About the Project

This is going to be a quick a project to get the battle of bulge starter set painted. A bit of background, I currently have some builders in to do some work and they saw my tiny fighting men and asked about them. I gave them the background and what it was all about and we got to talking about their interest in WW2, so I decided although I have to WW2 figures from Zero Two Hundred Hours, I don't really have anything like a bolt action army. So I decided to purchase the starter box and try and get table ready before they leave.

Primed all the mini’s with Sprue grey from TT combat, and then gave them a white zenith (all from rattle cans).

I have also assembled the armoured car as a Greyhound.
