My new 2-pdr arrived from the Perry's on Thursdat so I quickly cleaned it up and did a speed-painting job on it.



I also polished off a couple of simple conversions I made from a box of the Desert Rats figures. A Bren gun on an anti-aircraft mount:



And a pair of stretcher bearers:

Brilliant. There's something about the 2pdr that I love.

Not content with one, I have also done an entire troop for myself:



The greys look a bit blue in these photos but they are indeed grey.

Bluetiful job on those scrivs! I think they came out great. Camera can be mean with colour, I bet they are more greyish. Terrific!

Bluetiful job
You know it, I repainted that grey once already.

By the way, the two pounder is excellent too!

Hooray!  Thanks.  That'll give my 20mm AT rifles something for target practice...  :)

Don't think it has not been noted how busy you have been painting AT assets :)

I've been badly distracted with the new Spanish Civil War project and have been neglecting the 1941 East Africa campaign deadlines I have, so this week I did a couple of Matilda II and a handful of infantry.
