Ready To Roll

Into the Reich, two more vehicles from the Rapid Fire Ready to Roll range.
For 1945 games and in preparation for the latest Battlegroup supplement.
First up a Sherman dozer.
Second a M8 armoured car with an AB Figures commander.
I also have a M36 tank destroyer ready for weathering, await delivery of washes from Flory Models, ordered last night and posted today!

Keep your eyes peeled for a report of the French and Indian Wars game played today on Dave's blog, Tales From GHQ.

TTFN and KBO

    Two splendid additions there Phil! Far prefer R2R's approach to wargames pieces rather than the Battlefront rubbish I've been struggling with! The F&IW game is on my blog now by the way.

      Thank you Aly, they are nice and sturdy gaming without fiddly and fragile bits. Although I did have fun glueing 32 individual bolt heads on the UM Models M36😂😂😂

    Very much like the subtle shading/weathering, The AB figures are fantastic sculpts with proper proportions.

      Thank you Matt much appreciated. AB are indeed wonderful, just adding that figure lifted the M8 another level.

      Thank you George. I can you see now at 17.00 standing in the turret being driven through Warton to the applause of adoring customers😁

    Lovely dozer piece - did you use AB for the M36 crew as well? I bought a kit from EWM for the very plain Armorfast M10’s, which added crew, some stowage and some shell racks to line the interior of the turret.
