95th Rifles

I really enjoyed both watching the Sharpe TV series and then reading the Sharpe books by Bernard Cornwell. As a result many years ago I bought some 25mm Napoleonic 95th Rifles, mainly on impulse with the intention of painting them at some point. Found them the other day…

The first thing I did was base them using two pence pieces and Citadel Sand.

I will be using them as they were in the Penisular War, so will be giving them gravelly bases with some brush grass.

15mm E-50

Having posted a few of Forged in Battle’s pictures earlier I had a look back at what other photographs they had posted. A month or so back they had posted their model of the E-50.

E-50

This was a future tank design that never got further than the drawing board.

Really liking these future models. It was nice to read on their Facebook page that they are going to make a British Centurion and possibly the Black Prince too.

15mm Soviet Tanks for 1946

Forged in Battle have released some photographs of new tanks to oppose the German super heavy tanks they have already shown.

T44

The T-44 was a medium tank first produced towards the end of the Second World War by the Soviet Union. It was the successor to the famous T-34. Fewer than two thousand T-44s were built, but the design became the basis for the T-54/55 series of main battle tanks, the most-produced tank of all time.

SU101

The SU 101 and SU102 were experimental Soviet propelled artillery units developed during World War II. Were created in the Uralmash design office in autumn 1944 – spring 1945 based on the chassis of medium tanks T-44 and T-34-85 and were intended to replace the SU-100. Despite the prospects and high performance for its time, with the end of the war, it was decided to terminate further work on them in connection with inexpediency deployment of new SPG based on tanks units of war period, are not fully met the requirements of the operating time of peace.
