1/76th ish inventory - Commonwealth

This post kind of completes the inventory of my 1/76th and related scale forces.  There are more models in bits and pieces and quite a few as unmade kits.  So it goes.  Same goes for figures.

In looking at the various things I have included in this post, some are very old and some quiet new.  There is also evidence in evolution of my thinking as to painting, basing and organisation styles.  Note: Some of this units have been posted previously, mainly when I started this blog ten years ago.

 Mainly Airfix.  

There is a Hasegawa Grant and a Matchbox Firefly.  

Some scratchbuilding evident bottom right hand corner.

Some TLC is required.

 What looks like a complete armoured regiment.

Most of the Shermans are one piece plastic castings, brand unknown.

I can see that I lost heart halfway through when the second squadron turned out very green.

 A flash looking Matchbox Humber.

 I'm so fond of this model that you get two pics of it.

Detail looks sharper without the flash.

 This formation has been extensively posted on before.

This is as far as I have got with the great 5oth (Northumbrian) Division - Tyne and Tees.

As someone born north of the Humber I claim an historical connection!

 Some odds and sods (I have many more loose figures).

The three vehicles on the right are diecast by Oxford and are literally to die for.

 Looks like I started out with these guys for Command Decision

 and then started to move to Crossfire.

Note scratchbuilt Boys A/T rifle and PIAT.

The slender Airfix figures have a distinct early war feel to them

(unlike the more stocky Matchbox figures used for the 50th)

Some very old figures, based up for Crossfire.

The extra HMGs are just because, 

but also show a different attempt at a quick basing style.

The cutting of the Vicker's front legs, while tricky, pays off.

1/76th ish Inventory - WW2 German - sans infantry

After seeing this post by Archduke Piccolo I felt inspired/compelled to get out my WW2 German kit in the same scale.  These models go back to the 1970s (possibly even late 60s) and have been collected in bursts and drivels ever since whenever I have seen something I haven't been able to resist.  I was hoping to use Megablitz to actually make something out of them for wargaming. 

Some of these models might have been used for Command Decision, but I am pretty sure most have never been used on the table top (or in the garden for that matter).

 All sorts of brands in there,

including some scratchbuilt and diecast.

 Two of the Panthers are suffering badly from rot.

They were like that when I go them (cheaply so no complain).

 All sorts of kit and brands here as well.

Some deserve posts of their own.

Some I didn't even know I had.

Supplementary purchases (I think they were bargains).

Now, where have I stored the infantry?
