Distraction No. 1 Panzer Lehr Panzersahkompanie

I’ve got to be honest – when it comes to pretty much anything (that starts to feel like work anyway) I become easily distracted. Wargaming is no different as almost every week I see something that makes me think – “Oh gee – I’d love to do that…” and once its in my head it stays there until I’ve at least started it – which generally means buying at least some of the force, putting some stuff together – and then putting it all to one side when a new distraction comes along or an older project rears its head again.

My chief distraction at the moment is my painting of 10 Sd/Kfz 234/2 Pumas. 7 are the beautiful new BF sculpts and 3 are older Old Glory – I think. Anyway they don’t look too bad together.

I sprayed them on the weekend and last night started my simple magic wash treatment. That should be finished tonight and then I can move on to dry brushing and then air-brushing on the camo. Then they’re almost done.

The great thing about this distraction is that once the 10 Pumas are finished I can simply add them to already existing stuff and field a really different new force.

You’ll find if you follow this…anyone out there?…that I like odd little forces that are a bit different – hence writing the Churchill Squadron briefings that appear on the BF website.

One day - soon hopefully when I replace my busted camera - I'll show you some of this stuff.

Anyway – enough with the distractions – back to the main project I tell you…

Have fun
