"...The Imperial General Staff considered the tank to be superior to any light tank produced by other nations." |
Happily however, having encountered a similar situation with some Matilda II and Crusader II tanks I recently pigmented, I now own a sizeable non-winter Early Second World War Allied force - within which these "superior" vehicles should fit quite nicely. Resultantly, the trio were individually super-glued to plastic 30mm x 40mm rectangular stands and undercoated using "Vallejo" Leather Brown primer. They were then layered with a double-helping of "Vallejo" Russian Uniform WW2, and enthusiastically drowned in "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade.
"Pendraken Miniatures" WIPs - Two Churchill VIIs just needing their tracks to be 'picked out' |
Sticking with 10mm British tanks produced by "Pendraken Miniatures", I have also been working on a pair of Heavy Churchills armed with 75mm guns. I also bought these weighty models from the Middlesbrough-based manufacturer's stall at Salute 50, as welcome additions to my Battle Of The Bulge Allied force. In addition though, I have used them as a good excuse to revisit the two Churchill VIIs I previously pigmented in late April 2023.
"Pendraken Miniatures" WIPs - Two Panther Gs awaiting some finer detail work |
Finally, I'm making some fine progress on a couple of German Panther G tanks I want to add to my Ardennes Offensive project. I actually recently took stock of a variety of 10mm Late War anti-tank vehicles, so these 'counters to the Soviet T-34' will probably be the last actual tank I'll be painting for some time - at least for the Third Reich. Furthermore, I've bought/located a fair few infantry figures, including some British Policemen with rifles, which may well divert my attention towards adding plenty of foot elements to my armies - most notably a What If Operation Sealion campaign, where Hitler's goosestepping goons successfully cross the Channel.
