Nebelwelfer batterie plus friends

150mm Welfer battery 

Cobbled together from broken bits with a scratch crew
The barrels are some parts are from the old Esci set, but they were smashed to bits, so I build carriages from Pak36 AT guns and anything else i could dream up.
  



Britannia SS crew
 I`ve modified the legs to look like ankle boots


Britannia commander (modified as above) operator with firing box (an AB Figures tank rider who used to have an MG ammo can)

L-R 
EWM halftrack crewman (modified as above + added rocket), PSC AT gunner with added rocket, Raventhorpe gunner/engineer with modified legs and added rocket

Two Raventhorpe gunners/engineers (one head swapped), pile of rockets and containers (Esci plastic)

A half squad of panzergrenadiers

  1. Nice job Richard. They are something lacking from my German collection.

  2. Cheers pete

    Crew are a real pain to source -
    Britannia do just 3 SS figures in smock but have marching boots?
    SHQ do a set of 4
    AB do a set of 4 in uniform and another 4 in panzer jacket (so you can`t mix the two sets).

    None do enough figures for a 2 gun battery - quite frustrating :(

    Wont win any prizes, but looks fine at 4ft away across a tabletop.
