Got around to putting together my Kubelwagen from the apparently diminishing
Wargames Foundry WW2 28mm range. It seems this is no longer available from them. Shame as I have a soft spot for the Foundry range - they tend to come up a bit smaller than some other makes like Crusader Miniatures, Artizan or Black Tree but they have some great sculpts with plenty of character. I am fortunate enough to have nearly 40 each of the German Infantry and British Commandos and my brother in law Jim is kindly painting about 20 more fallschirmjager for me. I may have to treat myself to the
'England Invaded' collection. Who can't love the 'Home Guard Heroes' or 'Downed German Air Crew' sets!
Back to what I do have...I can't currently decide whether to have the kubelwagen with or without its driver and passengers? One of my gaming buddies suggested I should have three - one with, one without and one destroyed/wrecked! Perhaps later Rob...for now I have a fair amount of wehrmacht troops to get sorted first!
A couple of (badly lit) pictures below with some minor progress...
Nearly finished / just started German infantry and kubelwagen without driver etc.
Kubelwagen with driver and passengers.
Figures shown from left to right are Wargames Foundry, Artizan 'Heer' and Artizan 'late war' Germans.
I think the Home Guard Heroes would be a must have, they look great.

ReplyDeleteI am working on a companies worth for Home Guard. The heroes are great - just like Dad's Army. Lots of spectacles to paint and I am dreading Pike's scarf. My one minor quibble is with the support weapons sections. They only come in helmets not side caps so a section or platoon all with the same head gear is impossible without head swaps.
