When's an M5 half track not an M5?

When you realise you've bought a box of M3 half tracks, complete with US crew for your Brit force. D'oh!
You'd think the American infantry would be a big give away!

Having also received my copy of Battle Group Overlord (BGO) I've been busy beavering away on list building and shopping lists too. No doubt my US half tracks will see use in a future build for BGO at some point in time.

2 and 1/2 infantry sections.

I also received a box of Plastic Soldier Company late war Brit infantry. First impressions are they are better sculpts than my battlefront metal infantry (they have better scaled feet, hands and heads) and I'll be interested to see how they compare with the Peter Pig and Skytrex stuff I have in a box.

On the painting desk.

On the desk I have the battlefront Desert Rats in Normandy infantry. I'm going for a layer painting approach but they have very fine creases in the clothing so I'm having to be creative in my application of paint to the folds. Going for about 5 layers on the uniform, inspired muchly by this site: Modelbrush ww2 Brit painting guide

So, I need to buy some half tracks, anyone got a few going cheap?

  2. A Gambling Experience Through the 2021 Play Online Satta King Game
    Have you ever considered playing the 2021 game on your computer? You may have seen the ads for it on TV and in magazines. The game is called Satta King. In case you don't know, Satta means pot. That makes the game of online gambling all the more interesting to me.
    What is exciting about satta matka result? First of all, you never know what you are going to get. If you are playing a satta game, there are usually several pots to win. If you are trying to select the best bet satta result, the best bets are those that will produce the highest payout. It is very easy to lose money in satta because if you don't know when to stop, or how much to put down, you can spend too much on trying to hit the "sweet spot." That's why I love matka matka.There are other types of online betting games that you can play on the Internet. Some of them are referred to as blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, poker, etc.
