More 20mm WW1 toys, this time the Emhar Whippet. These are beautiful models and I can't recommend them highly enough, really capture the look of the original and are very easy to assemble with nice hard plastic tracks.

| If only all tanks were like these. |
 |
| Like a lot of WW1 tanks, you do need to be a bit careful not to knock the MGs off as they stick out quite a bit. |
 |
| The vehicles come with a wide range or markings as is typical from Emhar. They include the red/white ID stripes but in the end I painted them on instead as the front track guards are not a good place to try and stick decals on with lots of raised bits and great big holes in evidence. |
 |
| Like its bigger brethren, lots of rivets and hard lines to catch washes and drybrushing. |
These are finished in khaki brown with a brown inkwash and drybrushing of the highlights. They haven't been out to play much although I have done a couple of combined cavalry/Whippet games. I partly got them to use as the Whippet battalions for the Battle of Amiens, which I'll do one day using Megablitz or OP14 or Drumfire or something...
Nice work Martin, Emhar really did a great series of WW1 kits. I've heard rumours that they are doing a MKIV ' Tadpole' too....

Thanks Pete. More tanks are always nice but my 20mm WW1 vehicles have reached the limit of their allocated storage (and are even having to share their box with some French heavy artillery!).
ReplyDeleteAh still plenty of room in my box file for them, managed to pick up a resin MKV from Early War Miniatures for a decent price today.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your plan for them all in the end?
Cheers,
Pete.
