Bailed US tank crews

A small collection of figures from Orion. These will be used to represent bailed tank crews and some general eye-candy. I'll use some of the other poses from the set for open-topped vehicle crews.

CMP trucks

My first three Plastic Soldier Company CMP trucks. I've marked them up to round out some existing units

L to R

• HQ truck for my Artillery regiment (I still need a radio truck to finish it)
• One to accompany my two Bedford QLTs to complete a transport company
• Another marked up for a RASC company so I can use the pair of Bedford QLDs and a transport company when needed.

British Artillery commanders

As part of my new Rapid Fire British Field Artillery Regiment I needed three battery command and a regimental command stand. Luckily I got two PSC command packs included in the Kickstarter so I only needed a couple of extra figures to make up the numbers


I also added a copy of extra battery command stands for my desert British.

7.5cm PaK 40/4 auf Raupenschlepper Ost Selbstfahrlafette

Another PSC kit from my Kickstarter stash completed. I originally tried to make the base and body separate with magnets to attach them together, this would have allowed me to create a standard version as well. However after various attempt I gave up as I couldn't get strong enough magnets in the space available.


The crew are the standard PSC Pak38 figures with hoods added from green stuff to make them appear to be wearing parkas.

Any ideas on how I can use the upper body of an RSO?

Airfix 25pdrs recycled

I've made them Beute-iful. I repainted my old British desert versions as captured versions used by DAK. The crews are the PSC 25pdr crews with head swaps to make them German

WW2 British Artillery rework

While working on the new 25pdrs I decided that there was no point leaving the rest of my British Artillery untouched as it would look out of place compared to the rest of the army. So here are my upgraded 17pdrs and 5.5" howitzers.

The crew for the 5.5" guns are some of the spare 25pdr crews with some large rounds added. The 17pdr crews are those for the 6pdr, but with some Sgts Mess 17pdr rounds added to replace the 6pdr ones.

All the guns needed some repairs, but one 5.5" needed most of one side replaced which involved a new barrel, trunnion and trail, which luckily I had in my bits box.

British Artillery Regiment for Rapid Fire

After the enforced delay due to going on holiday here is my new PSC British Artillery Regiment.


One battery has Morris Quads wheras the other two have CP Quads.


My old guns, which will be retired. Airfix hard plastic to the right soft to the left!


For those who like a comparison of old and new.

Further work is needed on the battery and regiment HQs
