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....

Caesar. U.S. Infantry, 1:72

Today just a small update. I´ve got a bad cold and it´s difficult to paint when shaking and coughing all the time.

Have a nice weekend, whereever you are!

LCVP, Pegasus, Finished!

As promised a few pictures of the LCVP with the crew. I hope, you like it!






And welcome to vladimir.polasek and again, this time officially ;-) to Erhan Atalay!
Nice to have you here!

M 10 "Wolverine", Armourfast, 1:72

Another fast assembly kit I´m working on. I made a stupid mistake with this one. I applicated the decals and forgot to cover them with glossy colour ( I´m getting old :-(. This time I used a wash with diluted oil colours and the thinner destroyed the decal on the right and damaged the one of the left turret side. Unfortunately I had only one in my spare box... Next steps will be a highlight of the edges, painting the tracks and a second wash. The figures are from SHQ, I thin they fit in well.

LCVP, Pegasus, 1:72

Finally my LCVP is finished. I painted it, wasn`t satisfied, painted it again, I wasn´t satisfied and painted again. I´m still not satisfied with the results but enough is enough! Pictures with soldiers will follow soon. I have to paint the bases tonight...

Armourfast, Sherman M4A3, 75MM

Back from Holiday!!! After a short trip to the bavarian forrest I´m back at home. Nice trip, but the weather was not as good as i hoped. As always I took a few kits with me, but unfortunately I was pricked in my right wrist by a wasp at day three and my Hand was swollen for over a week. So after two fast assembly kits my modelling ambitions were over :-(
Here you can see the first one. The other one ( a Panzer IV by Armourfast) will follow.









And welcome to my new viewers. I hope that after my free-time my output will increase ;-)

Just another Post about U.S. Rangers....

I am very busy at the moment. Nearly no time for hobbies :-( Always the same, when the summer comes the workload increases....
But yesterday I managed to go on with my U.S. Rangers. Still not finished, but I hope to manage this during the week.





And welcome to José Manuel Chasco, rousell68 and Rich. Nice to have you here and I hope you will find some new posts in the next weeks.

U.S. Infantry, Caesar, Pegasus update

Today only a little update. The standing Figure is finished, the other 3 need a little rework.

U.S. Rangers, Pegasus, Update

I continued my work on the U.S. Rangers as painting, putting them on bases or gluing some parts (e.g. the heads of the two medics)
Still a lot to do, but I made some progress.



O.K. I should give up smoking, especially when making pictures!


This one will be a real challenge. Not the figures but the rest...


And welcome to Alvaro. He has three blogs, please click on his Avatar for more Infos!

The "Pegasus-Project", U.S. Rangers, 1:72

As promised I started these U.S. Rangers from Pegasus. A really beautiful set with poses I´ve never seen befor. O.k. most of them are for dioramas, not for wargaming, but nevertheless nice!. Istarted these wounded/dead soldiers and medics. As you can see, some assembeling is required and some parts have to be painted befor gluing. Still a lot to do but you´ve got a first impression.





Ans welcome to melvin. Nice to have you here!

U.S. Infantry, Caesar, 1:72 and a tree....

On weekend I finished my first tree. It was a first try and I think I know what went wrong. I will try again and I hope the result will be better. And I started the U.S. Rangers from Pegasus (Pictures will follow). To get the feeling for the U.S. Boys I also painted these Ceaser Minis. Still W.i.p. but this week will be U.S. week.





And welcome to Takeo! Nice to have you here!

U.S. Gun Crew (Anti Tank), SHQ, 1:76

Today I want to show you 5 Figures from SHQ I finished this weekend. They are designated for an Anti Tank Gun, but I will use them as Crewmembers for my M 10 &
M36. They can cover the empty Turret ;-)
Not the best Paintjob but I still have got my Problems with Whitemetall.

Seamen, Pegasus, 1:76

I just finished the seamen from the LCVP by Pegasus. The beautiful weather allowed to make some pictures outdoor. I also reworked one of by gameboards. Pictures will follow later this day... And welcome to Plastic Hussar with his Blog http://plasticpelisse.blogspot.com/
