Undercoating the Grot Tanks
The lunatic product of the deranged imaginations of grot riggers and scavs that have spent far too long basking in the insane genius of the Big Meks, Grots Tanks are diminutive armoured vehicles made to imitate the far larger Ork Wagons and Tanks.
The set contains four different variant chassis, tracks, exhausts and turrets as well as four fantastic Grot Tank Kommandaz and 5 different, incredibly shooty, weapon options.
I picked up a set of Grot Tanks on a recent visit to Warhammer World. After washing the resin, I then looked at the four main bodies and tracks deciding which was going to go with which. I then constructed and stuck the tanks together.

Flames of War Rolls Royce Armoured Car
So there I was flicking through the most recent copy of Wargames Illustrated when I noticed in the Hellfire and Back battle report a wonderful looking Rolls Royce Armoured Car.
I believe that this is a new model for Flames of War and hasn’t been released before by Battlefront.
I’ve always liked the Rolls Royce Armoured Car and though this is a desert version, wondering if it wouldn’t take much to convert it for Home Guard use. I would need to convert the turrets back from the open ones used in the desert to the older closed ones. Of course it would be nice if a non-desert version of the Rolls Royce Armoured Car was sold as part of Blitzkreig, but I am guessing it won’t be.
I like the Morris CS9 model too.

Looking good.

You have lots of options, including adding exhausts and weapons in a variety of ways.
The workbench feature on the Grot Tanks is broken down into four separate features, one for each of the Grot Tanks.
54mm Napoleonics
There were a few demonstration games on at Attack 2011 at Devizes and one of them was a very impressive 54mm scale Napoleonic game.
Constructing the Flames of War French Char B1 bis
The Char B1 was a French heavy tank manufactured before the Second World War. It was a specialised heavy break-through vehicle, originally conceived as a self-propelled gun with a 75 mm howitzer in the hull; later a 47 mm gun in a turret was added, to allow it to function also as a Char de Bataille, a “battle tank” fighting enemy armour, equipping the armoured divisions of the Infantry Arm.
Within the blister you get the resin hull and turret whilst the rest of the model is whitemetal.
Here are the three resin hulls lined up.
They are smaller than I expected.
For some reason I had this impression that the Char B1 was a really large tank. Well compared to other Early War tanks it is, however compared to Late War tanks it’s quite small. Continue reading “Constructing the Flames of War French Char B1 bis”

Making more of the Ork Kil Krusha
The next stage in making the Ork Kil Krusha was adding the drive shafts to each side. This is quite a complicated part of the model and it’s worth taking the time with a couple of dry runs before gluing them into place.
The model is now completed and just needs a white undercoat.
