Disposable Heroes Wargame - Brazo de Nelson Wargame Club

A game that we played this past Saturday in our usual scale (1/72). A rural battlefield crossed by a road was the scene for the confrontation between the German and British forces. While the Germans started the game with a Tiger tank, the British awaited their armored support turn after turn without success while trying to stay out of range of the Tiger Tank. Nothing the British could throw would have made a dent in the armor of the colossus that caused heavy casualties in the enemy infantry so the English tactic was to press the enemy infantry and half-tracks on the flanks. Eight turns of heart attack.

Napoleonic Skirmish Game with 1/72 Scale Plastic Figures

A French wagon carrying a wounded officerl inside, accompanied by some "Chasseurs à cheval" has to cross a small town.

Standing in their way is a small contingent of British, Scottish foot soldiers, and some '95 English "green jackets".

Work in Progress - Roving Reporters

A set of "Newsteam" figures I have on the workbench at the moment.

The figures are Hasegawa hard plastic US Airforce Ground Crew with some simple modifications and an Esci/Italeri NATO Ground Crew figure.

The war-weary reporter's van in the background is a Made-in-China toy.

Looking at the photo now, I think I went a bit over the top with the weathering, it's filthy dirty - and those toy-like wheels will probably need replacing too..........

Airfix Chi-Ha



The 47mm AT gun was made by Alejadro – he used the wheels off a HaT German 37mm gun, and built the gun-shield from scratch. The gun-crew are conversions of HaT German AT figures by Carlos de la Concha.

The DUKWs are Airfix classics, cut down to make them warterline models.
