German objective: Fried Eggs. Part. 2

My Germans have received their second objective.

Had to do some arms repositioning as I didn't have a proper figure to pose as a chèf. Also had to paint the fried egg as I forgot to model it on the tank with green stuff *doh* >. <
Also the eggs center has wrong color as I had run out of proper orange/yellow that I could have used.

Some problems also with the trees, hadn't done any before so was totally new for me but I think they turned out ok. Had to use super glue to attach the foliage.

But overall I'm pleased on this one.

Perhaps next something for my Soviets... Or more Tiger I Es for Kampfgruppe Kersher ;)

P.S. Yes, I know I've missed a little strip to paint on the base ;) Will fix that next time I pull out my paints.

Reinforcements ready!

Ok, it took me a while to paint it after I got it built but my third Tiger I E is now ready to protect Fatherland!

I basecoated the tank black and after that gave it a few light coats of Middlestone. Second camocolor I used is Beige Brown and I did it with an old medium sized drybrush. Tracks, tools, cables and jack were first being painted with Light Grey and then washed over with Nuln Oil. Red oxide was done by mixing 2 parts Red Gore and 1 part Dark Brown and being washed over again with Nuln Oil.

And here are the pictures:

  

As you may notice I haven't done any mud or dust as I'm not sure yet what kind of mud or dust should I do. My older Tigers have just some drybrushed Dark Brown and Beige Brown

 but I may want something new for this one.

My new German toy has arrived!

Yes it's here!

No, sadly it is not the Panzer III I've been waiting for about a month now through my LGS, but it's big (huge?!) brother Tiger I E, which I ordered last friday from Element Games, arrived today. Fast delivery I'd say!

This new child of mine is going to complete my Atlantik Wall sPzK and will be my third Tiger platoon in my 4.SS Brigade list from Grey Wolf.

I hope to get this baby up and running soon to make room for other to be painted objects in my list, which is a bit too long for my liking. And hopefully I will finish my Soviet infantry at the same time.

May we have some Russian steel?

Hi all!

They are all done! 10 SU-100/SU-85Ms, 8 IS-2 obr 1943s and one T-34/85 obr 1944!

Took some time, and those IS-2s were made long before I even thought about buying SU-100s, but the important thing is I'm done with these. Now there are only 9 infantry stands to paint and base in various stages and I hope to have done those in the next month or so.

That will leave me some more infantry stands to paint and base but those are not needed at the moment so they can wait.

Also heres a picture of my IL-2 in winter camo.

After this I will return back to my German army and buff it with one more Tiger I E, some AAA and a Bergepanther. These will be for my Schwere Panzerkompanie from Atlantik Wall.

I found this list to be fantastic to play and I've always loved and wanted to field a Schwere Panzerkompanie mixed with Tiger I Es and KTs.

So here's the list I'm currentry playing in our Firestorm Caen campaing:

HQ
CiC - Tiger I E

Bergepanther recovery

COMBAT
1. Schwere Panzer platoon - 2* Tiger I Es
2. Schwere Panzer platoon - 1* KT (Porsche)

WEAPONS
Schwere Panzer Armored AA - 2* Armored Sd Kfz 10/5 (2cm)
Schwere Armored Panzer Scout platoon - 5 MG + 5 half-trucks

SUPPORT
21. PD - Panzer platoon - 3* Pz IV H
Rocket Launcher Battery - 3* 15cm NW41

1640 points/6 platoons

Could and should take that panzerfaust with my Armored Scouts, but those guys are always backed by either Tigers + KT of Pz IV Hs so there always is some AT with them.
