Mercedes Benz cars

This weekend I painted a couple 15mm-scale retro Mercedes Benz cars for Crossfire.  These will be nice little scenery pieces to add some detail to my Middle East & African tabletops.  The black & maroon cars are 5-piece metal models (car body + wheels), & the wrecked car is a single-piece resin cast (which I painted a while back); all from the excellent Peter Pig.

I'll be buying a couple more of these, & maybe leaving the wheels off one to paint as a rusty/ burnt-out wreck.  The centre of the wheels  left off this wreck could be drilled-out to make a little stack of tyres to enhance a scenery piece.

I've just noticed that I forgot to paint the number plates of these cars. Doh!

Russian village barn

I'd hoped to have more than this to post by today, but I prefer to present finished things.  I have a load of 28mm-scale Russian Civil War stuff in progress, including a platoon of White Guards, & a laser-cut ply village - but all of that is still in progress on my work desk...  So for now, here's the first of the laser-cut buildings: a small barn.  This is made by Sarissa Precision.  Their buildings come in unpainted flat sheets, but the parts are simple to press-out, & they fit together perfectly.  They have removable roofs too.  The assembly instructions are clear & straightforward.  I'll add some fake straw to the floor of this barn once I get some.
