Bolt Action - Japanese Army - Just a good start

Manufacturer:   a few (😅)

Scale:   28mm

Hi,

today´s post is about a project I have started - building a Japanese Army for BoltAction.

My main project concerning the Tyrolean Rebellion will be forced more as I want to get these figures finished to start with the first games of "Mustkets&Tomahawks" as soon as possible.

I have to point out that my interest in gaming WorldWar II hasn´t been a favourite one, but I always thought of a Japanese Army as my friend Franz already has a force of US MarineCorps. Within years I bought some things here and some things there, but never laid too much enthusiasm into a real start into this project. 

About six weeks ago some friends and me had a game of Germans against British troops and also a game of Russians against Fins about three weeks ago. The games had been great and my interest for this period awoke and I remembered myself about my collection of my Japanese.

Yesterday I got some further mdf-buildings from 4Ground and SarrissaPrecision. After building these stuff I decided to check the status quo of this army.

There are so far

- some tanks, already painted (WarlordGames)

- about 25 painted soldiers (WarlordGames) that I had bought on ebay about two years ago

- one painted Mitsubishi Zero 1:48  (no data about the manufacturer)

- one HMG-team painted by myself (WarlordGames)

- one landing craft (SarrissaPrecision)

- one jungle hut (SarrissaPrecision)

- a lot of palm trees and terrain (https://www.tabletop-modellbau.de/)

- and a big pile of shame of unpainted figures (as always)

I hope to find a way of quick painting the unpainted figures for I don´t want to spend too much time on these guys as my main painting project is still the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809.

Here are just a few pictures of yesterday´s photo shooting - a Japanese force training a landing assault.

Cheers

Mike

A view on the whole scenery.

Yesterday´s delievery.

The beach.

The Airfield with a single Mitsubishi Zero

The only figures painted by myself so far - a HMG-Team.

Japanese soldiers advancing.

A view on the new landing craft - I should get more of them.

Under heavy fire.

There always should be a place for exhausted fighters to relax.

Hello again,

this time I´m posting some more photographs from the fantastic lasercut buildings of the British company 4Ground. 

This company really seems to be one of the shooting stars as there had been a lot of traders on CRISIS dealing with their products.

I can´t remember that the buildings of 4Ground had been so popular last year.

In my opinion the prices for the buildings are also human.

As I told in one of my last posts I didn´t only buy the timber block house but also two other buildings, being two settlers log cabins.

After glueing the parts you can just use them on your wargaming table.

But for sure I will work on the bases and also on the roofs.

One of my next posts will show the totally finished houses.

I like the structure of the wooden blocks.

Each house is constructed so every single floor could be used.

Ideal for skirmishes.
You could also place little cannons on the first floor.
I would have shown but I didn´t find the shipguns that I have in my stock. :(

Another view on the first floor.

You can also open the door on the floor ground.

A view on the ground floor.

There is a lot of detail as you can see on the door.

One of the settlers log cabins.

The back view.

Again a picture with the roof removed.

Here also the door shows a lot of detail.

The second log cabin.

The front side.

A view at the rear of the house.

Both roofs removed.

A look inside the cabin.

Another perspective.

The cabins placed on the battle field.

My compliments to 4Ground.

I surely will buy other buildings and also furniture to set the cabins.

Cheers

Mike
