50th Infantry Division Tyne tees part 3

50th Infantry Division Tyne tees part 3 artillery 


 

Back working on my Tyne Tees, last month you may recall I built four priests. Two of these will join my Tyne Tees Northumberland regiment along with some towed 25 pounders. I competed the crew this eeek in preparation for the vehicles being completed over the weekend. 

First up gun crews and drivers, figures are all PSC crews. 




Then some Bren crew for the OP

Wehrmacht horse drawn harness

  I have been messing around with some German horse transport recently and I wanted to get some photos of some museum examples of German horse harness for the small trailers (jigs as we call them in Australia). So when I was on tour this week with guests I managed to snap a few at the DDay experience museum. I will pass these onto Dan who is adding 3d files for us crazy Wargamers so I can have the correct harness!

Book Review :- Flak, A photo study of German anti-aircraft weapons

 Look what arrived in the post today! 

I have had this on preorder for some time and I am very excited to see it arrive with my friendly postie! 

A lot of first time photos for me, as the book starts with Machine guns through to the big stuff and Rockets. Lots of great photos of flak wagons, and truck mounted pieces including a few rare ones.

I was particularly interested to see the more unusual MG mounts, the Flak 20, 37 and 88 position layouts, with ammo, reference for the crew etc and the remote controlled rockets.

Looking forward to modelling some of these beasts over the coming year. 



Cheers

Fallschirmjager support elements

 Off the desk actually more than two weeks ago but managed to get some photos today while packing away and cleaning up my desk for the next project. 28mm Warlord metal miniatures much better than the plastic offerings. 


Tripod MG 42



81mm mortar 


120mm mortar
