9th SS - sdkfz 251/1

 9th SS - sdkfz 251/1 

A addition to my 9th SS project, A plastic soldier company 1/72 kit, with SHQ stowage bits added. Quite decals from Skytrex and Plastic Soldier Company happy with the camo, I need to add another gloss then matt varnish over the decals to dull it down a bit more. Must crack on with the other 9 vehicles and also complete the crews

Cheers

Fougeres - Felgar Games

 Felgar Games 

I attended the Felgar Games tabletop games event this weekend. A big mix of anything tabletop with a huge crowd coming through. The Wargames tables had their own hall so we did have some space to play. I played  my first game of Écourchers, which I liked, the coin system worked well and I captured the pig with my English, porc crackling tonight! Although different to most Wargames shows it did draw a huge public crowd that ebbed and flowed all day. 

Large Hall, all board games, chess and traders

Book Review - Zimmerit the ultimate modeling guide.

 

 Zimmerit the ultimate modeling guide. 

So still diving down the modeling project if 17th SS vehicles in Pays de Loire and Normandy in June to August 1944. With that in mind I picked up the latest publication of Ammo paints, the tools and zimmerit paste. 

The books is an absolute cracker with the most comprehensive covering of the various patterns used on German vehicles I have ever seen. Each pattern is covered then a guide of how to achieve it with the tools and paste. Color me impressed, now to trial the paste myself in the coming weeks on some StuGs and panzer IVs. 

I will let you know how it performs 

Cheers

Matt
