Martian Front BEF Infantry

BEF infantry section, these should be 10 man section on one of their long straight bases, however I think they do not look right all lines up as on parade so I experimented with FOW medium bases and I much prefer the look.

The 8 man section, including the heavy weapons guy.  The sculpts are great the gas marks are a nice took and the models paint up really well!

Close up of the heavy weapons guy.

 

The other fire team.

And below is a size comparison picture, AQMF BEF and FOW Soviets, as you can see they are much bigger at 18/20mm

AQMF Vehcile Selection WIP

Ok, I am just going through the box of unmade and unpainted BEF troops.  I selected a variety of vehicles as a test run.

Some of the models can be quite fiddly to put together and as all good gamers do I ended up sticking my fingers to the models! 

But here are some WIP pics...

Here we have L-R Mono Tank, Specter Armored Car, Kitchener Tank (The Specter was a pain to fit together!)

 

Kitchener and Mono tanks base sprayed Army Painter Desert and then dry brushed FOW Sand

Defiant Armored Car next to the Specter, the Specter is the nearest model to actual 15mm scale.  These are defiantly 18mm scale models

Martian Front, a cautionary tale.......

Ok so I did my first batch of Alien Dungeon BEF vehciles.....spray went on well, highlighted, detailed and the given a good coat of Army painter Dark Tone......left to dry for 24hrs then applied the Army Painter Anti-Shine Varnish.......

THIS HAPPENED!!!!

Not impressed......

So had to strip it and start again

All Quiet on the Martian Front

OH NO!  Not another new project.......well this one is a PAW collaboration and I get the pleasure of painting up the British Expeditionary Force.

I have resisted the green army theme and gone for the 'desert' look, no particular reason other than I like it and the Yanks are painted green!

So the initial WIP 

Above we have the Defiant Armoured Car.  The models are quite nice the usual flash lines associated with resin casts and a piece of the metal additions was missing.  There should an engine grill on the rear deck but I suppose it does not affect the look too much. 

This is the Cardigan Infantry Carrier and it is a big model.  The resin cast was better than the Defiant.

I'm looking forward to painting these models, finally!
