Mix-n-Match

An eclectic assortment of models has graced my workbench over the last few months. Most are now done and here are a few of the results.

Starting where I left off last time, with Reaper fantasy figures, here's Rogers the Bull:

Making use of a Reaper miniature, I now have a twisted-ghosts-scary-thingy model for my Angmar Lord of the Rings forces. GW's model has been unavailable for some time, cost a lot and didn't look as good as this one:

Then we have an orphaned StuG F/8. This is the third model from an Old Glory package. It wandered away from the other two and sat in undercoat for a couple of years, but now it's happy in grey:

Sticking with vehicles, a Battlefront Somua S.35 has now joined the three Old Glory models. It is a fraction taller and has a little more detail sculpted on, but the two brands blend well together. Paints are assorted old-formula Humbrol enamels, which brush beautifully.

Every German force likes 88s in the background. Back in the old days, Battlefront's boxed set for 88s came with two guns deployed on scenic bases and two complete models  to be assembled in the towing position, to go behind the supplied halftracks. Scrounge suitable crew figures from, say, Old Glory packs and, voila, one has four 88s for the price of two.

The most time has gone to a box of Planetary Empires tiles from GW. This was a set that GW released to complement their 40K game. One can clip them together in various ways, add factories, shield generators and so on and fight campaigns over the landscape. Alien worlds can have alien colours!
