Today as I have freaking stupid head cold and the attention of a nat I have not carried any real progress. Instead I shall post a review of current projects which festoon my workspace. First up is a trio of Fujimi Type 97 (late) Chi Ha armour. I brought these as is and hope to have them ready by Christmas for a wargame I have to supply to Al's "Week of Wargaming".
Almost finished is this Gun Emplacement. I just need to sort the top and give the gun a bit of detail. An hour to finish I think.
Artillery position made out of super clay. Needs flocking and the bags need a paint so about 30 minutes to completion.
More defensive fun, this time a log structure. Again flocking and a bit of paint on the logs, I also might add some planks to floor it. An hour or so I guess.
Radar Installation, with still quite a bit of work to be done, I am basing this on one that was on the entrance to the Wellington Heads
And lastly 1942 3rd (NZ) Division Infantry. Based on a number of Airfix and Matchbox figures with conversions. I have painting them in the summer weight KD uniform as the JG's used in the Pacific had not been issued (Dyed) until early 43 I believe.
Still lots to do and not so sure I will fit it all in, I guess I will just have to model on I suppose.
Hope the cold is better soon. I like the gun emplacement - is that a re-barelled '88' in there?
ReplyDeleteWell spotted Tim, yes a 155mm US gun in a 88 carriage. I have no limits to my depravity.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul.
P.S I hope I am better soon as well mate, the wife is getting sick of my moaning.
Could be a problem while suffering from man flu!
ReplyDeleteThat Radar station looks great. Good to see someone doing up 3 Div. One of my long term plans is to build up a version of it for CD. I will watch your work with much interest.
ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you definitely have enough to keep you busy!
Steve

A wee hot dram may help for medicinal purposes
Don't I know it Fran. I always seem to get a cold during Summer, whats the deal with that!
ReplyDeleteI Brian, I probably will not do the whole Division just yet, as I would rather do the later TOE for the Green Island and Mono period.
ReplyDeleteI am reviewing a nice thesis on the Division at the moment, so that gives me some impetus.
Regards Paul
Hi Steven, yes it maybe a kit to far!
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
Hi to the Belgian, thanks mate, cardboard and balsa wood construction, I may just grout the lid.
ReplyDeleteRegards Paul
On a table near you soon Al!
ReplyDeleteHi Geordie, don't worry mate at this time of year the wee drams seem to be daily.
ReplyDeleteA Company of Japanese tanks is nothing to worry about. I think even the Boys gunners can deal with these.
Regards Paul
Get well soon mate. Nice projects by the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodger, one must keep busy.
