My new shiny butterfly moment has included the last week which saw the building, gluing and basing of a large Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) force. I also have enough plastic left over to do a full 3 sections plus command for a Imperial Japanese Naval (IJN) platoon as well, but that will wait a bit.
BANZAI !!!!!!!!!! |
MMG team, Medium Mortar, Flamerthrower, Snipers and Light Mortars |
IJA Section and Suicide Tank Hunters |
IJA Infantry Sections |
IJA Section, Platoon Commander, Medic and FAO |
Chi-Ha Shingoto and Ho-Ni 111 Tank Destroyer |
Glad to see another person succumb to Shinyitis. I must say if I was doing 28mm WW2 this force would appeal to me. Or maybe the British 14th (Forgotten) Army.
ReplyDeleteOn your Ho-Ni III there is a head popping out of a maintenance hatch that houses the differential. :p I'm affraid It would be very very cramped in there. .The driver would be located behind the slit you see behind his head. Just wanted to point that out. I have the same model, shame they didn't go for the Ho-Ni II instead.
ReplyDeleteHe's fixing the Diff!!! :-)
DeleteYeah those maintenance hatches are deceptive little buggers aren't they. I think one of the Warlord photos has the same problem. Nice Japanese force there - now slap some paint on them! Want to have some real fun? Find and field all the itty bitty, and I mean SMALL Japanese tankettes. They look like lawnmowers! I call them my Doom Buggies. They can take cover behind a fire hydrant. Wonderful.
