New stuff! More Bolt Action

Another set of packages arrived today, one was a missing item from my prior order that didn't make it into the box! Great job Warlord, they caught the error and shipped it right off!

The loot!

SOVIET KOMSOMOLETS ARMOURED ARTILLERY TRACTOR

Wrecked Hanomag (showing various angles to see the detail!)




Need I say more? Just fucking cool!

What is this? Instructions?


Core to the kit is a plastic Hanomag 251

If you never saw the plastics before. This is my first one, my other was metal and resin.

Resin and metal parts. The detail of the wagon!

Perhaps one of the best boxes yet!

Not much detail on the website draws attention here...this is important!

TWO HUGE BLISTERS INSIDE!

The heads...yes SHS!

Amazing!

Interesting character features in the faces!

Details of the bodies for the Volkstrum










What is this? Bases? Yea, Sarissa ones!

Krummlauf Assault Rifle....a very nice model.

League of Girls Medic! She is small also!

Hitler Youth...and more!





Political Officer

Luftfausts

Hitler Youth against adults...scaling is well done!

Where I am at!

Well, I had this tray almost empty and now it is full again! Arg! Who am I kidding, I love it!

The tray!

Also added some green to the church side for moss.

Same for the barn.

Finished! Sarissa Cheatu!

Finished the Sarissa Cheatu early today and now I need to read up on how to paint this beast if anyone has tackled it yet or if anything how to paint Sarissa stuff. Primer or not? That sort of thing....

I have to say, take your time with this baby. I made a few mistakes but I was also lucky to see them early and was able to fix my errors as I worked on the beast! This monster is three levels and has a roof along with a front and back stairs/balcony of sorts. I enjoyed putting it together and for the most part was easy do.

The worst part was the last level with the slats and making sure they was right for the roof. I had to file and cut some to make the roof fit to the point it made me happy enough to call it done! So, if you buy this baby be ready for some time and work!

I'd give it 8 out of 10 stars for the value! I wish some of the design was deeper in burn and there was some interior detail but 4Ground has spoiled me slightly with their work!
