First, here's my Bromefield[1] M1800 Iron 10" Howitzer, being tried out for size by one of my RHA crews (the RA crews are still in the painting queue).
Also, as I'm rather proud of them and haven't posted them before, here's my rocket troop, featuring a Phoenix Miniatures crew and scratch-built launcher.
Getting back to the original WiP items, here are the WW2 20mm items that have made it across the finish line.
The Unic P107 half-track and Daimler Scout Car, with their respective crews are the only original members of the last WiP post. So, they deserve a few more photos, starting with the P107 with driver, gunner and a few infantry ...
... and then removed for when they disembark to be replaced by based troops.
These figures are joined with steel wire inserted through them, the rigid grouping being enough to hold them securely in place without wobbling.
By contrast the Dingo Scout Car has its crew fixed in place - there is a driver in there, honest, you just can't see him.
The other completed items, indicated by yellow arrows[2], consist of two MG, and one ATG, entrenchments, a kneeling figure and some casualties.
The entrenchments were the result of messing with Milliput when filling the tanks that haven't as yet been completed - I always make up too much. The larger gun emplacement was a set of plastic 1/72 sandbags that came with a Checkpoint kit (Hasegawa IIRC) and thought I might as well do them as well.
The dead figure was found when going through my stash looking for crew for the P107, and got included as I'm short of German dead. Likewise, the kneeling figure was missing his right arm, and half his right leg, cut off for use in a previous conversion, but as I also found a spare arm I thought I'd repair him being short of kneeling figures. And with some other spare parts (6 legs & 1 arm, mostly from the crews for the Dingo and the unfinished tanks), together with some of the spare Milliput I fashioned another grisly addition to the collection.
The final distraction was finishing off a Hinchliffe 25mm Hellenistic General that had been sitting half-painted on the window ledge for longer than I care to admit.
So, as the next CoC campaign game is not scheduled for a while yet, I should be getting on with completing the tanks[3], which are pretty well advanced, for my next post. Well, once the last of the DIY chores is done - they don't take that long but I'm a world-class procrastinator.
Notes:
[1.] I have seen various spellings for 'Bromefield', and last time went with 'Blomefield', but Bromefield seems more common so I'm now using that until corrected.
[2.] The MG teams and ATG occupying the entrenchments are just added for aesthetic effect and to show the fit.
[3.] A Tetrarch, a Pz II Luchs and a Pz III J.
