Update time. US armoured almost finished, time for some decals. I always use Microscales Micro Sol and Micro Set. No need for instructions as you can see them on you tube. I used battlefront decals from the blister pack and various boxes. Miniatures are from Battlefront and Plastic Soldier Company.

And for the close up.

As you can see you do not get the shiny finish. Ok 25 more to do. Let me know what you think

Back again with another review. This time Battlefield in a box Streams. Picked these up at Salute 2014. Sadly I have been unable to get the rivers so I made do. 2 packs of flock as usual and 6 sections of streams. the water could have had a little more colour but I will add that later.

The sections are well packaged and fit together well.

For the size comparison I have added a MERCS miniature, Flames of War stand and 6mm Baccus British Napoleonic foot. as you can see it will offer no challenge to a 28mm miniature but smaller scales will need to ford the stream. Overall really pleased however the lack of stock of rivers has made me pick these up.

Bastogne Church

Hi all
Happy Easter. I have been busy so I apologise for the short delay in posts.
I recently visited Salute and picked up the Bastogne Church from Stafford Games. Small plug for Stafford games, Roland has been very helpful with my requests and gets the items sent quick and safely every time. On to the review.

At first I thought the paint job was a bit poor, but looking at the box pictures its not too bad. It will need a bit of touching up but overall I am pleased. It will add a centre piece to my table.

The reverse side. I will have to get a priest from the Peter Pig range to fit on the steps.

It stands over 8.5'' 21.5 cm high. 8'' long 20.5 cm.

American Airborne in the Church for a size comparison. 

Overall really pleased with my purchase. It will need a bit of paint on the edges of the roof but it feels sturdy and will look great once surrounded by the other houses from Battlefield in a box. Cant see anyone shifting infantry from this bad boy. let me know what you think.

Vietnam Sale part 2

Hi all. Just got home from work and I was welcomed by the second half of my Battlefield Vietnam order. I ordered these within a few hours of the sale starting. 40% is a no brainer

6 UH1D slicks another box of M113s and the command vehicle. Still awaiting some Pattons.

I can't wait to get started on these but 6mm Napoleonics first. I will add some photos soon.

Attached is a picture of my usual game table. Set up for flames of war. I will get some close ups of terrain and minis over the next week or so.
Also a look at my purchases from salute 2014.
