Warlord Games plastic Panther Tank

I decided to paint model this up in three- tone camoto match an illustration I had of an example from 9th SS Panzer Division 'Hohenstaufen' fighting in Normandy during the latter stages of WW2.

Minor frustartions were caused by the tow rings snapping easily; the tracks leaving a gap at either end; the commander figure is way too small compared to most 28mm miniatures, and the  zimmerit paste looks a bit too uniform. but overall easy to put together and excellent value overall:

Easy to put together and an interesting vehicle:

I really enjoyed painting these miniatures from Black Tree Designs. 

I wanted to go for a real mix of uniform colours to reflect the fading caused by the sun, but to still keep the figures looking like they belonged to the same unit:

A nicely detailed resin model from Blitzkrieg Miniatures with a metal commander originally bought from Warlord Games, but now sold by The Wargames Command Post.

I had some problems with paint flaking off the resin model, despite being very thorough with washing the components in soapy water and using Halford's oil- based plastic primer- frustrating when you've finished the model and have to retouch it!

Two sections of British commandos and an LRDG/ SAS team from Artizan Miniatures. 

Great character in these sculpts- they remind me of the hardened comic strip heroes from the 'Commando' comics!
