[20mm] 8.8cm Flak 36

 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Fantastic painting on show here. An 8.8 flak on the battlefield would've filled soldiers with fear I'm sure.
