German Infantry Carts, etc.

German Infantry Carts or more correctly Infanteriefahrzeuge (If.), I 3D printed number of If.5 Maschinengewehrwagen (Bauart 36) (Vorder- und Hinterwagen) Machine gun wagon (model 36) (anterior & rear wagon). These were used thoughout WW2 so I split them into early and late war, I suspect that the limber was used for more than its designated role so I kept the MG carts seperate. I also somehow lost some of my old Airfix 88mm trailers so I also printed some excellent replacements as well.

Early War versions in grey and some Recoiless Weapons for my early war Fallschirmjaeger

Late War versions

Thanks to Dani Dunber for the STL files, I just need to sort out some suitable drivers for them.

DAK sdkfz 10s plus other bits

Three 3D printed sdkfz 10 halftracks to add to my large collection of DAK. I had planned to print the versions I had created with crews and stowage added, but somehow I used the intermediate file with just the crew and had to add stowage from the bits box, etc.

Also painted were more 3D printing stuff, some DAK LMG teams from "Kozak" and some recoiless rifles for my Fallschirmjaeger.

Fairmile MTBs

I've completed the four Fairmile D class MTBs for my Cruel Seas collection. I had some problems with two of the hulls not printing cleanly, but that has mostly been hidden by filling with putty.

The armament was printed seperately, but in retrospect I should have assembled the model in 3D Builder before printing. A couple of the ships have 6pdr quick firing guns to add a little variation.

On the workbench - November 2023

The year seems to be rushing to a close, but at least I finished the 3D printing before the weather deteriorated and also rebasing my Dark Ages stuff. So I will be working on painting the bulk of new newly printed 3D models, to clear some room.

• 4 x British WW2 Fairmiles - underway, but the tanker "exploded" when I popped it in warm water to straighten it, it seems it also had an unrevealed hollowing problem similar to many of my early prints.
• A new ECW cavalry regiment in 28mm for Sir William Waller's army - Burghill's
• 28mm Foot and mounted figures for Waller's Dragoons
• WW2 German LF.5 limbers and AA wagons
• WW2 Russian universal limbers
• A par of WW2 M3 Grants to complete my RF British desert armoured regiment
• A trio of WW2 Japanese Te-Ke light tanks
• More WW2 German Volksturm to complete my "Fall of the Reich" forces
• Gates and other smaller bits to complete my fencing - still not started as I seemed to have misplaced the bases.
• Plus other bits and pieces

Rebased Norman Cavalry

These are the last of my Norman Conquest rebased. The figures are a mix of Revell and Strelets.

The Bretons are really the Revell mounted Saxons with a few other Strelets

The Norman contingent with their two commanders Duke William and Bishop Odo

In addition to these there are another 18 Norman and 12 Breton cavalry that were based to my current standard when I painted them.

Bundeswehr M113s

A quick diversion to paint three West German M113s. In Battlegroup Centag these are an option instead of using Marders so I included them in the latest print run.

Rebased Norman Infantry

Continuing the Dark Age theme I have rebased all the Norman Foot to my current standard.

There are four units of spearmen, two of archers and one of skirmishers.

This just leaves the Cavalry to do
