Armoured Artillery Battery

Painted up some M7 Priest's, staff team, command team and the M4 Sherman observer from the 7th armoured box set. Now i only need to finest the platoon with 3 more Priests.

Just got some new chairs, which seems to be the perfect light box :-D

I just painted rank chevrons onto my men, after a lot of research on how the ranks were in a platoon. Turned out quite nice, even though i had my worries that I couldn't paint such small detail.

 Only thing I need is to give the bases a lot of empty shells, and repaint the green finer tubes to black.

M4A3 76mm Shermans

Finished up a platoon of M4A3 76mm Shermans. Finally bought some matt varnish, so i could finish my figures and get some pictures.

Yeah you are probably wondering where the fifth tank is. The tanks are from the 7th armoured army box, there's only 4 M4A3 76mm and normal 75mm and only 3 Jumbos. But what the hell, how often are you using more than 3 jumbos in a game? So stay tuned for more tanks from this box set.

I also bought the improvised armour for this box set, these are the first tanks I've used them on. Quite cool for some added detail. I only added the improvised front armour for two Shermans, and the improvised side armour on the command vehicle.

I have come to the conclusion that I need to use another colour for the chips, the plain white stand out too much.

Enjoy

Used the gale forcenine iron cable to add extra detail for the first time. Really had a hard time bending the cable in to the shape I wanted, but I did it.
