This weekend was quite productive: 80+ miniatures painted, including two towed anti-tank gun teams.

| GZG Towed Anti-Tank Guns |
I have been meaning to paint these for years; not sure what finally made me get around to these. The scheme was simple: ESU camo pattern on the crew and a color modulation green on the guns.
- Vallejo NATO Green Primer
- Vallejo Camo Black Green over the whole model.
- Vallejo Camo Green on all upper gun areas.
- Vallejo Camo Light Green on exposed areas
- Vallejo Light Green (from the Russian modulation kit) as a final highlight on exposed areas).
- Vallejo Matte Black on the wheels.
- Vallejo Gun Metal on ammo cannisters.
- Washed in thinned Minwax Polyshades Tudor
- Tamiya Weathering pigments (Light Green and Sand)
The crew are removable. They are held in place with blue tac. I struggled with the decision on whether to base the crew permanently to the base along with the gun. In the end I decided that the gun was more akin to a vehicle rather than an infantry support weapon. By making the crew removable I could accommodate both the rules from Tomorrow's War and allow different crews (i.e. non ESU troops) to man the guns.
Overall I am pleased with the outcome. I have another two guns to complete, but they will likely be im the field artillery versions rather than anti-tank guns.
