StuG III and StuG III killer.

More is done for my WW2 20mm project. Which I guess have become my unofficial self-isolation project.

First up is a PSC StuG III

 The dunkelgelb is less forgiving than British OD.

 I had just gotten an order from MIG AMMO, so several new effects were tried. Green grime and rust being the major ones. But also some mud.

 I'm only half satisfied with it. I think I overdo the effects, to hide the lack of airbrush.


Up next is something that kills the StuG dead, really dead.
 The 6pdr was a great AT gun. Here I went for more subtle, it only has some streaking grime, and light dust effects, mostly on the wheels.  

 Ready to kill off german armour.



Next I'll glue together another StuG, this time, the main focus will be to try and use the MIG AMMO chipping effect thing.
I'll also most likely get some AK paints tomorrow. That I've been waiting on before I do more British infantry and start on the german one.

Lets fight them on the beach.

Which is the noise these tanks made when they rolled off the assembly line, that's why they are called Churchills, true story. 


I've decided to redo some WW2 projects, I was tired of the stupid out of scale infantry next to 1:56 vehicles, it annoyed me so much I stopped my Chain of command Market Graden project.
So now I've decided to do 20mm. Stuff is more in scale here.
First up is a Plastic Soldier Company Churchill.

 I did the same as I did for my British 28mm Shermans.
Standard paint job, followed by various effects. 
 I went heavy on the dry mud, these are infantry tanks, they crawl along the dirt roads and muddy fields with the infantry. 

I plan on using it for Chain of Command but also Battlegroup seems interesting. So I plan on ordering those rules.

20mm Airborne

Ok, finnaly got my 20mm Fantassin WW2 figs.
They are quite good, lots of detail and gear, but the figs are a bit crude, sharp edges ect.
You do realy have lots of detail, compeard to the 28mm figs I've done before. you got suspenders, mussete bag, E-Tool, even trench knife on their leg, it's very cool for me, as I got all this stuff in my closet.
I painted them the same way I painted the 28mm, but the shadeing didn't show up very well on the pics.
Also the big big thing I like about 20mm is that they look right, the guns are closer to real size, so are hands and heads ect. the look like people and not some freak with a AA cannon in the hands
