 Hi guys

Update on these 1/72 Char B1s, have completed their markings, mostly (poorly) hand painted, and given a black pin wash, next up I’ll give them a heavy oil streaking, period pictures show these tanks very grimy and streaky.
This weeks 3D prints include some German bicycle troops which will go to my Luftwaffe field division, as their recon company, the Luftwaffe field division troops were very poorly equipped, even more poorly trained, and lead just as poorly.
Heaps more pics here

 Hi guys

The Char B1s are finished, all but the bases anyway, wanted these guys grubby, all the period pics I’ve seen show them very grubby, 2 3D printed ones will be shipped of to their owner, the other 4 will go into the cabinet to be based later, also, printed some mid war stugs, I’m thinking I will give them to an Eastern front winter German project I’m planning. Next I’ll finish my Hungarian vehicles.

I do like those Char B1s - they will give the Germans a run for their money!

Chars look excellent. I like the chalky weathering.

IIRC the engine louvres on the left track were particularly noted for their oil stains and grime.

Very nice indeed!!!
I want to get/make a nice 28mm version of the MarderIII Ausf H, the one I keep seeing for sale (Bolt Action?) is not the H variant.

Here's a 1/6 model I made years ago, always thought this looked more like a sports model than the other versions  ;D:

I think there's a nice 1/56 H model on Thingiverse. I know I printed one.

There should be 1 on thingyverse, may have to re scale it, and it probably won’t be as nice as that picture, but you could snazzy it up.

NICE!  I like the lines of the H model and the PAK40 stuck in it ain't too shabby either.
