I recently
bought a book from Osprey publishing. It’s Warrior 93 - German Infantryman (3)
Eastern Front 1943–45. From the front page as you see in the photo below, you
see some Artillery men preparing some missiles by putting the fuses on their
tops. If you look more closely, you will see that these missiles are being put
on a wood pallet, to keep them dry. See
where I am getting to??? ;-)
I thought
that I could make some on my own, with what I had in hand. Some balsa wood, some matches, a
pen, some PVA glue and some acrylic paints.
The photos can help you see the procedure I followed for making them. Assembly and painting, simple as that.
Below you
see the finished pallets. A quite generic and simple terrain piece, but I think
they would complement my ammo crates
sufficiently. After their assembly, they were painted in a dark brown colour,
highlighted with some Panzer Aces Old wood and some VMC Green Grey. Same thing
as my Eastern Front wooden gates I did a
while ago.
As you see
in this photo, I used one figure from my newly painted Artillery crew figures from Hat (#8256). They fit in
rather well.
I hope you
like ‘em!
