Pendraken Painting Competition 2021

After a year or two away, those nice chaps at Pendraken are running another Pendraken Painting Competition with some rather nice prizes on offer as always. The standard is always incredibly high with some very talented painters and modellers out there. As is the way of things I had planned on painting some units up that needed doing anyway, but failed completely! However I had some armour from the past 12 months that would just about pass muster, so some quick shots were taken this evening in the vain hope I might get close to a prize.

All the miniatures are from Pendraken's WWII and are naturally 10mm. So without further ado:

M41 Carro Comando


StuH-42 105mm


AB-41 Armoured Car


M13/40's


M11/39's



L3 CR Command Tankette


SPA Dovunque 35 with AA Gun


 
The preponderance of Italian kit is for a planned campaign, more of which in another post, as well as an ongoing fascination with the Sicilian Campaign and the Invasion of Mainland Italy. More updates on 'stuff' soon, but I'd better submit my photos before it's too late!

    1. Thanks Jonathan:). The Italian camo schemes are fun to paint and they changed as much as the Germans, so plenty of options at various times!

  4. Nice to see Italian armour getting the love - and a particular contrast to your splendid Soviet T-35 of yesteryear's submission, which sticks in my mind as being a superb 10mm monster :-)

    1. Thanks Norm. I had planned on painting some more armour for the comp, but lacked the motivation, especially with the lovely weather of late. Still there's always next time...

    1. Thanks Matt. I don't think mine will win, but they might have a chance, you never know. It's a good chance to see others painting styles, which can spark ideas etc which is always a good thing.
