Airfix Centurions

Here is what they originally looked like, x3 soft plastic models, they have seen several games set between 1946 and 1953 

I added a lower hull section to each of them

This is an actual Airfix kitset, which I did up as a command platoon. It was originally brown

Added fuel cans, mg, crew figure and turret baggage

The fume extractor on the barrel makes these later model Centurions but they will still be used for gaming 1945-70

Repainted and additional decals added to all four vehicles

Quite happy with the revamp results.

Jungle Bases

More jungle animal play-set goodness today

Each base represents an area of dense jungle that hampers movement and restricts line of sight

Pictured here with my only two jungle buildings.

Sandbags - by Dave

Must have had these for ages...

Artillery and machinegun emplacements 

I think Dave's kids had a hand in these 

Great scenery additions that cover a lot of different eras and conflicts; the humble sandbag hasn't really changed much, still does the job eh? ?Nice work Dave and kids. 

Brewster Buffalo

Pictures of the completed aircraft. Operated by several nations throughout The Second World War

I tried to make the paint scheme as multi-national as I could, including nondescript markings

Fortunately this kit came with a pilot figure

I tried to use old fuselage decals but they broke up, so in the end I had to paint some markings ... not an easy task 

The colours, etc are loosely Dutch East Indies but the Finish and Belgians used these too in a similar pattern

The Dutch used this aircraft in a dive bomber role, so I added a couple of small bombs from the spares box

This is an excellent addition to my aircraft collection. I had been after one of these for some time. Thanks Paul for sending it.

Pz38t

Tracy got me this the other day. It is one of the tanks that came with a magazine

I've put some black wash on it, and will finish the highlighting over the weekend

My Pz38t collection now numbers x4

These are by Pegasus, crew figure is by Preiser

This one is by Czech company Attack; the oldest in my collection of these

x1 reinforced tank company or x2 under strength ones.

Kriegsmarine Company

Another small unit added to my German collection. Most of the figures are Esci

A couple of the Sealion scenarios have 'German naval infantry' in the OOB so I knocked these up to fill that requirement

Command infantry platoon

Rifle platoons

Machinegun platoon

Could probably expand this unit into x2 companies plus a small HQ and support company but I have other things on the go at present. The bases were painted grey rather than green as from what I've read these troops spent more time on ships and around docks than anywhere else.
