Wargaming Musings?

I'm a bit of a butterfly in terms of my attention and sticking to gaming projects long term isn't my strongest point. On the bright side, atleast I flit between the same things. Expect an ecclectic medley of Moderns, Dark Ages, Quar and Early Wild West, almost all in 28mm... (with some 1/48 moderns thrown in... )

Painting update - (20mm) Polish Solidarity IS-3

Well, my Polish 'Solidarity' partisans have got their heavy support up and running at last :) For those that missed the original post - I wanted to include an IS-3 in my CWGH games as I think they look funky. The best way I could find to do this was for my Polish anti-communist partizans to 'liberate' one of the two IS-3s that the Soviets had given Poland in the late 40's as a gesture of communist solidarity. These tanks were just put on display, and never saw any use (Poland had over 100 IS-2s at this time). 'In setting' the tank would have been loaded up to be moved for re-painting (and looking at it, boy did it need it!),  instead it was re-purposed - the only repainting it got was having the Polish army eagles replaced with flags! I decided to keep the rest of the weathering light, as otherwise with the rust it'd look more like it should have been on the scrap heap...





A poor picture of my attempt to put the solidarity emblem on the side of the tank


No idea what stats I'll being using in FoF, although I'll probably start with a T-55 and make it worse :)

  1. It looks rather good mate. Is it worth edging the writing to make it stand out more?

  2. Cheers :) Thats a good thought mate - if I'm honest, I'm not sure if my brush work is up to edging it... I might have to have to try on something else, and then come back to it once I've got an idea if I'm actually good enough to pull it off!
