Now that painting of English Civil War units is complete, I have a few WW2 units to build and paint and add to my existing armies. These few items will keep me occupied while I decide upon my next painting project.
First up was to repurpose a spare Jagdpanther I have to a Bergepanther, an armoured recovery vehicle equiped with a 40 ton winch, spade and 1.5 ton derrick. This conversion aims to give the impression a Bergepanther for a wargaming table rather than be a detailed scale model.

Thanks for the blog plug, Peter. Are you planning to throw your hat into the ring for the prize drawing?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have added a comment on your blog. Thanks.
DeleteThat is a most handsome conversion
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm. From memory I believe it was one of your comments a year or so ago that go me thinking about recovery vehicles. Anyway, I parked the thought until now, and also have a Sherman to convert too.
