Cardboard Walls

Just a quick idea i had from a Wargames illustrated on Making Pirate Boats and Ships


The planking It is the carboard ala biscuit and Breakfast cereal and some scissors and just paper glue


And a run of brown toned themed paint, with the black felt tip (Fine Tip Pen) to do Nail holes and bring up the Planking......

I will do some in a Blog of how to do

and read Wargames illustrated

Work on 1/300 Pacfed Commision

Work on some Futuristic 1/300 Pacfed Grav Vechiles and Infantry
 They have been primed and are all in Cobalt Blue ready for the cloud (white) Camo and detailing

And the Infantry which will be in my painting figures blog......

M10 Achilles M16 from Mr Stelling

Some shots my father has taken and am using to show but basically to show the M16 and M16B as was having a problem with thinking that the museums simply placed a Quad mount in a M3 half track.
But it was an actual field modification to probably up the number of AA units
even if as a multiple ground firing unit as most Flak and such were used as well...

                                     M10 Achilles

                                                                            M16 S.P.A.A


?M16B (which is an M16 with the M55 trailer mounted quad M45C as a field modification)

Another shot of the M10 Achilles
 
Pak 36 with example of the Stielgranate 41 from 1943 to up the Ante


And a 7.5cm Pak 40

Platoon 20

Just Scanned some old (20 years back) Platoon 20 Catologue Pages














 
It is about the whole range as there was nothing new after this
They are still available but no longer in single form (8 packs and... etc)

So am doing an Individual listing and will do the a missing Blog as most or all the vechiles are no longer available and they did an M48 for the Nam as well with variated Gun Barrel

And all the civilians for Vietnam are gone as well as the Schuma and others

Trying at least to get the Civilians back as they are usable all Asia etc 
esp with all the 20mm 'Pacific' going on

cheers Karcuss

will be doing some Battlefield Miniatures stuff soon as all the Shot moulds
