Neb's, MG's and Warriors

This weekend I finished up my two 21cm Nebelwerfers plastoons, a FJ Machine gun platoon, General Major Remer and SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl-Heinz Euling . I'm awaiting on a replacement Nebelwerfer from BF since one that was packaged in my one blister was miscast - BADLY.

Hetzers!

After playing World of Tanks using a Hetzer and being quite successful with it, I had to paint these guys up. They have been on my shelf for way too long, just taunting me to paint them up. Last night I had some time to paint them up so I tried something new - dot camo.

Cold Kitty, Panther kitty....

Big machines of doom, Deadly kitty Panther kitty BOOM BOOM BOOM!

These aren't finished, but I thought I would throw up a few pictures of them since I'm at a stand still until my paints arrive in the mail. I ran out of Tamiya X-22 Gloss, so I'm unable to dull coat them to apply the finishing touches to the tools, cables, etc.

Dismounted Begleit tank escorts

I finished painting the dismounted portion of the Begleit Tank Escorts today. I decided to paint them up using the summer oak leaf camo pattern so they would stand out on the table if they were forced to dismount from the tank(s). I ran out of pumice paste last night, so once I have a chance to run up to Michael's (my wife gets a nice teacher discount) to get some I'll finish these guys up.

Mortar Teams

I painted up my mortar team this weekend, in between hockey games for my kids. While I've yet to use mortar teams in the past, I felt I needed a set since I don't really like to borrow other people's miniatures.

Riders on the move...

I finished up my Begleit Tank Escorts this weekend.While I was wondering what I could do to conceal the wire between the riders, after putting them on the tanks, I don't think I'll need to worry. The wire, when painted black makes it almost impossible to see when you are at tabletop length away from them. I think they turned out pretty good, considering that I'll probably only get to use them once or twice if I'm lucky.  I just like the look of them on the top of my STuG's.
