Fall Of France 1940 Figure Painting

I've been busy painting the figures, or at least one of them over the last few days with just a rifle to paint now the first figure is almost done. 

 

Panhard & Panzer Coming Together

Slowly getting some more work done on the models with both now having a coat of primer. I'm now working out the colours for the Panhard and looking at different schemes. Also a rummage through the stash turned up some Dragon figures perfect for the diorama I have in mind. Two figures, one with a machine gun and the other carrying ammo should work very well. 

I've had these for absolutely ages so to finally get to paint them is really nice. I've also bought a very nice Alpine figure for the Panzer turret which is excellent. From now on I'll combine both builds on the blog to make it easier to follow the rest of the build.

Panzer II Progress

A nice easy and very fast build and it's all done. As you would expect from tamiya the fit and detail is excellent with only a few extra bolts to add if desired. I have a different commander figure on the way as well. 

A comparison between the panzer and Panhard shows them to be of a similar size so having both on the same base will be interesting. The plan is to have the Panhard abandoned at the side of a road with a couple of German soldiers and the panzer going past it. 

We shall see how that pans out later. Now it's time for a wash to remove any dst and residues before priming.
