Jeep Patrol '44

Somewhere in Northern France an intrepid group of US paratroopers patrols the countryside in their Jeep. Note the wire cutting bar that has been added to the front of the vehicle, the heavy loads of ammo boxes and the drivers commandeered MP-40 submachinegun ready for instant action.




The men and wheels are metal the Jeep is resin. I painted these pieces this month.

Recon Chr'ly 6 Reporting In


Recon Chr'ly 6 is on his way to join his fellow scout Gmm'drr Bkkrr as the eyes and ears of his company of Dark Angels.
Always a trooper of faith, Recon Chr'ly 6 never goes into battle without a copy of the "Holy Scriptures of Faith in the Empeor."
His original name is long forgotten, so to his battle brothers, as well as himself, he is forever Recon Chr'ly 6- soldier of faith.
Recon Chr'ly 6 is a plastic piece I painted in July

Death by Fire is a Bad Way to Go

The cry "Enemy Flamethrower" is enough to terrorize even the bravest soldier.
Throughout the wars of the 20th century flamethrowers were a popular go to when fortifications such as pillboxes had to be eliminated.
Such as the one behind this PVA flamethrower team in the Korean War.
These are resin pieces I painted in July.

In the Name of the Emperor!

Mstr's Swd'mn and Crn'klr of the Dark Angele Command Company stand ready to lead their Space Marine Brothers into battle for the "Divine Emperor."
With sacred incense, the "Standard of Retribution" and their faith in the Emperor, they and their men know victory is assured.
It may be a bloody victory, as so many are, but it will be a victory non the less.
These are plastic pieces I painted in May.

Light Mortar Easy to Move to the Frontlines

This PVA team is ready to let fly from their 50mm 92 inch) Soviet RM-38 light mortar.
Quick to set up less than a miniate for a skilled crew, it could give effective fire support up to 700m.
It was not as powerful a the American 60mm light mortar. Therefore, the Chinese were quick to copy the American design and replace their Soviet and captured Japanese Type 10 and 86 mortars as quickly as feasible. 
These are resign pieces I painted in July.

WWII WIP

I just received some cool new Second World War Allies pieces that I now have in their early stages of painting.
Here we have a US Airborne Jeep and crew with the all-important trap wire cutting bar attachment.
And my favorite, piece the famous Corporal Wojtek Polish Soldier Bear from the Italian Front (more on this historic "soldier" will be forthcoming when I present his finished piece).
really looking forward to finishing these pieces this week.
