Fielding an 8.8cm Flak 36/37 in a skirmish game is probably akin' to overkill, but it's such an iconic piece, I simply had to get me one. Figures are 20mm AB as ever, while the Flak gun is from Zvezda. I had thought about creating a larger vignette style base, but as the gun comes without carriage I decided otherwise. But given the AB figures would let themselves well for a diorama due to their posing I might yet do one.
Wanted to try out a new recipe for Reed Green summer Drillich uniforms, but it turned out way too greenish. Still I couldn't be bothered to correct it. For the moment at least. Given the Wehrmacht used any kind of captured stock and dyes often varied from batch to batch anyway I think I'll get away with it... even if maybe just ;-)
I'm not completely sold on the shrubbery, thus it's not glued in place yet.
Points thus far:

Great work Nick, I think the green is fine. I also like the shrubbery, with such an high profile it needs a fair bit of camouflage.
ReplyDeleteOh, awesome work as always!
ReplyDeleteThis work is beyond praise!
ReplyDeleteFantastic.
ReplyDeleteSuperb!
ReplyDeleteFantastic painting on show here. An 8.8 flak on the battlefield would've filled soldiers with fear I'm sure.
