Wow.  Some more great pieces.  Love the 75mm Portee.  :-* :-* :-*  I see what you mean about the poor standard of the Lancia but your finished piece is wonderful.

They look superb! Chapeau!  :D And a very creative use of those Bolt Action unit cards for the benches on the Lancia.  lol

More great stuff!  And for being the worse resin kit you've ever had, the Lancia turned out just fine...

WW2 by tancrede, eh? That I have to see. :) And it didn't disappoint.

.) great choice of forces
.) interesting theatre of war
.) Lovely conversions and painting. Love the reddish shading/dust on the French vehicles. I have my own struggle with 1/56th scaled vehicles with 28mm infantry, but I have to say that I got a bit interested again when Rubicon announced their M13/40 kit a while ago. And I don't even have Italians in 28mm!

Anyway, great job, I'm looking forward to seeing more. Which rules are you playing with those figures?

Thanks, guys.


@Sigur :
I'm running with 1/56 vehicles, as it's the way it's played in my gaming club. But for modern warfare, I'm using 1/50 vehicles, and it's far better.

This Bir Hakeim project is for Bolt Action.
