Jackster Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I will jump in with the Schimmwagen if that's ok? I need to practice my figure painting as well. The Trumpeter set is German small arms. This will not be an immediate start, but does set my intention. Cheers Kev 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerWomble Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Yes the LSSAH fooling around for the newsreel cameras Few years ago I did four large scenerios showing various takes from the films in 1/35 , and revisted the crossroads again in a vignette last year ...um,,,, and La Gleize............ did I mention I might have been obsessed by the Battle of the Bulge for 40 years , and had planned to retire to the Ardennes until a certain vote blocked that as an option .

Retiring to the Ardennes ? Now, that’s pushing obsession VERY far 😂 !

GazzaS Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Nice choice, Kevin! All SS divisions have names. 1st SS began it;s life as AH's bodyguards. 2nd SS Das Reich 'The Empire' 3rd Totenkopf 'death's head' 4th Polizei 'police' And on and on... Many with names that reflect on a locality connection, or some figure from the past. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the aspects of the hobby that I like the most! Cheers Kev 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
