I have the ruined row of three houses and the ruined row of four houses, from Total Battle Miniatures.
Having cleaned the models, I gave the inside of the models a black undercoat and then masked the inside of the windows (with masking tape) before I give the model a white undercoat on the outer side of the model.
The models were then given a white undercoat.

I have the Legends of the Old West rules and will be using them for games. I already have quite a few miniatures suitable for the Old West style game. One of the key things though is to also have some scenery. Have been tempted to get some resin buildings, but when I saw this plastic kit from Perry Miniatures thought this could be good. It’s 1/56th scale to suitable for 25/28mm miniatures.
Having constructed the building I gave it a white undercoat.

A veteran of World War I, in the 1920s and 1930s de Gaulle came to the fore as a proponent of mobile armoured divisions, which he considered would become central in modern warfare. During World War II, he reached the temporary rank of Brigadier General, leading one of the few successful armoured counter-attacks during the 1940 Fall of France, and then briefly served in the French government as France was falling.
Charles de Gaulle is available for Flames of War and comes with a Somau S35 objective. The blister contains the metal parts and resin objective.
The base for De Gaulle is quite simple, De Gaulle, a staff officer and a motorcycle combination.
The most challenging part of this base is the motorcycle combination. At one point I did consider leaving it off entirely….
Has certainly put me off buying any French motorcycle combination platoons!
The Somau S35 objective was much easier to put together.

Battlefront today announced details about their new starter set, Achtung! and as rumoured it comes with plastic Shermans and Stugs.
The Daimler Scout Car, known in service as the “Dingo” (after the Australian wild dog), was a British light fast 4WD reconnaissance vehicle also used in the liaison role during the Second World War.
The Flames of War blister comes with three of them. I gave the vehicles a basecoat of Warpaint British Armour. I started to paint the wheels using German Grey (995), I might add some black to the mix though.

When the advanced technology of the Tank Hunters’s Laser Destroyer malfunctions, or is damaged in battle the Adeptus Mechanicus often re-gun the the Tank Hunter with a different weapon. A common converison is to replace the damaged Laser Destroyer with a Demolisher cannon, to fill the role of the Demolisher.

After speculating about plastic Sherman tanks for Flames of War and finding that in the end they were resin, I have heard a new rumour that the new third edition starter set, Achtung! due to be released on the 28th April will contain plastic Shermans and Stugs.
