Herbst ‘44 I have learned a lot from my Ligny project and decided to employ some ideas to a different era.. The following is the result. The T34s are mainly repainted die cast models I picked up at a wargames conference and the troops are from various manufacturers including SHQ, Italieri, Hat, PSC etc. I have also converted many of the casualties. The barbed wire is from Pegasus and at 28mm scale is slightly too big. However I hope that it does not detract too much. The die cast models are brilliant because you can set fire to them without them melting! The basic idea is pinched from one of my favourite war films, The Cross of Iron, with some additional research about Eastern front defences. Fellow modellers may find this link interesting. link Happy modelling.

The die cast models are brilliant because you can set fire to them without them melting! If I had known that as a kid it would have saved many a tank model from becoming a melted blob.
