German Trucks part 4
My final truck from the PSC packs. A DAK flak truck inspired by one painted by Piers Brand over on the Guild

Another variation on the theme - the cargo bay sides and rear were cut down and a Zvezda 20mm Flak added.

German Trucks part 2
Starting from the same basic trucks as the last post these have been winterised
So slowly I'll build up a late war German force for winter campaigning.

German Trucks part 1
My first batch of Plastic Soldier Company German trucks. These will be combined with four existing Pegasus trucks to provide transport for a couple of Rapid Fire Panzer Grenadier battalions.
I need to sort out some stowage and figures to put in the back of the Maultiers

On the workbench - May 2017
It's not going to be a very productive month as I'll be travelling quite a bit of the time. The main emphasis will be on rebasing the TYW figures. The Plastic Soldier German Trucks are almost finished so watch this space. Otherwise I might just grab something out of the stash to add a bit of variety to the boring rebasing task.

TYW Swedish cavalry rebased
The final output from April! I stripped nearly 100 figures off their old bases, then repaired/retouched them before rebasing.
A number of standards have been lost over the years but I haven't replaced them yet as I want to use the more accurate information I now have.
Only 72 have been rebased so far as the units are now 9 strong instead of 12. I need to create some additional units out of the remnants plus some extra spare figures.

Farewell Roy
Not the usual post, but I need to mark the passing of a good wargaming friend Roy Adams. We originally started gaming back in St Albans/Harpenden, but then the group gradually drifted apart but remained united by a periodic Gentlemen Pensioners game held in Manchester. A trawl though my archives found few pictures, mainly because I focused on the great games we all enjoyed.

Roy was a true gentleman gamer who could always see the funny side of life. He couldn't resist trying new periods and scales. Here's his Indian Mutiny game from 2013
Those involved (Roy back left)
Unfortunately his health increasing began to fail him, especially when he travelled abroad on cruises.
Roy in the Sudan in 2012
So I raise a glass to Roy and wish him well on his cruise in the afterlife, and condolences to his family as he will be sorely missed.
