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.

Rural Church

Rural Church

Battlefront will be releasing a rural church in their scenery range for Flames of War on the 26th May 2012. As you can see from the photograph this is for the Eastern Front. Looks very nice and goes well with the recent rural houses for the same geographical and historical era.

What I have noticed is a distinct lack of building releases for Normandy, there are quite a few buildings in the many photographs you see in the rule books and the two source books for the battle for Normandy. I wonder if the reason is that there are already a fair few companies out there already manufacturing nice resin 15mm buildings already? Having said that a fair few are also making Russian houses and churches too.

So are we going to see any terrain for Western Europe for Flames of War from Battlefront?

What do you think?

Ork Deffkopta

Within the Warhammer 40K boxed set are three very nice Ork Deffkoptaz.

I think that they look better in the flesh than in a photograph, are they are very much a three dimensional model.

They don’t look like they should be able to fly, but remember these are Orkish, if Orks believe that they will fly, then they will fly!

Thoughts on the ruins

I have been thinking about how I should paint the ruins that came with my Jagdpanther.

So far I have not been pleased with what I have done so far…

As a result I have been looking online and in Flames of War publications for ideas.

Finding this page on the Flames of War website made me realise I wasn’t going in the right direction with my model.

As you can see from the two examples they have done, there are quite a few things I need to do to my model.

I think I might need to start again!
