This particular model was a British delivery van, I sprayed it with some reddish brown primer, tore the tyre's off and then set too with watered down black paint. Once it looked suitably bad I dry brushed it with steel, I had some other bits and pieces laying around so added some of these to the base.
The idea is either to pop it beside a house as having been abandoned by the owner or as an objective marker, I have an idea if I get some more to possibly build up a hasty barricade with them.
I now really have reached the end of the line with my wargaming projects, and am struggling to come up with some ideas to while away a few hours of an evening. I could do some more terrain pieces i.e. gardens etc. to make the houses blend in on the battlefield a bit better rather than standing about fairly starkly.
I was hoping to have my Bolt Action V2.0 to read this weekend, however despite the newsletter informing me they were being shipped last Wednesday night and having paid express delivery I still do not have my copy, no one does seemingly, so I don't have a clue about the announcement.
I have a mate coming up from London in October for a weekends gaming, he is trying his best to kick start some Warhammer Ancient Battles and has offered to introduce me to WAB. I am very much a fan of War and Conquest and have regretted never getting into WAB when it was at its height, so I have ordered a copy of the rules from eBay, it is the least I can do as he is leaving the comfort of his soft Southern climes to venture to these Northern wilds to be defeated.
That's a nice little piece George. Bloody bargain for £1.50! Like you say, some of the "collectable" interwar vehicles go for stupid prices online.
ReplyDeleteI would really like a bus for a barricade, railway modeller shows might be a good place to look.
DeleteSuperb piece! Very atmospheric indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, yes it turned out alright.
DeleteA nicely done wreck there.
ReplyDeleteRe. BA V2, it would appear they have been shipping overseas orders first, going on posts on the WG forum.
They are talking already about being sold out and October for the next batch, despite again mentioning all pre-orders have shipped. In my 60's all my patience has been used up :)
DeleteI'm over 60 too, still have a little patience, just. Must admit that I can't but feel a little miffed to hear folk who ordered 3 days later than me have had there shipped notification, seems to be a lottery rather than any sense of order at Warlord.
DeleteI am completely confused as to when this rulebook is actually due out, today was trumpeted as the day for all the non pre-orders, but I still have not got mine and I am beginning to regret paying for express delivery because I am not getting it. It would seem to be a lottery. We are of course stuck having paid the money but it's not cricket or good customer service.
DeleteLovely job on the van George. It's a nice piece and no mistake.
ReplyDeleteThought about having a go at Bolt Action to help prevent me from actually completing any projects, but haven't been able to sell a kidney to afford V2. Think I'll stick to Chain of Command.
It is a hefty price tag Gary, but I am committed now. Personally I also prefer it as a game to CoC.
DeleteVery nice mate very nice
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon, maybe the next one will have 'up Stalin' on it for your Ruskies.
