After over a year of having the two boxes of Pz Grenadiers in storage and recently purchasing a Pz GrenadierKompanie HQ box I am now going to start on finishing them.
I have a box of midwar PzG adn a box of late war PzG. I intend to mix these butam unsure if i will mix vehicles and figures within the units or have a platoon of each separate sets.
After finding all the tracks and wheels of which some where los(but now found) I have laid them out.
Of interest is that the kHQ box has plastic tracks,mgs,wheelsetc but my two platoon boxs have the metal ones. I am unsure if the current box sets are still the same.
Also I purchased an individual HT when Toyworld Dunedin was selling the stand off cheap. So I have one extra HT now. That is because the HQ box is so excellent it has three HT’s one for the Panzer shreck team too.
All three box sets and plus one HT. The HQ are not painted.
As you can see above I have already painted two platoons with an airbrush. Mr Light and I had a good session airbrushing about a year ago. We were both reasonable happy with the results. And so many tanks and so many tanks and HT’s .. what was it 21 Tanks and eight HT’s, 6 Marder II’s, 12 trucks,4 jeeps,etc etc.. would have been in excess of 40 vehicles.
Here is a nice surprise in the HQ box, 1 HT has stowage moulded onto it.
One is a standard clean vehicle.
One has track armour on the front armour plate and a panzershreck on the weapons rack in the interior. Cool or waht? (said in german accent?)
So there you have it… some nice surprises and some cool work to look forward to seeing progress on.
However don’t forget… ther are Panthers and elephants in the jungle just waiting to pounce out on the next blogs!!!
Wow I like the additional features on the HQ half-tracks. All looks very cool, though you hardly need more german platoons. Will be great one day if you can place them all down on the table, painted. Will need to be a fairly sizable table though.
Yeah the airbrushing was fun. I was reasonably happy with the results from my end. I kinda rescued my tiger from it’s enthusiastic camo scheme. Still it’s really a little dark being more brown now that dunkelgelb.
