Friday 9 August 2019

Although I have had little time recently to model I have managed some progress. The Quartermaster Transport battalion has been completed. This is the last battalion to complete the Army Group at this time other than three Command battalions that are on hold pending the organisational changes mentioned in previous posts. With completion of this battalion the Army Group now numbers 45,172.


The photo above shows two of the three transport companies with just 5 more GS wagons needed to complete the equipment.


This photo shows the third Transport company on the left with the headquarters company on the right.

Other tasks currently in hand include the building of a batch of 34 office wagons to complete the equipment of Command battalions.


This batch includes a number of signals vehicles which can be seen on the top row equipped with paperclip aerials. These vehicles now await painting in olive drab. The horses for these vehicles are made and primed on one side.


These horses are waiting to be painted "horse" brown after which they will be glued on the painted side to the wagons. I find the painted side gives a good key for the glue. The rest of the horse is then primed and "browned".
Finally I am well advanced with the first batch of three new Cavalry squadrons also mentioned in a previous post.


These 66 new Cavalrymen are complete apart from the "browning" of the horses.
