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

Terrain Tuesday - ohh la Vache

 Ohh la Vache 

Some cows for my modern and ww2 wargaming terrain filler. Based on the Normand cream cow that makes up the majority of soft rind cheeses in the Camembert and Brie valleys around us. 

 French Napoleonic Markers 

Completed some French Napoleonic markers for GDB or GDA. Nice pieces on Warbase markers. 

 British Napoleonic casualty markers 

A few pieces of the desk this week continues, first up some British casualties markers for GDB and GDA and out of ammo morale markers. A mix of perry and 3d printed pieces. 

Wip Wednesday - chevau leger lancier

 Chevau leger lancier WIP

Finally after a very busy 6 months I will get a few weeks to complete some projects on my desk. First two are cavalry projects for my French Napoleonic army. The first project will my last Lancer regiment for 1812-15. I am planing the 8th lanciers using Warlord figures. Commenced the horses this week. Should be done by the weekend hopefully. 

Chasseur Ardennais

 

 Chassuers Ardennais 1st Regiment 

Completed four more rifle companies of FAA and Blitz/Battlefield and Early War miniatures for my First Chassuer Ardennais regiment. These chaps have been awaiting completion since the end of March and as I am going through a completion and clearing of my desk I thought I should get them done 100% including company markings on the rear of the base. Really happy with the results. I still have another battalion to build, however I hope to use FAA for them too, but with the tariffs all over the place. I will need to continue my search online I think for used ones.
