28mm WW2 German SS

While TNMC continues with the X-wing miniatures game, the painting desk is filled with projects reinforcing the Germans defending Normandy...

First up, a Marder III (cheap, mobile, anti-tank) ... a great little model from Warlord games, painted with an eye to the crew slapping on a last minute camoflage scheme..

... and a small squad of SS, just because, you know, you can't go into battle without them! I learned two valuable lessons with these, firstly, a good plan for the peadot camo scheme is a must ... however, secondly, be patient and wait for your Vallejo colours to arrive. Using the wrong green can ruin your day!!
