The Road to Falaise Bobs on going 15mm WW2 Adventure

Well it’s the weekend after bootcamp and have being sorting stuff out and buying additions , a visit Friday night to Asgard games , came out with two tanks Sherman’s M4A3 Sherman’s and a Priest, then had a day out to Burton and Spirit Games ( Recomend the Micro-Pub about 50 yards down the road) and brought another Priest and a Puma from Tanks , plus a box of PSC M5 Stuart’s and  Bren carriers.

Today I finished the decals on Sherman’s from Bootcamp.

I then started putting the decals on my Germans including 3 PSC Panzer IV’s left unfinished a few years back. Taking a bit more time , so have just put crosses on so far, will let micro sol set them and will then put on company no,s and Panzer Lear division signs on later.

Above are both models by the two manufacturers, likewise I have built one of both companies M5 Stuart’s and below are the models for comparison.

The Battlefront are slightly easier to build in both cases, but you do generally get a wider selection of variants with PSC, saying that with the Stuart you get the option for the M8 HMC , though no instructions. Post build the hull front with the two vision slits as it allows a free traverse.

As I already have one troop of M5’s finished by PSC think the Battlefront ones will be completed as Americans with the PSC being British.

In addition I built the M4A3 with both turrets and added the side armour plates for late war version

I later found some unfinished Panthers lacking decals so.

Plus again a Battlefront and PSC for comparison.Battlefront on left.

Well I’m back home with my tank painted with many of the photos already on the website in the Forums.

By the time I had finished I had painted all my tanks and a couple of extras for both sides which have been shown in both video and photo blogs.By the end I had finished one U.S Tank Company and its HQ. I already had a platoon of U.S 101st Airborne from the previous Open fires starter box . In addition I had the two platoons of Germans finished and the Pak 75’s with crew.

At the Bootcamp I brought the stuffed British Starter Box so stuffed the box bulges, a box fairly popular over the weekend , even with Lloyd. which I will use to add to my partly finished troops of 11th Armoured Division, but as I put a dent in my Americans and Germans decided to finish both their armoured forces, and the 2nd platoon of 101st airborne. I’ve added a few items to the mix from e-bay so buy the time I’ve finished I will have 3 U.S armoured platoons  of Shermans and a HQ plus a mixed unit of M10’s and M36’s and for really later war some Pershings, brought for a Tanks project started years ago.

Now have added decals to Americans, For those in Siberia or not watched the blogs from weekend I put a few of my shots of the the above on the OTT teams amazing tables.
