About the Project
Battlefront have launched Late War for Flames of War.... It's the FoW Bootcamp weekend.... and I can't be there... I hate my job sometimes.... So I thought I'd join in the fun remotely. This project will follow my FoW army build and units as they come along (Now this is Take 2 as I tried this late last year and the idea got swamped by other goings on aka shiny syndrome)

Weekender Viewing Update
Whilst watching the weekender this morning, decided to break out the airbrush and get some layers down on the armour with the Mig Olive Drab modulation set. Quite happy with the result so far
Mid-War Infantry done...
Exactly as the title says, the infantry part of my Fighting First armoured rifles platoon is finished…… I never thought they would take this long! 😀
(only have another 3 platoons to do for my Late War US….)
Now, time to crack on with the real part of the army….. some armour…..
The full platoon
HQ, Rifles and LMG teams
Rifles, Mortar and LMG Teams
Rifle and Bazooka teamsWhat happened??
Well, I think it’s safe to say I dived headlong into this one!
I had intended to be at my first FoW event today taking my mid-war Fighting First Tank Destroyer Company for it’s virgin outing, but life (work) got in the way…
Anyhow, here’s a few pics – all vehicles basecoated with Mig Ammo Olive Drab Dark Base and some with a follow up of Olive Drab Base. I managed to finish a few stands of infantry from the Armoured Rifle Platoon off today, with the rest still WIP…..
And I haven’t started on the Late war stuff yet, although I did get my D-Day Americans book and Command Cards this afternoon so will have a good rummage through that later!
Not content with my Mid-War Tank Destroyer army....
Late War US begins.... (courtesy of the OTT shop)Some progress, some sideways and some backwards...
A week later…
Managed to get the crew of the Halftracks painted up, however after having a look at the rifle platoon under the magnifiers I found they were covered in mould lines/slight miscasts so need to go back and clean them up before hitting them with paint again.
In the meantime I also built and basecoated an M10 Tank Destroyer (Wolverine) platoon, also built the M36 Jackson turrets as well so I can swap them out later on. All the turrect are magentised as I find this makes storage and movement easier as opposed to the turret pegs that have a tendency to fall out.
Waiting for the basecoat to dry on the M10s then I can crack on with layering up the paint alongside the halftracks in one batch…. meanwhile back to cleaning up the riflemen…
First unit underway...
First unit I’m working on is a US Armoured Rifle Platoon.
Halftracks have been assembled, then along with the infantry primed in good ol’ Halfords grey primer (automobile primer if you’re out in the colonies).
The infantry have been airbrushed with a basecoat of Vallejo Khaki, whilst the halftracks have been given coats of Mig Ammo Olive Drab Dark Base and Olive Drab Base…. more paint to follow later…
