The Rules...

You got nominated? Here's what you've  got to do (I'll dare to copy this from Mojos blog who copied it from Monty`s Caravan Blog ;) )

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog linking it to the blogger who has given it to you. 
2. Pass the award to your top 5 favourite blogs with less than 200 followers by leaving a comment on one of their posts to notify them that they have won the award and listing them on your own blog.
3. Sit back and bask in that warm fuzzy feeling that comes with knowing that you have just made someone's day!
4. There is no obligation to pass this on to anyone else but it is nice if you do...

Late War Germans...

Today I want to show you the last part of my "picture session" 4 weeks ago. The late war germans.

And welcome JFaria and tankmodells.pl! I hope you enjoy the show ;-)

British Forces....

Today some pictures of my british forces. As you can see, the bases of most of the minis aren´t finished yet. I   continued the work in the last days and I hope to finish this until next Sunday. These Soldiers were the first I based a long time ago. I recognized, that "green" is not the best choice to paint the bases, so I started to repaint them. And the rest was rweorked and painted, too. I have to highlight and wash the bases and finally they will get some gras.
The bright sunlight has the effect, that the tanks look like new. But in reality the´re looking a lot more "used".

"Mid-War" Germans

As I told in my last post I made a lot of pictures on Saturday. Today I want to show you what I would call "Mid-War" Germans. I like the "Panzergelb" and that´s why I´ve got some kits painted in this colour. But as you can see, the Panzer IV and the Jagdtiger Jagdpanther (OMG I play too much world of tanks...) aren`t finished yet.

Early war german forces

Yesterday I made a littel inventory. Two things happend: First, the weather was fine and second: I got time..... My Family was busy and I got one of these precious saturday mornings, when no one wants you somthing to do.

So I put out my Minis, made a lot of pictures and have an Idea what is missing in my forces. Today some pictures of my early war germans....

More will follow!

My U.S. Troops..... a little thin on the heavy side ;-)

Today just a few pictures og my current U.S. Troops. I need more steel!!!!! Heavy units and some trucks as well. But the coming Winter is the right time for resuplies.

Next U.S. Platoon, some "Basework" needed...

Another U.S. Platoon needs his bases. As my Internet connection was lost a few days I went on with these. Meanwhile the bases are finished and just need some washing and drybrushing. The Figures are from Caesar, Revell and Atlantic. 

Ups, just recognized that the medic needs a red cross on the helmet....

New U.S. Platoon (almost finished)

My new U.S. Platoon is nearly finished. I based them but unfortunately I just forgot one...
Seems I´m getting old.
And I have to base the mortar for the mortar crew (on the right side). I´m not satisfied with the bases and will rework them someday. My long pause takes it´s toll  ;-)
Next project will be some german stuff. I´ve got an old Revell DAK Set (Hard Plastic) I would like to paint.

I will make new pictures of these.... I was in a hurry this morning.

My new painting aid....

I prime coated the howitzer I bought last week. First time I used my "new" painting aid. I found an old turntabel and I used some parts for this "rotating" painting aid. Very useful ;-)

And I would like to welcome

My 100th follower :-)

German 105-mm Howitzer with Crew, Zvezda

Yesterday I bought the first two figure sets in this year. HÄT U.S. Tank Riders and this litttle gun...

Nice and with 2,99 € cheap, imho.

Ruin, 1:72, Fantasy-Gelände-Modelle

As mentioned yesterday I want to finish some older projects. I started yesterday with this ruin. The first two pictures were made befor I continued. Almost finished, I would say. The windows need a rework, the drainpipes have to be painted and finally some debris will be added. The kit is from "Fantasy-Gelände-Modelle.

Samy, you make wonderful buildings!

And thank you again for your warm welcome yesterday.
