Reinforcements from Gerard

What a way to end the week! The Post Office in town had a nice package for me. For other recent recipients of Gerard's work see here http://wargamingnz.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/wonderful-20mm-spearhead-reinforcements.html and here http://plasticwarriors.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/epic-haul-box-2.html

S-Models, very nice kits

German weak AFVs and transports

CharB1, FT17 and x3 more S35s, joy!

Early Stugs

PSC universal carriers, very nice

Bikes and other spares, and a few metals

Gerard has effectively doubled my French collection and given me some excellent early war additions. I've ripped straight into any fix-ups and will post some better pictures soon. 

Thanks Gerard, massive!

Al

A few of Gerard's infantry...

The last few pictures I have from model maker-extraordinaire Gerard Davey 

Late war figures by Valiant 

AAMG

A couple of different Vickers MG platoons

3" mortar, some units got 4.2" mortars added later in the war

I think if the Valiant sets had been genuinely 1/72 scale from the outset they would have been onto a winner

Revell paratroopers

Gerard's Armour

Found a few pictures of Gerard's collection that I forgot I had... 

Nicely detailed and painted Panthers

Command 251/1

Lastly, a bit of work in progress

Gerard's Marines

Later war examples

Britannia Miniatures 

Command stand. Lord Lovat and his piper

The bikes are a nice detail

These ones are by Valiant 

Gerard's Para

A few pictures of some of Gerard's collection...

The Jeeps have had extra kit added and crew figures modified to suit

Airfix 6pdr with crew

Esci figures, well painted and based

Revell figures, shame about the light in the photos because they don't show the detail - Gerard has painted these really well

Some more progress from Dave in a day or so, amazing what a bit of publicity can do for one's motivation eh Dave?

Reinforcements 2

Recent additions from the talents of Gerard Davey

I now have enough French vehicles to mount a battalion sized unit

Absolutely bonus transport.

French Trucks

Gerard made me these excellent trucks for my French collection






Can't remember if they are Citrons or Renaults but am absolutely chuffed with them.

Volksturm

Had a game at Gerard's last night but forgot to take the camera. It was the excellent Buchneau scenario from the ever industrious Bob Mackenzie http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bob_mackenzie/





Nice figures in original poses and quite useful for any late war scenarios.

Staghound

A present from Gerard, and the only late war armoured car in my British collection

Going to add a little more detail, paint and decals

As you will agree, built to Gerard's usually high standards

In just two days time I will start enjoying 51 of annual leave and have a number of projects on the go, so hopefully some progress on these soon.

Lorraine APCs

More from the talents of Gerard Davey. I now have four of these, which is enough to transport a couple of companies of French mechanised infantry

All I need now is a few French trucks and I'll have quite a few options for this part of my collection; the man's a genius.

The Davey Collection 4

Only a couple of things on the go just now, but as usual nothing fully complete. So for your enjoyment a few guns from the talents of Gerard Davey

I think these are based for the rules Rapid Fire, though three crew figures on a gun is fine for CD also

Crew figures are SHQ?

Airfix classic

Nice to see the limber modelled with its field piece

Think this one is scratch built

The mad modeller's work station
