Panzer 38(t)s and a Jeep

As part of my attempt to clear the stash I assembled these back in September last year. Both kits are by Fujimi, the Jeep crewman is a 3D resin print, just a little on the large size.
Image
The Panzer 38(t)s will join four others and allow me to better game the action of the 7th and 8th Panzer Divisions in France 1940 as well as Russia in 41/42.

Now off to my first show of the year - Vapnartak

El Cid era Spanish heavy infantry

I had painted the officers and standard bearers earlier as they came in the HaT command pack. I added the heavy infantry from their infantry pack to make up three units

Napoleonic Russian Cossacks rebased

I debated whether to sell or rebase my HaT Cossacks for a while, but finally I decided that I could make a decision unless I did it, and if I did it would make them more saleable. So they are done and I'm quite happy with the results.
Image
There are a couple of bases of Zvesda Cossacks mixed in, but they were used to to make up the numbers and they are slightly oversized. If I tried 3D printing some new cossacks these would probably be the first to be replaced
Image
Looking at the pictures I still need to use some matt varnish on them to reduce the shine.

Mexicans and Miners

Two more sets of characters for the Wild West, both sets were 3D printed, the Mexicans by myself and the Miners were purchased from a local 3D printer at a Wirral Warboot.
Image
The central figures in the miners looks usable as the town drunk!

Springwoods for sale

So after years of debate I have decided to sell my 1st edition Springwood Models figures. I bought them in 1973 and painted the French versions as various allies. Now with 3D printing I have the capability to print new versions that match their 2nd edition figures. So the big moment has arrived and I have put them on evil way along with other bits I am clearing out. If you are interested, please PM me and we can sort out a deal as I can't get the current version of e-b to work properly.
