Currently on the go vehicle wise are for the SCW a Hispano-Suiza truck and a fripery to compliment the upcoming addition to their range from Empress Miniatures and for WW2 a Churchill tank.

Republican T26

I picked up another T26 from Empress Miniatures while I was at Partizan for the Republicans, not as though they need it with the current run of victories ably commanded by Senor Bickley.
Rather than let it lanquish in the to do pile I have set to and completed it.
Also under the brush is a Hispano-Suiza truck I picked up at the same time.
I have also amended my Bolt Action House Rules and added a target acquisition test rule for anyone who likes a less god like vision of the table top.
Toodle pip for now and as always KBO.

Fill It Up

A couple of years ago I started a France 1940 project in 28mm which never got far before being sold on, I have since done it in 20mm. At the time I started this garage to compliment the buildings I already had for the late war.
I had run out of primed figures earlier in the week so I set to and finished it off.
The building is a MDF shell is from Warbases, from where I sourced the base, with a Wills corrugated iron roof added together with guttering, downpipe and weather boarding. The cobbled forecourt is from the same source too.
The advertising signs are downloaded from the Rapid Fire website, the forecourt furniture is from 1st Corps with period names downloaded off the web and resized from 1/35 scale.
The name on the frontage I did myself.
All being well it will feature on the table in our game next week.

Old Pikey's Gaming Group - Hells Highway 1944

There were many more worthy of a photo of two, but time is the enemy with so many.
Until next time...............

The Other Partizan 1

Though feeling somewhat depleted after fighting of the lurgy having missed the May Partizan I was determined to attend this one.
I made up for missing May by spending many £s
Gripping Beast - Successors and Napoleonic artillery.
Dave Thomas - French Napoleonic dragoons.
Empress - WWII British and SCW bits.
Last Valley - a small dry walled garden.
Pendraken - wire spears and paint.
Ironclad - Field position.
Warbases - well bases.
Great Escape Games - grass Tufts.
Foundry - more Successors.
I didn't take photos of a lot of the splendid games on display, a small selection of what I did appear below.
League of Extraordinary Wargamers - Tip & Run East Africa 1914
The Iron Brigade - Lee Heads North ACW
A beautiful 6x4 table put on by chums Kevin & Peter
To be continued................

Republican O Group

I bought this command set when it was released, I would be embarrassed to find out how long ago that was. With the upcoming release of a Nationalist command set I thought it high time they had their time in the sun so set too and got them painted. I have added two Soviet advisors to complete the scene.
I am on the road to recovery from the lurgy so all being well I shall make The Other Partizan on Sunday🤞
