Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought

I mentioned in a previous post that I had got some Prussian reinforcements. One of the three blisters I got was a second Blucher Class Dreadnought to complement the first one I have finished.

I did think about changing the turrets to generators, but in the end maintained the four turret model that I had done with the first one.

One of the reasons I write up how I paint my models, is partly to inform others, but also to inform myself. So I will be using the workbench feature I wrote up on the first model to paint this second model. It will remind me of the paints and processes I used.

Hussar Class Gunships

These three Hussar Class Gunships are reinforcements for my Prussians in Dystopian Wars.

After washing the resin, I glued the turrets to the three models.

I do like the fact that these turrets are not the same as the ones on the Blucher Class Dreadnought.

Humber Light Reconnaissance Car

The Humber Light Reconnaissance Car, also known as Humberette or Ironside, was a British armoured car produced during the Second World War. The vehicle was used by Infantry Reconnaissance Regiments and the RAF Regiment in Tunisia, Italy and Western Europe. After the war, some vehicles remained in service with the British units in India and in the Far East. The LRC was used widely by the Reconnaissance Corps and was also used by the Reconnaissance squadron of the 1st Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade Group.

Prussian Tower Set

Here is the Prussian Tower Set out of the blister pack.

For many years, the Prussian Empire has been able to intimidate neighbouring territories with their overwhelming strength and infectious influence. Their significance is perpetuated in their Tower Set – a menacing piece of architecture that will undoubtedly serve you well in battle.

You get the four variations included, Communication, Flak, Shield and Tesla.

Dystopian Wars Prussian Bunker

The Dystopian Wars Prussian Bunker is a large resin model.

I was surprised by the lack of detail on this model compared to other Dystopian Wars models I have in my collection. I suspect that this was intentional, especially for the Prussian Bunker which has a utilitarian feel to the model. The other bunkers for the other nations appear from the advertising material to be more “fancy”.

The Prussian Bunker consists of two pieces of resin, the roof and a hefty main structure.

You also get metal turrets.
