Project Panzergrenadier Kompany – Pt1

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 boxes

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!!!

Night Goblin Fanatics

These are my Night Goblin Fanatics just like the title says.  Decided to stick all three up at once because well I don’t know really but I did.

I broke the chain on the second one so pinned, glued and puttied around the chain.  Looks pretty rubbish in this photo (probably thanks to my photochopping) but it looks more like a bit of leather in real life.  I painted one red because I liked the red robed night goblins and I think this turned out pretty well.  Better than I expected at any rate.  Was the first figure I painted after something like a four year break from painting figures.

Black Elephants – Part II

The Elephants received their primer coat tonight.  As explained in the Panthers post the Primer paint is Color Kote. Metal primer. It went on very shiney and appeared thick but it shrinks and dries very fast and with a wonderfull dull surface finish.

I havn’t much comment to add further on the tanks themselves so I will let teh pictures entertain…
