point, and it's still growing. I'd say...65-70% of the models I own and have painted have never seen the table in anger. Too bad, but at least I'll have them on hand if I ever trick anyone into playing BG.

May have to start running solo-games myself or something.

To balance out the Soviet heavy armour I repainted my old Elefant and painted a partner for it.

ohhh they look Lovely

Let's keep the silliness rolling: a Zvezda Jagdtiger. Another German monster that will likely never see the table - short of designing a scenario around it. I love these little $3.50 kits, and it's fun to get to do up all the weird German stuff.

CapnJim · « **Reply #119 on:** July 17, 2023, 02:42:35 AM »

Those things sure look good, too!
