Some pre-fab and home-made terrain for my Russian village.

A 15mm church from Things from the Basement (it's okay, not amazing, but came out looking fine!)


Some scratch built fenced yards (I'll be making a few more to fill out the town)




And some ever exciting telephone/telegraph poles...

Adding to the German opfor.  A Jagdpanther (my favourite German AFV) and a bunch of random stuff (engineers, mortars, radio teams, HQ's, kubelwagens).




It looks really yellow in this pic...but you can see from the pic above it's not.

After pushing back the Germans in yesterday's game...we kept the table (and most of the destroyed vehicle hulks!) and the Germans launched a counter-attack.  The Soviet survivors from the first game were dug in, waiting for reinforcements.

The town of Pepyanguska


A Pz. 222 shelling the church from distance with its autocannon.


The Germans perform a pincer attack - hitting the town from both directions.


The destroyed KV-2 from yesterdays game was repaired enough to operate the turret and it helped fend off the German armour.


While the Germans suffered egregious casualties, the arrival of several Stukas helped save the day and the numerically superior Soviet force withdrew under heavy bombing.

Been a while, but some updates.

When I began my 15mm BG project I started my initial Soviets with several Zvezda kits.  They all featured slightly different paint schemes, and some slapdash decals, etc.  I put this lot up for sale on eBay and luckily no one picked it up (for a steal even!) :D  So...out came the ultrasonic cleaner and alcohol.  I stripped many of these down, re-gunned them, swapped out some turrets, added stowage, added some battle damage, and then repainted/re-decal'ed the lot.  I still have a few more on the way.

I dont consider an elephant a “ small gap”! Lol

Good work though.

Sure it is...any vehicle in 15mm is a small gap proposition!
