M6 37mm GMC WIP

This work in progress (IP) is a 37mm Gun Motor Carriage (GMC) It was an early war attempt to give mobile anti-tank ability to US troops.

 The piece is resin and metal and is about 90% complete.

Zulu Scouts

 

                                   Scouting for the Impi is both dangerous and exciting.

                              When the enemy is sighted more scout forces arrive.

               Maybe a swift raid will ensue or hopefully a massive battle and victory.

                                                 I painted these plastic pieces in April 2017.

Askari's-Whan You Need Local Firepower

No matter the colonial power, they all used local troops that knew the terrain to help police and control the colony. "Askari's" was the most common name for these profession local troops in Africa.

I painted these 19th century plastic Askari's in March of 2017.

More Russians Always More Russians

Form the German point of view, there was a never-ending flow of Russian troops on the Eastern Front.

Regardless of the massive losses suffered though out the war, the seemingly endless manpower of the Soviet Union slowly ground down the German War Machine, all the way to the final battle in the streets of Berlin.

These Soviet reinforcements are plastic pieces that I painted in June of 2020.

 

Angry Boneheads

These angry "Bonehead" lizardmen are in no mood to fool around with any human intruders.

 These lizardmen are plastic figures that I painted in May 2020, for Richard's new Blood Bowl Army. I unfortunately do not know the manufacturer.

Survivor's, This Way!

When things go "South," sticking together-regardless of unit designation-is often the best hope for survival. 

This mixed group of British line and Riflemen are such a group. Will they reach safety or in in a blaze of glory? Only the god's of war know...

These are metal pieces I painted in August of 2020.
 

Dark Days in 1950

Advancing under the protection of a pair of LMG's, this squad of North Koreans

advances into the UN forces tasked with holding the line in the opening day of the war.

The initial attack in 1950 was led by well trained and highly motivated troops

that were more than a match for the poorly equipped South Korean troops and the largely green 

American troops rushed to battle from garrison duty in Japan. That would change as the war progressed, but the early days were dark ones for the South Koreans and their allies.
