Here it is suitably crewed with a Volksturm crew from Simons Soldiers, available in the UK via Wargaming Miniatures.
Going back to 1066 at GHQ for next week's game.

World War Two Additions
Last year I threw caution to the wind and purchased this Ace Models gun for my Volksturm.
I assembled it with surprisingly little cussing, one can't say that of an Ace kit very often.
l have also completed another M3 half-tracks so that I can field an American Armoured Infantry platoon. The M3s are from the Plastic Soldier Company and the crew figures are Simons Soldiers.
I have not been neglecting the Triple Alliance project all the completed battalions have now been made up to eighteen figures and I am half way to completing another Paraguayan battalion.
While your gun is Ace so are your half tracks. Magnificent job.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the ACE appreciation Jonathan.
DeleteThey are quite wonderful Phil. Love your work on the half-tracks especially.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carlo. Glad you think the half-tracks pass muster.
DeleteSplendid additions Phil.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the continued support George.
DeleteThe shading is just perfect. Oooh 1066 goodness :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the shading endorsement Norm. We are giving Dave's 1066 collection a run out using Hail Caesar.
DeleteSuperb work Phil and nice touches such as the map for the crew of the half-track:).
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve, most kind. The GI in the other is reading a pulp magazine but you can't see the cover, doh!
DeleteYour WWII stuff just keeps hitting the excellent standard mark, which is more than can be said for their effectiveness in games where they're so often handicapped by your dice throwing! 🎲🎲🎲
ReplyDeleteHitting the mark and getting 🎯 it seems.
DeleteImpressive, hopefully the dice deity rewards such talent on the table.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. The half-tracks maybe the poor old Volksturm unlikely I fear.
DeleteSplendid painting and lovely details too
ReplyDeleteCheers
Matt
Thank you Matt.
DeleteLovely toys Phil…
ReplyDeleteI really like Volkstrum gun and crew…
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly. Can't have the Volksturm without some wacky captured equipment.
DeleteWonderful work Phil! The gun and crew in particular make a splended addition. Great detailing! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul. Good luck with the Zulus tomorrow.
DeleteThey're very nice additions Phil. I sympathise regarding ACE kits. Good job they don't do a T-35!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon. A T35 now that would probably be a challenge to far🙂
DeleteI'm doing an S-Model one right now ... oh joy!
DeleteI have done two S-Model ISU152s and a Jagdpanther. Such fun!
DeleteVery nice all round. I do so love the look of US Half Tracks...especially in IDF colours for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. I am always tempted to paint them dark gray and put a Balkenkreuz on the side🙂
