Guards armor Update.

Here lately i have been still working on my Guards Armor.Little bit here and there.I recently ordered a Carrier set.I was hopi

ng that it came with all of the weapon options,but sadly it did not.So now i have to  convert 2 50 cal carriers and 2 Piat Carriers.i have the 50 cal.s done but now i have to build the Piat carriers.What stinks is that now i have to buy 2 or 3 SOds for the Piat bit.The only vehicle that i found that has the bit.
 Here is a couple of piks with the 50 cal. I have 2 but the 1st. one did not turn out as nice as the 2nd one.
  when get around to building the Piat ones i will be using the same set up as i did for the 50 cals.

More Xmas 2013 Buildings..

 I went ahead and bought the rest the buildings in the set.now i have a decent selection,to start working on.Here soon for the first part iwill start on mounting them and putting filler around them to bae them.the building on the far lft is the train station in first pik.as i progreess along i will be giving the names of the new ones.In the pik is a few of my buildings as you can tell they are from various x mas village sets.bought over the years.

Christmas Village Conversion part 2 (cool Cheap Terrain)

If you remember last year i converted and panted some xmas village buildings over for FOW thy look pretty close to 15mm.Yesterday i was at my local Wal mart and guess what they are back and wth a new product line.This year it is 2 story buildings for a 1.50$.Wal mart also has Trees for .75 to 2.00 a piece or a pack for around 8$.They even have some Brick road vinly strips 24 inches for. 3.00$.
   The FActory paint jobs kinda suck on some the so ill be basing and repainting them. keep your eyes open at your local Department store because you can find some nice cheap terrain for a really good price.I remember also thatAncient Society was doing the same thing last year to and i really liked his GAzebo. Tanks for now.keep yours eyes on this article because i will be updating it.

British armor painting update.

I started on painting up some more of my Brit armor up.in its non historical paint jobs.i am trying to atleast match up the paint with what i got.My nearest paint seller is 40 miles away and i am currently in the poor house.
  The Infanrty are going to be my Armored platoon.i am also going to be putting some Camo jackets on them to help ID them seperately frommy Lorried Rifles.here is link to the JAcket that i am modeling mine after.Also since the JAcket was fielded in small numbers works great for them being a Motor Platoon.
  So here is a few piks ,leave a comment on telling me what you think of the colors please. http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30096055 

 

Here is my PSC review for the Stuarts

     I pick this set up for my Guards Armor project.After seeing a few other reviews that were mostly good,i figured what the hell.In most of the other reviews they size them up with the BF Stuarts they seemed over scaled..But here lately i have noticed that some BF models tend to be under scale.After a already owning and assembling several PSc kits the new style  were a welcomed break from the old Style tracks.Also one of the good things is that they also give you a option for Cullin Cutters. They are probably going to end up on Shermans that i am working on.Over all i am very pleased with theese tanks.For assembly they went together quite smooth.I just added a BF tanker for Command tank.They match up well with my BF Shermans. i beleive that theese are more tru scale than the BF model.In the piks i have a BF resin and a Open fire Sherman.If i ever decied to play American tanks again i would buy a Company of theese.But i think one of our players may beat me at it since he is Building a 2nd Cav list.. So overall i would give this kit a 8 out of ten overall. good buy i bought my kit for 27$ shipped. from NWS online store.I recommend this store alot of good deals.They sell BF,PSC, ZVEzda and FIB models and use the USPS standerd rates for shipping.  

    Till next time, TAnks for reading.

I thought i would share this blog,Since this player seems to be my British Counter part..Why is he my counterpart we seemed to play the same armies.   http://breakthroughassault.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/the-artse-of-building-guards-armoured.html.
