Americans in Winter Uniforms

This will be it, I hope for 28mm WWII figures. These are again resin printed from the RKX kickstarter. I believe these came out of the soup a little sharper than the Volksgrenadiers. I needed a support unit for my upcoming Hürtgenwald scenario, while at the same time supplementing the figures of our Historical Wargaming Club's collection.

It has been interesting to paint 28mm figures for WWII, quite a different task from painting 20mm. I found these a bit more of a challenge but I believe this may be due to the nature of the resin prints that I produced. I just started painting some 28mm WWI Brits from Wargames Atlantic and these are much easier to paint and I suspect I will get a much better result. This is due to the much sharper detail on the hard plastic figures. I might get one of my friends to print some of the RKX figures, who is much more skilled than I with resin printing.

 

AHPCVIII:Seventh Submission-CinC US Vehicles

Not a whole lot of painting done this week but I did get some more US models done for Rommel. I am hoping to put on a Rommel game this weekend, this will be our first mid-war battle so I needed some US forces. First up in the Tunisian campaign will be an encounter during the battle for the Kasserine Pass. I hate painting infantry so I will substitute in some British for the 9 bases of US motorised infantry I need. Did need some tanks and armoured infantry so here we go. All these models are from PFC CinC and are quite nice.

6 bases of Armoured Infantry in M3 Halftracks

3 bases of M3 tank Hunters equipped with 75mm guns 

A Base of Shermans and one of Stuarts

105mm Howitzer Base

And finally some Italian Tanks

M14/41 Tanks

I think we have 40 Vehicles and 2 guns. I have done well over 100 bases for Rommel now so have built up a bit of a collection. I really need to stop and polyurethane these models and bases. Once this is done I plan to attach some scrub brush to dress up the bases.......well that is the plan anyway!
