Panzer...

... IIIJ, Matchbox...

A nice, straightforward, relaxing kit that still looks just fine for the tabletop:


Above: nearly finished, just markings, tyres and wash needed.


Finished, and ready for the sound of dice rolling. As you can see, I didn't go for a Hungarian PzIIIJ in the end, as the plain old dunkelgelb didn't really cut the mustard, and, more importantly, I have no intention of starting a 20mm Hungarian Army. So, it's just a generic German PzIIIJ. Which will always come in handy.

 

I knew I was jumping the gun the other day/post when I boasted that I had a game set up, all ready to go. It is highly likely that it isn't going anywhere (except back to barracks), as I've run out of foraged wood for my hobbit bunker stove, the temperature has dropped again, and, worse, there are builders due at the end of the week and they'll have to access my house via the bunker.  Oh, well, I set it up...

  1. Ahh, about to game the drive on Moscow but were stopped by the cold. Very realistic!

    Nice Pzr iii though.

    1. Yes, draft it! But there's always a good chance I'll find some thrown away bits of wood to fire up the stove.

  2. Woke up to snow today here in the Duchy,most we have had this winter..Keep the game up in the meantime and wait and see...
    I have taken to setting games up on the dining room table (we eat mostly on the kitchen table) but still I feel I cannot inflict them on the rest of the household for long periods of time . Often they get get taken down after a few moves.Time & energy are against them too.

    1. Yes, same here. We live in such a small house (just one room downstairs, that I can't really do that. Just having my kit bashing on the dining tablre is awkward enough.

  3. Nice Pz III. As I've remarked before, those Matchbox kits look darned solid, and they are.

    Cheers, Dave
