I have worked on the 700+ figures (plus another 105 that are not pictured) above since 2012, mostly in the last three years. They are a combination of metal and plastic 25mm to 28mm pieces from Pulp Figures, Wargames Foundry, Perry Miniatures and Warlord Games.  A big change from the World War II,  1/285 CinC size pieces I painted and played with in the 1970's &'80's. Aside from the Panzer III none of my Second World War tanks and other AFV's are in this post.
