Rubicon Tiger I Ausf. E

You can't talk about World War II tanks and not talk about the Tiger, probably the most famous tank of the era.

Bolt Action SdKfz 234/2 Puma

This is the first of an upcoming series of reviews about some recent tank kits. I'll start with the Puma or SdKfz 234/2 Armoured Car from Warlord Games for Bolt Action.

January reinforcement

I didn't have the chance, to show you what was new in January in the chaosbunker. At the HdR Szenario, i took the chance and bought some of the Heer46 novelties. Denis offers some special dice from time to time, so i pre-ordered a few Crusader dice and the Gebirgsjäger dice, which due to the impressive stag head will fit nicely in a fantasy setting (lets say Westeros Baratheon). Then he had the first one of a new range of 1:56 / 28mm miniatures for World War 2 and a new 1:100 / 15mm B4 203mm howitzer.

Spanish Crusaders

Small progress on the Crusaders, put the remaining miniatures on bases. I got custom cut round 50x25mm cavalry bases. Those will fit into "carrier" bases for other systems like Kings of War or Impetus, and will fit Saga as well as Lion Rampant.

WT auf Pz IV

An update on the modified Panzer IV from Warlord Games. The second World of Tanks vehicle, that i brought into 1:56, is the Waffenträger auf Panzer IV. Based upon the new plastic kit and a PaK 40, i added plastic card, a few bitz and green stuff, to fit my needs.

The gun shield of the PaK 40 is to small, as well as the gun just doesn't look like right. So i scratchbuilt a larger gun shield along with something that looks closer to a PaK 44 / 12,8 cm.

WT auf Pz IV, Banner and Conventions

Weekend Update with Seth Meyers ... erm, no. But Weekend Update is right. Busy weekend.

This weekend was the HdR Szenario, a small convention in the Pfalz. Its held at a Inn outside of a small town and used to be on a castle, the Kauzenburg. So a couple of gaming tables, workshops and a few traders. Quite a nice convention.

Panzers and Crusader

This update is lurking around since last sunday, pictures taken but no text. So sorry for the delay. I was busy building tanks and armoured vehicles last weekend. I prepared the latest kits from Warlord Games for Bolt Action, the new Panzer IV Ausf. F1/G/H and the SdKfz 234/2 Puma.

The Panzer IV is a great kit, improved a lot compared for example with the Sherman. I took the chance and build the DERP Tier 5 from World of Tanks Version, Panzer IV Ausf. H with 10,5 cm KwK L28. Fear my HE-Shells! I modified the Sideskirts, a bit tricky but i think worth the time.

It is the first of January, and welcome to 2015. I have a few good resolutions for this year, in first line more painting and gaming. Starting next weekend at the HdR Szenario near Bad Kreuznach.

So what's next at the 'bunker? Well, i bought some Matchbox vehicles. I saw them in different army projects, among others in the Bolt Action Facebook Group and Stoessi Bolt Action Army. I was irritated, because i would have thought the scale would be off, but it works great, as you can see with the Warlord Games Jeeps and a Perry Kübelwagen. What can i say? I was happy and i bought a set of 6 jeeps for just 15 euros. I'll buy some Kübelwagen next.
