Nationalist Chinese Armor

Image
 Got these two knocked out today. I really enjoy painting armor. The tank, a Panzer 1, is kinda a real lame kit from Warlord Games. I would not recommend. However the armored car, an SdKfz 222 is from Rubicon and was delightful. Rubicon really is a top shelf company, and they have a bunch of kits I hope to get some day.  I'm feeling kinda frustrated at the moment. I'm not getting a lot painted and I just can't shake this unmotivated blight. A big problem is that I just don't really have much hope of playing any games anytime soon. Eh, ho hum.  My Nationalist Chinese list is curated, and from all my left over Chinese minis I've put together a Chinese Communist Guerilla list. I'm both amused that I have the minis and disappointed that I have the minis lol.  But enough rambling, here's the armor.    These were a pain in the butt to do, the camo, on man, what agony! But they're looking pretty nice, despite my crummy photo skills. Enjoy! 

Type 95 Ha-Go for IJA

 After fiddling around obsessive like with my IJA list I've changed a few things in-order to swap out the Type 94 Tankette with a Type 95 Ha-Go light tank. I've also managed to fit in a Type 41 75mm Mountain Gun, but that's still on the work bench.  Why? Because my OG list is a generic reinforced platoon, and I just don't like generic reinforced lists. This new list is mostly the same with some changes, but more importantly is from the Palau 44 selector and this is more historically based. Sure I know, just write a historically based generic list, but, bah. I've access to the book, might as well use it.  Anyways, the tank is done (?) but I may pick at it a little more. I noticed when taking the pictures I forgot the head lights. I should really build a photo box, these night time photos aren't the best. Long standing varnish issues persist. It looks wet.. matt varnish is suppose to be flat.. hmm, I need to do more research.  Here's the tank, enough blatherin
