Well I am clearing the paint table and having shown the 2 Gepard last week here is another anti-aircraft vehicle. This time a Marder Mechanised Infantry Combat Vehicle used by the front line German infantry at this time but converted to carry "Roland" Ground to air missiles. This should make helicopter operations a little tricky for the opposition. Well maybe.
Additionally I have finished a battery of 6mm 1/300th scale Abbot 105mm self propelled artillery. A very versatile platform that is still in use today. Able to bring long range indirect fire on the enemy in a variety of forms but with high explosive and even smoke being the most common choices. 
Right that's enough talking the paint should be dry by now and I can get back to it.
All the best, take care Clint.
Setting yourself up for a post a day Clint? Great stuff. Love your 6mm painting and the bit of fluff you always put in about what they did/still do. Looking forward to Paint Monkey's 28mm models as well :-)
ReplyDeleteWell no more small stuff for a few more months due to the challenge and I am clearing the paint table ready for the big push. Thank you Blax.
DeleteI always liked the German Marder, Clint, and this is a good variant. You're building up a very nice army here.
ReplyDeleteI always like the Marder as well. As mentioned above put away till March now. Thank you Mate.
DeleteGreat stuff here.. still can't fathom doing 6mm pieces.. too tiny for me! Good luck with the rest of them mate!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mate. Long way from finishing these but have to move them to the back burner until the Challenge is over.
DeletePretty sure those arty are M109 155mm guns, not Abbots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out my error. It has been 25 years since I played with them so I am a little rusty. Cheers Mate.
DeleteThis is a rather splendid cold war collection you've had hidden away all this time Clint - lovely work Sir.
ReplyDeleteBack all those many years ago it is what we all used to play (well most of us anyway). Thank you Michael.
DeleteLovely work Clint! Especially at such a tiny scale.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob some WW1 German (dismounted) Cavalry tomorrow.
DeleteI'm no fan of the Marder, but the 105's, now that's a different story.
ReplyDeleteI still find it hardto believe that hese are so small - you cram so much detail into them.
Thank you Joe. I keep saying they are an easy thing to paint. No highlights and shading. Just basic colours an and INK wash. The bases take the longest to do though.
DeleteNice additions. You must have a sizeable force taking shape now.
ReplyDeleteIt's slowly getting there. I do have many more to come though. All my MBTs and Infantry and carriers.
DeleteThank you Simon
