My Little Tank & other Hobby

 Shameless plagiarism on my part referencing 'Allo Allo' and the well worn phrase of Lieutenant (or I guess that should be Leutnant) Hubert Gruber.

All this waffle is a long winded way of me introducing my recently finished M3 Stuart - British 8th army variant for our run of 'V for Victory'.

This is the first 'little' or any tank I've built since the halcyon days of Tamiya 1/35th scale circa 1982 but it was remarkably enjoyable.  The kit is the Warlord Games iteration of an Italeri model and I had to go to YouTube for some tips on assembling it - but this is all part of the experience I guess.

I opted for the caunter camouflage scheme albeit I suspect my colour scheme is not historically accurate which I accept but which I think Herr Gruber might approve of.

                                                     

The other bit of Hobby referred to is an updated KoW Lesser Obsidian Golem regiment.  I was obsessing a little too much over PMC (preferred model count) and my gaming buddy (and originator of this great blog) made the very sensible suggestion to have the two Golems which I'd painted (I'm very slow at painting!) and fill the base out with some 'fluff',  What a great idea and something I should've been all over myself.

It's all very basic - some pillar type pieces from the KoW Nightstalker Butchers kit (part of a 'medium' term project for Firefight Nightstalkers) and a little mutant rat which I had lying about never really thinking I'd be using him.  I've got enough models for an additional horde of LOG so will be utilising something very similar for those when I eventually get round to painting them.

For the present though it's all about stopping Rommel!
