What, no AAR? Nope not today. Tim was going to put on a beneath the Lilly Banners Game on but due to family problems was unable to attend. SO I was invited into 2 other games but just could not get my act together enough to get involved, so I didn't. 
So I went home and repainted and rebased some old cold war figures. Those of us of a certain "Vintage" will recognise the German armoured car known as the "Luchs" or Lynx in English. Pictured to the right is a real one. It's not a fluffy cat by the way as you can see it's an 8 wheeled armoured car.
Here are 4 of my own. The real one is to show the camouflage and the model ones are to show what it looks like on the table top. You may remember that a few months ago I finished my cold war Russian Desant troops and know as you can see I have started my German troops. If you follow this LINK It will take you to the Wiki page and you can read all the details of it if you wish.No Not quite the same photo, this one is at a slightly Higher angle and the flash has caught the side of one of them. (Naughty flash naughty).
The vehicles are Heroics and Ros who are still going and are in 6mm or if you prefer 1/300th scale. (1mm to the foot in old scale terminology).
There are plenty more to do but I had to start somewhere and reconnaissance just made sense.
That's it folks, thanks for looking today. All the best Clint
Gutted no AAR, but not as much as for you attending a meeting and not even having a game. Nothing like a bit of camo therapy though to turn a bad day into a good one :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish to stress I was offered a choice of games but declined them both. On different days I would have accepted them but yesterday just did not feel right.
DeleteThanks Blax
There are some days when a chap just needs to go home and paint some armour - and jolly nice they are too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael.
DeleteNice work Clint!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray and Congrats on the win on Saturday.
DeleteLovely job Clint!
ReplyDeleteCheers Bob
ReplyDeleteSo the stars weren't alignedfor a game but they were for some painting ? I think that that's a win in some form or other in any event.
ReplyDeleteI do like these models and your paint-job on them, they're very reminiscent of the similar wehrmach ones.
Thanks Joe. Yes there is a similar feel to the WW2 German Armoured cars.
DeletePainting more toys still counts as progress, even if we don't always get to use them. It does, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI Would say so C6 thank you
DeleteNice job on the cars Clint. I still cant quite imagine how small those really are!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mathyoo. If it helps these are on 20mm x40mm bases. Next time I will put something in to scale them for you.
DeleteNice work Sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hobbyworker
