Well,
it is ages I do not blog anything. Rest assured that I have been very
productive these months but now it is time to show you something new. In February at Cavalier I was able to place my
greedy hands on some Plastic Soldiers Tigers… a full box. As almost every
wargamer that dabbles in WW2 I have scores of German tanks, scores of tigers
too… but 4 more were too difficult to resist. I was
able to paint them before the end of 2013… thus quite a good record. I painted
one for Tunisia and 3 for Normandy. I will use my Peter Pig ones for Sicily and
eastern front now…
The
models are very good. Building them was a pleasure, instructions were clear and
the pieces fit together very well, with
the exception of the track halves that had some joining problem. Nothing that
you cannot overcome too. In the box
there are a lot of options and probably a better information on what optional
bits to use would have been nice, but there are plenty of books and good
pictures over the internet to help you. Actually there are so many optional
parts that having only four tanks to play with means you will not be able to
try every variant and sub-variant. I am very happy with the results anyway. But
I spoke even too much… let’s see the beasts.
