Its been a fun slow grow project (though it wasn't intended to be quite so slow grow) and I particularly enjoyed finding and using all the early war vehicles and their variants which saw such great use in the desert.
I'm really pleased with how the battered yet cohesive colours give this the look of a worn, veteran force. Models are a thorough mix of Forged in Battle, Battlefront and PSC.
The only thing yet to come is a certain captured Matilda tank, which continues to elude capture (doesn't it Alan!)

Very nice looking force!
ReplyDeletethanks Hein!
DeleteReally impressive project, a lovely cohesive veteran look to all of them, great painting and basing!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, appreciated
DeleteThese look great. Well done.
ReplyDeletecheers Chris!
DeleteWhat a tremendous collection Paul, I am very envious.
ReplyDeleteThanks indeed Michael! Thats high praise indeed!
DeleteThere are hordes of bloggers who are envious of your collections :-)
Awesome job. In envy here
ReplyDeleteThanks indeed!
DeleteCracking stuff mate. I love the palette you have used on these. Makes me want to get my DAK on the table again!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, appreciated!
DeleteI think the trick was being a little inconsistent to give them a battered and worn look :-)
Grand stuff. A fine collection... although I would actually call it just getting started 😉😉😉😉
ReplyDeleteNaturally! :-)
DeleteThanks Dave
Lovely looking army Paul!

Thanks Christopher!
DeleteThat's a lot of Chermans. Can't wait to see all of them crushing those Rats (and capturing that Matilda)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to doing it alongside my favourite eye-tie allies mate! :-)
DeleteFantastic stuff- I like the consistent battered look they have. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat's next?!
Thanks mate, that was the intent anyway!
DeleteWhats next? Far too much. I am over-committed on projects - as usual!
Superb work. Im glad to se your force does have the required Tiger I. All WW2 German miniature armies need at least 1 Tiger to be complete.
ReplyDeleteThe weathering work is very well done.
Thanks indeed Miles. Actually, this is the first Tiger model I own. I am ashamed and will rectify that for my other (post 42) German WW2 Armies immediately!
DeleteLooking great. Never say completed though, there is always something else that you did not realise you needed ;)
ReplyDeleteIndeed so Paul - I found a couple of tanks that need Commander figures added to them!
