A carry-over from WWI era, heres a pair of old rusty Renault FT-17s awaiting the new-fangled PzIs to attack. These are micro-machines, and very nicely to scale with v1 AAM minis.

These T-26 Super Pershings also had a dual spring support to help hold-up and steady the gun, and a counterweight on the rear of the turret to ease the strain on the traversing gears.

(I love ithis obscure stuff)

Man, those Tigers are NICE!

More “Rush rienforcements” for my own game. These are Hotwheels micro-machine Sturmtigers and Panther Fs. Brumbars are “Classis Armor” by New millenium toys (all are 1:144 scale).
  These would be more of a “generic” paint job on these. 1 drybrushing step ommited, only 2 color treads and single color tool handles and such.
Original paint schemes preserved, just darkened in, inked, and highlighted.

Well, that sounds much easier, I think I’ll try that on one and see how it looks, thanks.

I had 2 Panther 2 chassis from Milton Bradley “Tank Battle” game, but had some extra turrets. I decided I would not normally need to use the Coelian, Bergepanther, AND the command version all at the same time, and could live with fielding up to 2 of them in any combo. If I dont use either of the 3, then I can still get 2 more normal Panthers into the game.
  The Bergepanther I had to cheat on, and make the spades connected to the back of the superstructure, so it would remove with it. I may still crew the superstructure of that. But these being 1:144 scale, any A&A guys would look like monsters, and actual 144 crew would look like shrimps. In front of the Bergepanthers superstructure is a “false opening” some thin blackened plastic, to give the illusion that the front driver/gunner hatch plate is gone (its not used on the bergepanther). I used the same black plastic to make the box-like superstructure appear to go down into the hull, where pullies and gears are visable too. Front MG added to glassis plate top, as the extra mechanics of the tank take up the normal gunners position. The Bergepanther is my fav of the bunch.

SD250s & Sd222’s combined to make these, plus 1 marder.

Of course, I dont have any actual Brenn Guns, so Vickers guns had to do, but they fit quite neice. Crew are from Brit MG team (previously cannibalized for the guns, I knew the chopped-up gunners would be worth saving for something) and some of the Rats crew are from the HQ unit.
  All have treads paintes rust orange with black/brown ink mix over that, then silver added. Chassis have fender and hull rust, as well as weathered-over insignias.
  3x Desert Rats Valentines and 3x Rats Crusaders to come soon.

Thanks. I have been known to use pennies as bases too. Especially if you go out an look for something to make bases out of, they all cost more than $0.01 each. Heck, bingo chips work good too, but they cost more than $0.01 too, lol. I paint and use pennies for all sorts of markers, including: Land mines, newly made shell craters, tank obstacle bases, etc. Odds are, whatever you mount on top of the pennies are worth more than the pennies themsleves. Since they arent worth saving to use at the store, I save a HUGE jar of pennies for all sorts of uses (anything except currency). I usually do my war games on 5/8 inch hex maps, and I couldnt get by without all my pennies. I just thought of a new use, too. I like to be able to blow up the buildings I put out on a map, and I bet I could glue thick grey felt to them, and have removable buildings?
  I imiagine your using them for bases also provides a very stable piece, which wont tip over.

yes ill send an email.

The pieces are in the original bags… Axis and Allies pieces do not come on sprues unless your talking Milton Bradley

To anyone who has wondered where the heck I have gone, and why I am not posting, its due to mother nature. We have already had a years worth of rain so far, and the ground is so saturated that even a slight drizzle causes our basement to flood. Its been completely flooded every weekend, and all I do is clean, clean, clean.

Hey, looks good! I’m a “black & grey guy” myself. Good to see another person posting here.

Rodney with help from Hood and Atlanta. This one was tough.

simple mod of a Washington and some repainting.

Not to worry, it wasnt taken as a negative. Over in the “other” forums “scale” is kind of an issue. And an issue that a lot can not agree on.

From true north minis (they have some cool smaller country WWII stuff at www.truenorthminis.com).
Metal die-casts, they do require a good bit of mold-line removal and other filing, but have good detail. They seem to be a great scale match to v1.0 units.

This is when she had the green decks. She did not have swastikas at that time, but they look good and were requested.
