Moving down the track…
Noticed today that the armoured train on the front of the Flames of War website has been slowly moving down the track…
Very neat and clever, changing the picture on a daily basis to reveal more of the armoured train.
Undercoating the Shermans
Having put the Shermans together the next stage was a white undercoat.
These Sherman tank miniatures come in the Open Fire Flames of War starter set
See the full workbench feature on these Sherman tanks.
Fantasy Building
This wonderful Fantasy building was on display at GamesDay 2006. There is some wierd undead type thing on the roof.
Captain America Trailer
The first trailer is out for Captain America
Looking good.
Flames of War Armoured Train
Pictures have emerged of the Polish Armoured Train that will be released for Flames of War.
Having seen these I am wondering about how Battlefront will do the track (if at all). Those who have looked into this will release that 15mm or 1/100th scale trains use a TT scale track which isn’t easily available (unlike OO/HO or N gauge track).
Flames of War Barricades – 26th February
The Flames of War Barricades that were a sneak peak I mentioned back in December are to be released on the 26th February.
Really nice pieces of scenery.
Though released for the Eastern Front (Stalin’s War) I think they should work fine of the streets of most French towns. Now who does a 1/100th scale Citroen I can add to the barricade?
Basecoating the Mega-Dread
So after undercoating the model, the next stage was the basecoat.
I sprayed the model with a can of Humbrol dark brown spray paint. The model was purposely not sprayed to catch lower parts that would miss the spray to enable the black undercoat to act as shadow.
See the full workbench feature on the Ork Mega Dread.
Arriving March…
Well look what we have here arriving in March from Flames of War…
Yay, armoured trains! Probably the Polish armoured train from the sneak peek.
No more information, just the photograph, so no details about what is available or cost. Hopefully they will be doing track as well as the trains, seems obvious from the photograph, but you never know…
As well as Blitzkreig there is also Stalin’s Europe, so we might see Russian and German armoured trains in the future.
What we won’t see of course is the British armoured trains that were used following the success of Operation Sealion…
DUKW
I really do like the new Flames of War DUKW models.
I’ve always liked the DUKW and this model does capture that bizarre look that the DUKW has. Pity they are US versions, the British used 2000 of them during World War Two. Well certainly might buy a section and add some Brits to it as a conversion.
