Thanks

The scale is 1/16th; the barrel needs to be custom made.

Nice one, Christer. As always great work

Should the Gebirgsjager have some kind of weapons (other than the spade and snow axe) to combat the French when they open up? Hand guns and/or grenades? If the French have handguns the gebirgsjager can suddenly be in a difficult position.

Thanks Andrzej and Jesper,

The cobblestones are made of a latex sheet, bought from Kancali.com.

The frenchmen are "surrounded" by the Gebirgsjägers. A spade or an ice-axe can easily be used as a leathal weapon in close (or closed) combat . I think that my Gebirgsjägers have taken the close combat course. They are on-top of their problem, in this situation.


Cheeers,
Christer

The chassis part is a little dusted, but the pics are too bright anyway... but i agree they need a little work there too

This week i'll start the Alan Panzer II D.

I have Panzer II Ausf. D from Alanger too, but in that case, I will get down for something other - maybe I can make some diorama - I have several interesting ideas.

hello all,
well it looks like that the campaign is rolling right along.
@John, the Panzer IV D looks good to me,i think that the shininess is from the photo's flash,but go ahead and do what you want.remember to put a photo in the Blitzkrieg gallery.
@ Adam,build what you want,but remember that you only get 1 ribbon for the campaign,sorry.i know that you have done alot of builds for this campaign,and you have helped alot of the builders with thier models.thank you.
hopefully Matt,will show us how he is doing.
cheers,
Bruce

I have been working on this for the last two weeks. One of those weeks was spent on vacation. I just finished this one up this morning. It is a Panzer IA which participated in the Polish Blitzkrieg. Comments welcome.

Bruce - no problem And I know, that I can get only one ribbon
But this campaign appeals me - I particularly like early years of war and I especially like models from this period!

About three weeks ago I have completed my next project for this campaign but I can't show it yet(I try show it next week).

Hello Carl

Good job Is this a Dragon kit?
I think, that you should make some dust or mud, particularly on tracks.
At the moment, you have very good base for weathering!

Hi Carl, your Pz. I looks good, although it seems to have rolled out of the factory just now. A little weathering would improve it further unless you are going for the brand new look.

Thanks for sharing

Hello Jeff

Yes, you can place your Panzer II in a Blitzkrieg gallery!
Certainly I joke
As yet, it looks all right - I wait for final effect

My plan was for a factory fresh finish. But I do agree, some dust is needed. It is the DML Pz. I Smart Kit. And it is reall, really small, compared to what I am used to building.

It's the flash (check all the switches to disable the flash...and they don't work..)...
Anyway I did a muddy makeover and weathered the bucket too..

Yeah, compared to your Grille II there must be a small difference in tonnage and road width
