WIP Wednesday

 Part of the kit challenge for April, a mix of manufactures. For the last two weeks working on plastics kits as the desire to paint is on a downshift at the moment due to jet lag from my rapid visit to Oz for my sons wedding. 

PSC plastic Lloyd carrier and 6pdr, plus resin frontline truck for my French civilians 

PSC 105mm guns a very basic kit

Hasegawa 155 long toms 

Thirteen kits completed of the goal of 16.

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

30 Day Kit Build Challenge part 3

 #30daykitbuildchallenge

The final week of the challenge I finally had some time to sit down and complete a lot of kits, all PSC which are simple, some I will revisit to add finer details and stowage when I return home to France. Again focusing on allied kit, but three german Styers also slipped in. For the first time I have not built a aircraft in the build although did pick up a box then put it back...... 

M1a1 Shermans for my yanks

British artillery, cabins left open until crew and vehicle painted

British trucks, like these a lot

Steyr heavy cars for my germans 

total week three 15

total count 24

30 day Kit Build Challenge week 1

 

 #30daykitbuildchallenge

Ok off to a crackings start but that is easy with PSC kits, although sometimes not the most accurate 1/72 kits on the market with actual scale off sometimes (a lot) and parts that are not correct (shermans) they do make kits that are really simple to put together, I purchased a lot of them last year on sale and they have been sitting in my kit cupboard ever since. I have elected to try to concentrate on Allied kit in this build, first up some british kit , stuarts, bren gun carriers, some trucks and a battery of 25lb guns, plus limbers, tractors. Then some shermans for my Free French, then onto some other bits I think, I have a bunch of Panzer IV to assemble Fijimi......purchased a long time ago.

Week 1 total 6 kits

Bren carriers, an easy simple build

Stuarts, love these, really like them

cheers
