Back to work on my FJS.

Since i have my Guards Armor TT ready.I decided to re vist my Fjs.I order a  quad flak set.Somehow they inspred me to srart painting them again or it may have been to much Hippie smoke.But anyways i managed to finish my infantry platoons three total,Scout platoon,FAust Tank Hunters and my HQ and 2IC ,The models Von Der Hydte and Koch.For some strange reason i kinda like the Koch model.I got 2 of them but i like using them as GLider pilots.Another thing is that i did find a LW Operation that used Gliders as a Spear head Assualt.So eventually i will be adding some Gliders.I know this summer we are going to be doing some Island hoping and it will feature 2 Allied vs. 2 Axis in the MTO.One thing to is that the 327th will be using their Wacos for Deployment.i have some Homebrew rules for them.Well here is some updated piks on what have been working on.Order of piks,Scout with STGs,I know they are supposed to be rifles but the SS Infantry scouts get stg so why not for the FJs.Still counts as rifles.next Hero warrior teams and a Quad flak.
 Well take care for now. i will be updating again next week.now off to paint Engineers.  Tanks for viewing....

Guards Armor,almost done...

I got the Armor done just need to add a few things,but good enough for the TT.Starting here in the next few days i will be getting my Lorried Infantry company sorted and mounted on bases.Also i will be texturing my Fj bases.As for the FJs i am using the Bridge by Bridge list with aliitle bit of options for Normandy FJ 6.
  Piks in order,Recon element.SP guns(Anti Tank Achilles and Sexton Sps.)Engineering jeeps with Trucks and for the Open fire Sherman Platoons.Not pictured are 25lbers and Bofors,SO overall i think that this is a pretty decent Company.for help with the objectives i will be using Lorried Infantry. Also this is the first time i used weathering effects.I used the  Vallejo AFV weathering set.i liked how it turned on the tracks.This set is kinda expensive but i think well worth it.A bgr Tanks to the wife for getting me the set for xmas.especially after last weeks  temperatures,-35 Brrrr...with over a foot of snow...To damn F#!%ING  COLD..i can deal with zero fine.but great painting weather.
