Cromwell IV

Here is one of hmm 11 Cromwell IV’s I have.  They were bought in a bygone age before Battlefront decided to make the Cromwell’s look all awesome with hession camo, exhaust cowls and stowage modeled directly onto the tank.  I really need to spruce them up and try to update mine to look nice too.  But in the meantime they’re  painted and serviceable and whilst out gunned and out armoured by their german counterparts I’m still very fond of them.  Protected Ammo, Semi Indirect Fire and awesome mobility makes them pretty effective.  Pity they’re crewed by a pack of pansies, who panic and bail at the first obstacle to cross their path.  Irrespective of all that though I just really like the the look and shape of the cromwell.  Which is why I chose a british armoured squadron when I started to play from amongst the many other choices.

Tiger IE

Starting to run out of photos, will have to take some more.

This is my first german tank I painted, many years ago.  This was taken before I took the picture of the diorama in which the same tank appears.  For that I touched it up as bits of paint had chipped and highlighted a little more and weathered some more.  I really need to get some decals for it to properly finish it and some varnish probably wouldn’t go a miss.  Pictured here showing it’s rear since  already have a photo the reverse angle.

2cm FlaK38’s

These are my FlaK38’s (minus the command team) that I finished off last week.  The guns themselves were painted with Martin’s airbrush about a year ago?  but have only now finished them off painted the crew and based them.  Pretty happy with my work on the camo smocks for these guys, the combat platoons (of which I have no photos yet) are a realm mismatch with me trying different techniques and even colours.  They’re far from perfect but they’re certainly adequate.  I’ve also continued my theme of painting the bread bags ‘luftwaffe blue’ (highlighted to a considerably bright pale shade) because well I think it makes them stand out even if they’re a bit bluer than they probably should be.  Must be my background in painting fantasy figures that makes me want to do that.
