<\/a><\/p>\nThe first vehicles I finished are these halftracks from Blitzkrieg Miniatures. \u00a0They are from their line of 1:48 scale vehicles for gaming with 28mm figures.<\/p>\n
I am not a military modeler, so my vehicles don’t have the level of detail and weathering that those guys put into their vehicles, but they are good enough for gaming.<\/p>\n I also completed this M-3 Grant tank. \u00a0I have always liked the clunky look of this tank, but I don’t game North Africa. \u00a0While researching the upcoming Japanese supplement for Combat Patrol(TM), I discovered that many of the Lee and Grant tanks were sent to the Pacific when they were no longer useful in the Mediterranean or Europe. \u00a0They were more than capable of knocking out Japanese tanks (though I’m not sure there were any tank-on-tank engagements involving them) or Japanese defensive positions.<\/p>\n While I was painting the US vehicles, I also painted this goofy looking thing from an old G.I.

The first vehicles I finished are these halftracks from Blitzkrieg Miniatures. \u00a0They are from their line of 1:48 scale vehicles for gaming with 28mm figures. … Continue reading Painted Some Vehicles this Weekend<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wargaming"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5918"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5918\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5919,"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5918\/revisions\/5919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bucksurdu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n Share on Linkedin<\/span><\/a><\/li> Subscribe to the comments on this post<\/span><\/a><\/li> Print for later<\/span><\/a><\/li> Bookmark in Browser<\/span><\/a><\/li> Tell a friend<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>
