History and wargaming

Hobby time has mostly been focused on Vietnam rather than WW2 the past month, but I did manage to finish this Bazooka team on the side at least. The usual Skytrex figs, quite decent poses really. I get a distinct ambush vibe from them.  And as a brief interlude from the US infantry with this 3d printed Sdklfz 223 I got from the Plastic Soldier company. Overall very impressed with the print detail, the few visible print lines I tried to cover with some stowage. The packages got absolutely destroyed by the Swedish Postal service Postnord (a common enough occurence as to spawn the loving company nickname Postmord ), but to PSC's credit all the 3d prints survived scot free, and they definitely feel less brittle than other 3d prints. I left the paint job quite simple as I wanted it to mesh with my old, not too that well painted Sdkfz 222's which were one of the first ww2 vehicles I did back in 2019 when I returned to miniature painting after a brief 20 year hiatus....  ...

Finally got around to basing a few Vietcong fighters I painted ages ago, still issues with an order I put in back in january that hasn't been sent, including a lot of plastic bases I was planning on using for this project.  Anyway, I've resigned to go with metal washers for now though I find them just a smidge to thin to easily pick up for skirmish level play but eh, one can always go back and rebase them later. Next up is basing another batch of US and after that it's civilians. The weather has at last proceeded into spray can season here in the frozen north, so there will be terrain to come too.
