The painting table needs to be cleared in readiness, this could mean a night shift.
I will look forward to seeing those.

My Warlord Games Heer Winter Support group and specialists pack showed up, they were on special offer. So that''s basically all my Late War Germans required for a Chain of Command platoon with supports. Or rather more than will actually get onto a table, perhaps a Late War Panzer IVJ ... Rubicon make a nice one... Hmmm.
Yep, I've been hovering a finger over the buy button on that panzer IV for a while. I had a resin one from Warlord from years back and it was awful I think I left it in the garage back at my mums? Just couldnt paint it well.
Yep, I have the old Warlord Pz IV. It's horrible. I am going to hit the button on the Rubicon Pz IV J.

Especially as I have just finished off some Late War winter finish supports.

If you need any more winter war stuff I have these soviet assault troops and Finns plus a bag of ski Finns that might not be entirely complete? Yours for £25 incl postage.

Are you two just talking about the mid-/late-war model? I've got the early war version (a D, I think) still in the box - well, bubble-wrap to be strictly accurate; does that one have any problems that you know of?

HI Baron,
the late war Warlord PzIV with schurzen is just nasty. I can't speak to the early war models. I converted a Warlord plastic one, before Rubicon brought out their plastic kit.

Here's what I think is a Warlord Resin Late War Panzer IV G/H one.

It's horrible.

It looks like the crew tried to render it inoperable before they broke down/ran out of fuel/got hit.

No, the early war one isn't too bad. I'm going to try and put it together and paint it for Germanuary (not sure about the decals, though - might leave those for a mate to do).

Since Doug bought my Finns I've splashed out on the Rubicon panzer and an Opel Blitz. Hopefully my virtual vappa entries.

Ah bugger. I forgot about Virtual Vappa. I should check on whether I have some valid entries. Definitely getting that Pz IV now.

Cool... I had intended to use the Comet ;) which reminds me, I must finish that.

Well, of course I purchased the Pz IV J, but the Rubicon shopping cart is struggling. I wonder if it's been programmed to do post Brexit tax differentials for EU & UK and had a breakdown?

Only 64p different on my order, but the bundle at £24 plus £3.21 postage, should not add up to £27.85.
