The Nothing New Project Progress

 The project is off to a flying start, I have purchased enough figures for a full platoon and support, a Sherman platoon, a M36 Jackson and some M3 half tracks should I wish to field an armoured infantry platoon. This should keep me occupied until Partizan were I hope to pick up some more vehicles.

The progress so far.


A moving and firing bazooka team and the start of the platoon HQ, all AB figures.



BAR and rifle teams all AB Figures again.


30cal machine gun team, yes you guessed AB Figures.


Reconnaissance team, jeep by Italeri and the crew Plana Mayor.


57mm anti-tank gun, crew Simon's Soldiers and the gun is from Empress Miniatures.


Sherman "Easy Eight" with 76mm gun a Trumpeter plastic kit and stowage from Early War Miniatures.

That's all for now folks.

    Excellent progress, Phil, and wonderful brushwork. Those AB figures are superb.

      Thank you Jonathan, have to agree on AB Figures they are the benchmark of 1/72nd-20mm WW2 figures IMHO

    Looking great. The Empress gun was originally an AB kit was it not? I’ve never understood why they went to Empress, obviously some logical explanation, I just don’t know what it is.

      Thank you Mark. They were indeed the old AB ones, I can't remember the story behind Empress getting the equipment side either, perhaps someone can enlighten us?

      Thank you George. Indeed I am sure it's an addiction if some kind.

    Thank you Jon. Doing nothing appears to be very productive, next two Shermans are underway.

    Lovely painting and basing on the jeep, tank and ATG Phil, also you have done AB Miniatures proud with the figures in greatcoats.
