Plastic Soldier 15mm T-34s WIP

A WIP photo of the Plastic Soldier T-34s that are on my workbench.  I built them OOB with the multi-part tracks, but if Plastic Soldier included the single part option, as seems to be the case with the Panzer IV, I would have used them to save a few minutes on the build.  I included some cast texture on the 85mm turrets with a bit of acrylic impasto medium (I put a dab of contrasting acrylic paint into the medium so that I can see where I've been, as it is translucent when it dries).  I also built the 76mm turrets so that they can be mixed and matched for versatility on the gaming table.


I haven't weighted any of my Plastic Soldier models, but I understand that some gamers do to prevent them from floating across the table.

Plastic Soldier 15mm Panthers

I have just put the finishing touches (excluding the final matt varnish) on a Plastic Soldier Panther Platoon.  This is the unit that I have finished for FoW, although I have a substantial number of WIP vehicles and infantry.  I have been impressed with the Plastic Soldier Company models and look forward to completing more over the coming months.

The vehicle numbers and balkenreuz are from Dom's Decals.  These were a breeze to use and I settled them into place with a splash of Microset and a liberal application of gloss varnish.

The Panthers were painted-up as a mixed bag of late war survivors with the aim of being able to press the into service against both US and Soviet adversaries.
