Panzer Aufklärerläufer 1-A “Heinrich”

A new spring… The flowers are blooming and a new year with better air protection is at hand.

I give you the latest model in the German recon and anti air arsenal, the Panzer Aufklärerläufer 1-A “Heinrich” armed with a FlakVierling 2cm cannon.

I just thought I should test some new techniques and had a spare model to do it on. It turned out great. And it was lots of fun to paint.




The model is from Dust tactics

Panzer KampLaüfer

This model have been on my ”to get list” for some time. 

I finally got me a Panzer KampfLaüfer.
The model is from Dust tactics.
In the box you get an basic Pz. KpfL. but with a variety of different weapon options.
As I don’t play the Dust tactics game I chose a weapon option on my own.

The model is painted in German ww2 “ambush pattern”.

The Pz. KpL Commander on the picture above is on her smoke brake. The model is from Darkson Design AE: WWII line.
Take a special notice to the cotton smoke from her cigarette.

My other smaller German mechas each got a pinup girl as a mascot, on this I went in another direction.
The mascot for the big Pz.KpL I chose Piglet and if my googel-fu is not mistaken is “Ferkel” in German.

Number one, scuba diver

Ladys (as if...) and gentlemens, I give you Hans the Hunter.

I realy realy like this model and to paint him. Many thanks to the sculptor.
Im not totaly happy with the outcome of the grass, but dont know if I will fix it.

The miniature is "Hans the Hunter" from West Winds, Secrets of the third reich game.

Iron man

Here we have 2 british light mechas I converted, the problem is that I dont have any british miniatures to acompany them, I gueas I could get som paras later on.

My story is that the aircraft company De Havilland won a military contract to produce a light weight mecha that would be able to be droped from the air. They are therefore constructed in aluminium (you can se the silvery color were the paint is damaged), two small jetengines from De Havilland is mounted on the back of the mecha do alow it dropp from air and give it a limited ability do do jumps on the battle field. Its not able to do a regular flying as they lack a large enough gasoline tank.

They are painted and marked acording to RAF standard. They are equiped with a light assault rifle for self defense and a larger primary weapon. One of them is equiped with a larger .50cal version of the famous Bren gun (1/35 is to big for 28mm) and the outher one is equiped with a dubble bareled belt fed version of the Vickers K machinegun http://www.justordinarymen.org.uk/custom/Vickers_G.O..jpg

They are intended to be used in Secrets of the third reich.

When I was painting these I noticed that I was humming the melody to "Iron man", so I cant be totaly sane…
The original model is from a Japanes toy/model.

Maschine Krieger

Here we have my Maks, Maschine Kriegers

They are armed with a 3,7mm Flak gun in there left arm and got a stg44 for self defence.
The automatic cannon Is loaded with magazines on its left side. One of the MaK:s Is about to reload. I haven’t decided with ammunition it should be (the color on the bullet, high explosive, tracer and so on..) 



Unfortunate I didn’t get as good pictures as I would hope. The dirt, damages and the rust didn’t turn out that munch on the photos.
