Marder II Platoon

I have always enjoyed doing open-topped vehicles and these Marder II's from Battlefront were no exception. Of course, I had to junk them up a bit, adding stowage from Battlefront, Minifigs and Old Glory. The paint brands I used include Tamiya, Vallejo and Reaper paints as well as the new Citadel washes. The camouflage pattern I choose was one I found in issue Allied-Axis issue 22. All of these issues show wonderful photos, both vintage and new one's of restored vehicles.

Battlefront's Wespe is next on my agenda as well as a Platoon of Panzer IV H's. I am also working on my own personal American 6th Armored Division 'Bulge' army in winter camo and I should have pictures up soon.

T-34/76 obr 1942 Platoon

This platoon of T-34's are pretty much straight out of the box from Battlefront. The only thing added was new decals from Beacon Publications. Paints include Army Painter, Vallejo, Reaper and Citadel paints . The scheme is typical of T-34's in 1943-45. This box set was very enjoyable to paint and assemble and I am looking forward to doing another set, possibly in a winter scheme.

StuG III G Platoon

Here is my Sturmgeschutz III G platoon. The models are from Battlefront with details added from Battlefront, Minifigs and Old Glory. Tamiya and Vallejo paints were used a well as Citadel's new washes. Decals are from Battlefront and Beacon Publications. Marking reflect several prototypes on the eastern front in 1944 to 1945.
