I have been messing around with some German horse transport recently and I wanted to get some photos of some museum examples of German horse harness for the small trailers (jigs as we call them in Australia). So when I was on tour this week with guests I managed to snap a few at the DDay experience museum. I will pass these onto Dan who is adding 3d files for us crazy Wargamers so I can have the correct harness!

Book Review :- Flak, A photo study of German anti-aircraft weapons
Look what arrived in the post today!
I have had this on preorder for some time and I am very excited to see it arrive with my friendly postie!
A lot of first time photos for me, as the book starts with Machine guns through to the big stuff and Rockets. Lots of great photos of flak wagons, and truck mounted pieces including a few rare ones.
I was particularly interested to see the more unusual MG mounts, the Flak 20, 37 and 88 position layouts, with ammo, reference for the crew etc and the remote controlled rockets.
Looking forward to modelling some of these beasts over the coming year.
Cheers

Fallschirmjager support elements
Off the desk actually more than two weeks ago but managed to get some photos today while packing away and cleaning up my desk for the next project. 28mm Warlord metal miniatures much better than the plastic offerings.
Cheers

Mad March III
More Mad March modelling madness completed, this time a soviet radio truck from ICM, I had a devil of a time fitting the wheel arches, but it is together!

Mad March WIP II
I purchased these last year in preparation to add artillery support to my American Armour, I have also pitched some 155mm towed but need tractors for them to complete the battery.
These are fast build Italeri, I think I had them built in around 3 hours. Nice little fast build kits although the tracks leave a little to be desired. I will add American crews from Alder or AB after I have painted them.
Cheers
