World War 20mm – A Battlegroup Endless Project

A few WW2 20mm bits done over the summer…

Last few infantry pieces for my Winter Yanks… 60mm Mortar and an OP team!

Then a Soviet Lendlease Valentine tank…

A German Grille SPG for Italy…

…and the first batch of British in shirts and trousers for service in Tunisia and Italy… or anywhere warm around the Med!

My first attempts at 1/72 3d printed models from the Night Sky licence held by PSC.

First a Panzer IV/70(A), a jagdpanzer design I’m always fond of as it looks so daft!

Next an Alkett produced Sturmgeschütz III with Sauköpf mantlet and waffle pattern zimmerit…

All in all, very pleased with the look and detail of the prints. Certainly saves alot of building time over kits, but the open hatch option is key.

While obsolete to the Allies, the Red Army had a fondness for the Valentine tank and it was kept in production to supply them. Often used as a recce tank, they saw service right till the end of the war on Europe.

1/72 PSC kit, with added Smoke Dischargers and fuel tank with AB crewman…

It’s an addiction, I can’t go too long with doing some field grey…

Another useful German with box who will be good for set dressing and joing the other Loader Team models.

First batch of US vehicles done…

As the next Battlegroup books is on the war in Italy, a quick test to see how ‘Italian’ the board can look with the scenery we have to hand…

A few more dipped Yanks… a light mortar, another medium mortar, another MG Team and a useful chap to act as a spotter!

Possibly the second to last batch of US Infantry figures that need doing…

This time a Comms Relay Team, a FAO, an MMG Team and a Bazooka Team (with a greatcoat wearing chap painted as if  he is wearing the olive Drab rain anorak occasionally seen worn in Normandy at the start of the campaign).

All by AB Figures as usual!
