Captain Blood's Western Desert: P.125 - SdKfz10 half-track with 2cm Flak 30

[Captain Blood]

Hey, the Crusader and the Tiger were indeed proper kits I'll have you know! 
Panzer II finished - just need to take a few pics...

[Captain Blood]

Here we are then... A cheeky little Panzer II.

The Panzer II was one of the first Tamiya kits I built roundabout, oooh - 35 years ago 

Nice to revisit it with this Blitzkrieg Models 1/56 resin model.

This time I used the Queeg method of fairly roughly stippling on the acrylic paint over the steel grey enamel undercoat, so you have some more worn looking areas before you even start in on the weathering.
Tank commander will be added in due course...











Next up, the Perry Steyr 1500 personnel carrier 

[Queeg]

That's a superb finish Richard!  Really nice progress on the AFV painting I must say .....

cheers

Very good.

[Andym]

Great stuff!

Is that you off of doing the stowage these days?

[tomrommel1]

Stunning

When can I visit to play?!

October of course 

Great stuff!

Thanks Andy. No, it's just that there was so much lovely surface detail on this and the Vickers - and they're only small tanks - I decided to not obliterate them with stowage. But fear not - the stowage will be back 

[Ballardian]

Nice job, you're getting the hang of this tank painting malarky!
 (That Tamiya Pz II was also one of the first of their models I built - around the same time) 

[grant]

Superb!

[Silent Invader]

Lovely work Richard. Will be (is) quite some project. 

[majorsmith]

That's really nice

[Captain Blood]

Thanks chaps 

Started work on the Steyr...

And my consignment from Brent in NZ should be winging its way to the UK - all of a sudden I will have 18 AFVs and vehicles. Really far too many for a 28mm skirmish on a 6'x4' table... 

(Luckily, I don't worry too much about realism, as long as it looks great and the game is good, flavoursome fun... )

This is bad, I'm to old to be wishing my life away but I can't wait for BLAM

One point, Richard. Your Panzer II looks great, but a little bit too old. It seems to be the Egypt version they used in the seven days war against Israel. Using these new technics isalways exciting (I know it myself), but not too much.
