I just finished my 28mm Machine Gun Nest kit from
Architects of War. A played a game a few weeks ago and had to attack one of these guys - let's just say the dice gods were angry at me. The Kit consists of 2 resin pieces - the base and the top. It also comes with 2 machine gun options a german version and a water cooled one that can be used as either a Browning for WWII or a generic maxim gun for WWI.
The casting of the resin piece is very nicely done. There was no flash or any clean-up needed. I primed the whole think black and then dry brushed all of the main colors on. A little bit of ground foam and other scenery bits and there-you-go.
Here is a photo of the nest from the rear - kind of reminds me of a hobbit home. I was going to paint a camo pattern on the tarp that covers the door but got lazy.
The top of the machine gun nest is removable, which one uses during a game to so the nest after it's been taken out (which I was never able to do in the game). There are some nice details in the rubble which add some real character to the completed project. I had a fun time completing the kit and highly recommend it.
I was interested in trying some 28 mm WWII gaming .... do you have a rule set to recommend ?
ReplyDeleteI really don't use a commercial ruleset - we've been play testing a home grown ruleset lately. I've heard good things about Rules of Engagement but haven't bitten the bullet and purchased a set.
