Wehrmacht Odds and ends for 1940 (1/72)

I’ve been laid up for over a fortnight with a horribly painful bad back so not got much done and cert I’m not fighting fit so far as a game is concerned. I have however continued to be seen doing anything other than paint my Kingdom of Holland Grenadiers of the Guard and start my new Piano Miniatures Baden battalion. So, instead of all that Napoleonic nonsense I thought I’d post some photos of a few Fall of France 1940 models, in the shape of a variety of German items. Most of what is shown here, with the exception of the weathering and so forth were painted with acrylic paint pens. The models got a dunkelgrau undercoat and the rest (not much I agree) is pen. Ok the undercoat does most of the work but I finished all these in half a hour, plus basing. Not much to most of these items but it was an interesting experiment.

New additions to the Wehrmacht Fall of France collection.

This is a die cast Del Prato or similar set I picked up a charity shop. (I managed to bag eight in total, either with the 20mm Flak or 37mm AT gun). 

Three boring trucks. 

Staff car although I can’t think to what formation it will belong.

A resin printed Kfz 13.

105mm Infantry Gun and Kfz 69 Horsch tow. 

The deployed versions of the IG105 and the 20mm Flak.

I’m finding the completion of this collection quite an enjoyable experience, certainly more so than painting 30 Kingdom of Holland Guard Grenadiers and some more Paraguayans.
