Smoke Dischargers

I’ve decided to make some smoke dischargers for the Hornet & for a Bren carrier. 

I used some plastic tubing, plastic angle & some Warlord Games British Plastic Enfield Rifles

I’m not quite sure where exactly I will put the ones on the hornet yet though

 & I don’t have it with me to try it either. 

K47 Hornet Medium Walker

I’ve started building a Hornet for my Konflikt 47 Brits.
But I’m not keen on how the armoured plate is configured at the rear (as can be seen on the pictures above from the Warlord Games site), so I have altered it and added more of them from a square flat plastic base, I still have a few rivet/bolt heads to add.

 

 I will also add some front & rear plates to the shoulder Pauldrons,

This will make it look like there is more protection to the joints. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Sherman Troop

Ive finally finished my Troop of shermans for WW2 gaming, Bolt Action, Konflikt 47 & hopefully What a Tanker. 

They are all plastic kits from Warlord games, a Sherman M4, a Sheman V & a Sherman V “Firefly”. 

There are a few descrepancies between the older M4 kit and the newer V kits, 

but not too noticable (unless you look really hard) & adding the Commander from the V kits helps. 

Ive cocked up the  Squadron markings though 🙄

As they are supposed to be Guards Armoured & 

they put them on the hull rather than the turret ☹️

But im not changing them now 😁

Well this is my third attempt to post this, so fingers crossed it will post. 

Hope whoever is still reading my blog likes these

Cheers

US Sherman Tank

I found stashed in a box, a long discarded project a few weeks ago.

This resin Sherman had been bascoated, highlighted & shaded,

with the transfers applied & some washes applied.

As I never completed a US Army (I didn't like painting them & sold it a long time ago!)

I'm surprised that I ever started it!

 



Anyway I thought that I would give it some love & finish it off.

Might just have to go off to eBay though as I wont be painting any US troops.

 

 

 



Rift Grenadiers Finished

Finished painting the Rift Grenadiers, painted the same as standard British Infantry.

The lenses on the resperators have been painted red to represent IR lenses

Bolt Action/K47 Artillery Observer

Been working on a Artillery observer for my Bolt Action/K47 army.

 

 

I decided to base him hiding behind a wall made from 2mm plastic strips,

using the same techniques that I have used before

 

 

The wall was painted using a base coat of Vallejo Hull Red,

 highlighted with various red browns & orange browns.

Followed by a wash of beige & re-highlighted

 

Some bricks have also been washed with Army painter strong tone to add variation to the bricks

 

 



6pdr Anti Tank Gun

I've been painting up a 6pdr AT Gun for my Konfikt 47 force.

I found this in the lead pile (I had completely forgotten that I had it!!)

I think it could be from Battle Honors Miniatures but I'm not sure, 

as I bought it second hand & the Battle Honors website doesn't have very many pictures!

TURNS OUT IT'S FROM BLACK TREE DESIGN, IT DIDN'T EVEN CROSS MY MIND AS I DID NOT THINK THAT THEY MADE ONE (WHO KNEW!)
 

I have used the same method as previous posts for making & painting the wrinkly tin (using fizzy drink cans & a homemade press)
 

 

 

 

 

Hope you all like it

Cheers

K47 Reinforcements

 

Finished up some reinforcements for K47, Basic troops will do for Bolt Action as well.

 

I'm still not spending a lot of time on stuff as I'm wanting to get 1250pts painted pretty quickly.

 

As well as the troops above, I have some more Automatons

 

 

An Automated Carrier, I love this model,

I think it must be my favourite in the K47 range.

It still needs matt varnishing though

 

I've also taken a picture of a figure that I painted a while ago that I don't think I've shown before

 

 

Cheers keith









REME pin marker finished

 

 

 

Well I've managed to get the newest pin marker finished for K47/Bolt action.

 

He has been painted wearing denims,

an overall type of battle dress that tended to be a greener shade than regular battle dress.

 

 

 

 



Another New Pin Marker

Just finished making a new pin marker for K47/Bolt Action.

Its supposed to represent a REME Engineer,
holding (swinging) an adjustable spanner made from plasticard.

The figure is a plastic British inafantryman with all the webbing removes & a Warlord Games metal 

SAS head wearing a beret & goggles. 

I made most of the tools from plasticard & bits of brass rod.

The screw driver was made from plastic coated wire & the tool box is plastic box section.

The wooden box is a resin cast that I had, I don’t know the manufacturer though.

I also added a spare upper arm section from a K47 British Atomaton, if I can find a suitably small bolt I will add that, somewhere, to the base as well
I think that the only thing that is really missing is a mug o tea 😁

750pts For Konflikt 47

 

Just finished 750pts for the Weird War 2 game Konflikt 47

 

 

I had already painted the HQ figures & the Infantry Figures are Warlord Games plastic infantry, with TAG metal rifles instead of the plastic ones. I don't think that the painting is as good as I normally do, as I wanted to actually be able play a game before next year!!!!

 

 

The AT rifle is the one that I have previously posted

 

 

These WWW2 figures are from the Warlord K47 range Automated Infantry with MMG's.

The Automated Infantry are a pain to put together but worth it, I think they are my favourite models

 

Next up is a squad of Galahad Armoured Infantry all armed with LMG'S

 

 

Next is my version of a Guardian Light Walker.

I'm too tight to buy an official one, especially when I have some 1:35 scale Melusine MaK suits that would do the job. All I had to do was add a 50cal HMG another MMG on the right arm & cobbled together a flame thrower out of 40k weapons for the left arm & add a light from an old Ork dreadnought, some old Ork shoulder pads & a Visor/Window from a bit of plasticard.
