Italeri 1-72 scale ZIS Anti-Tank Gun and Crew
Also got the chance to get this superb Italeri offering on the table during the same game recent Winter games too.
I painted up the ground for Winter, but after seeing the AT gun here in the photo, I'm thinking maybe I should whitewash the gunshield.
The crew figures are a joy to paint, full of detail and convincing poses, albeit a little on the large side. They make my Airfix 1/76 scale Russians look like scrawny little juveniles.

Repainted (whitewashed) 1/72 scale Altaya Die-Cast Panzer IV
We've been gaming a few Winter scenarios set in urban / city ruins and it gave me the chance to get these new repainted Altaya Panzer IVs onto the table.
They originally come in "panzer grey".
I had to completey degrease these two tanks before I painted them as for some strange reason I found when I took them out of the box they were covered in a thick oily film all over.

Wargame Photos - City Ruins & Street Fighting
With a few members of our gaming club, we recently finally got ourself enough 1/72 scale city ruins to get a decent sized game going.
We decided to work on this about 6 weeks ago and together we scratch-built various ruins, and also finally painted some resin ones that had been lying around unpainted for a long time. The results can be seen below.
One of Carlos' modified Altaya Sd.Kfz 250, now converted into an early war mortar carrier with 2 Pegasus figures and 50mm mortar inside
A Revell Russian sniper (very effective during the game by the way) in one of Juan's scratch-built ruins.
Matchbox Sdkfz 251, one of Carlos' repainted Altaya Pz IIIs and in the background a scratch-built factory by Iván.
The interior of Iván's factory (with my double-pinned Russian infantry hiding out in there).
That's what you call a "fire-engine". One of my Russian SMG squads tries to flush out some Germans (The squad is made up from Chinese copies of old Esci hard-plastic 1/72 Russians, which in turn are scaled-down copies of the old Airfix 1/32 scale Russians ..........if all that makes sense.....) Complicated anecdotes aside, these fellas got thrashed as they came onto the table by one of Juan's "last-man-alone" German squads !
Intense house to house fighting. The ruins are resin I bought off a friend, Rob, some time back. They've been hanging around for about a year now, and were painted last week by Carlos for the game.
Carlos' Pegasus German Infantry Gun and crew in a crater made by Juan.
Nice atmospheric shot, Revell and Airfix grenade throwers silhouetted by a smokescreen thrown up by the Germans to cover their advance.
Airfix and Revell Russians trying to take the factory.
For the game, the scenario was put together by Carlos and he used a system of entry points into the sewers.
Juan made these excellente stands with manhole covers as entry points a couple of days before the game.
They added a really nice touch and the opposing squads were able to enter and exit at different points on the table.
