Zvezda's Kit 6106 - German MG-34 with crew

Good day guys!

Hope you are all well.

In one of my last posts, I showed you what I bought from my local store. In the lot, there was Zvezda's #6106 kit - German MG-34 with crew. Last Monday, I managed to finish both MG elements and I added two figures (prone poses), from Italeri's (ex. Esci) German Soldiers (one of the first set of figures I ever bought in my life).

I needed to use the guys with the binoculars in seperate bases just in case I wanted to use them as forward observers (ex. for artillery) alongside some radio-men for the coordinates.

I followed the same principle in terms of basing, as I did with my Russian Maxim guns - meaning pizza stands, pieces of foliage cluster, pieces of plastic sprue, plaster and balsa wood.

On with the photos then...

I hope you like 'em! :-)

Have a great day guys!

Paintball Sunday!!!

Good day and good week my dear friends!

A busy weekend, the last was, in terms of housekeeping , social interactions and PAINTBALL games!

Yesterday (Sunday), I dug out my military equipment (from my service), dressed up, and became an actual toy soldier, only a bit taller though! :-)

I was going to participate in a game that takes place once a year in Greece, where people from many countries come to fight each other (does it ring any bell in terms of European/world history?) a series of DDay scenarios (beach landing, hill occupation, village clearing etc..). As you probably have understood, this event lasted all day and when it was finished, most of the participants, icluding me, were exhausted and very very dirty (I have to rething my painting approach towards my little men - they probably would be filthy while fighting for days, as it was usually the case....).

Soaked in sweat, filthy from dirt and multicoloured -as a rainbow- from hits (I got hit several times, but I managed to take out two 'Germans'), I decided to do it again when the chance is given!

My only suggestion if you decide to try it - have plenty of water guys... you can get thirsty really easily! :-)

Have a great day!

Broadside 2012 Show

Good day guys!

As you most people who visit my blog know, I live in Athens, Greece. I have lived in England as well, but that's a different story, not related to this post.... :-)

 While visiting other peoples' blogs, I stepped onto this one from Fran (aka The Angry Lurker, great blog by the way), who is mentioning his participation in an show called 'Broadside', alongside his friends, on June 10th.

This show hasn't got the promotion it needed (from our hobby related magazines), even though advertising space has been bought from them...If you visit one of the organisers' blog (Anything but a one), you'll see what occured.

Even though, I won't be able to attend this show (for obvious reasons), I thought that I could at least help by mentioning it to my blog, so you other Englishmen (and others interested) fellows, learn about it, and support it with thy(!!) presence.

I suggest you do the same! After all, as we say here in Greece 'one hand washes the other, and both of them wash the face'.

Go on guys, spread the word!!!! :-)

Cheers!!!
