Minor Technicalities

I realised today that I haven't painted any 15mm figures for literally years and have bucket loads of them to do for my forthcoming Spanish Civil War project, so I thought it would be a good idea to get in some much needed 15mm painting practice. 

I had a rummage around for something that was ready to paint and unearthed four technical trucks for AK47 that I built ages ago using old diecast toys and various bits from Peter Pig, The Scene UK and various other places. I had put them in a drawer full of half finished AK47 things, so dusted them off and decided to make a couple more, so that I had a full militia technical unit. 

The ones I made today are a 'Truck with Heavy Mortar', based on a diecast Saviem toy lorry, and an 'APC with Anti-Tank Gun' using an old QRF Soviet heavy tractor vehicle and Peter Pig Russian field gun. In the rulebook there isn't an option for a mortar on a truck but I rate it the same as an AAA armed truck in terms of points. 

I will get started on these as soon as I've finished the minesweeper for Cruel Seas! which is now ready for some ink washing and detailing.
