Charlie Foxtrot Garage

I finished this Garage a while ago but other things have gotten in the way of posting. I spent way too much time painting the roof in an attempt to match my 4Ground building, but alas it just kept getting darker. I should go out and buy some proper coloured roof paint rather than trying to mix it up myself. Its quite a nice little kit but I tried to add some extra detail in the way of a textured card to match my walls and some wooden detail around the roof section. I also made a gate for the walls using the damaged set of doors that come with the Garage. The floor was a happy accident when I put  some brown wash over the primer which looked horrible. I then resprayed it and then washed it with water and then put a wash over it. The can of paint is quite old so the texture turned out quite spotty.

I am working on other things at the moment and will probably get more of these buildings when I feel that I can fit them in to my painting queue.

Battle for Berlin- Tank Hunters and Characters

My Tank Hunter Squad comprises of a Junior Leader and four Hunters armed with Panzerfausts. They are a mix of Warlord and Great Escape Games figures. I did not organise the photos very well but you should be able to pick these out from the photographs. 

The Characters are more Command types plus a Scientist. He is an Artisan figure armed with a Luger but I also gave hime an MP40. I did not want to give him a white coat so copied the colour of my old Dust Coat I had when I was a trainee Technician with the Post Office. The SS officer in the Leather Coat comes from TAG and was a freebie. The old wounded Officer is from the Warlord Last Levy set. The familiar looking fellow with the little moustache is a conversion using a Bolt Action figure with a WestWind head and some Greenstuff. He also got a Pistol. I call him "The Dishevelled Dictator" who is trying to make his escape.
