I recently completed two Plastic Soldier Company Halftracks for the long-winded Stalingrad project. There's more pictures on the blog as usual: link Thanks for looking!

I share braken's enthusiasm towards your work. I do try not to drool, however, as I share this computer with others… |

LOL, thanks guys, don't drool too much! You're both too kind! |

Like the paint job but bewildered at the bases. |

Thanks, there are those that like bases on vehicles and those that don't. I happen to be in the former camp. |

I'm leaning more towards bases on 20mm…..stops Fingers From groping your paintwork and makes storage easy. Do you use a standard Base size for your models? |

Bases make sense, you put figures on bases? Why not vehicles? It also allows for a 'shadow' on the vehicle, so you can use it for measuring accurately. Like you say they also stop damage from fingers and storage, there is a million plus points for bases. Not really, I standardize them for each type of vehicle, as I usually paint several of the same types of vehicle at once, but not much beyond that! |

I think there are many good points against bases, but it is a personal issue, and not one which can be decided by appeals to reason. Do the PSC halftracks come with the stowage gear? They're a nice way of personalizing the vehicles. |

Well I can't think of "many" good points against bases for vehicles. The main one would be vehicles with a grassy base positioned on a road, but I can live with that for the small amount of time that that happens. Just examine Piers Brand's work (sorry Alex!) and tell me that based vehicles don't look good. |

Tuscaloosa, you're right it's a personal preference. That's the bottom line. Yep, the 251s come with some very nice stowage, including kit bags, weapons and jerry cans.
Deephorse, don't apologise, Piers' stuff is amazing. |
