Team Yankee US forces so far

The below photos show my US forces so far for my 1/72 Team Yankee / One Hour Wargames home brew rules.

I can now call on 1 M60A3, 4 M1 Abrams, 2 Sheridan light tanks and 2 units of Mechanised Infantry mounted in a pair of M113 APCs to defend Western Europe from the Red tide of Communism. God bless America (and their main battle tanks!)

I got a job lot of Abrams in a lucky ebay purchase so I converted one to serve as scatter terrain. After attacking the hull with some pliers and a liberal application of black / brown paint over the damage, I had a wrecked tank to put on the wargaming table.







M10 Tank Destroyers and 2nd King Tiger finished

Going forwards I'm going to try and improve my blog photos with better backgrounds for my finished units.

Starting with my three most recently finished WW2 tanks, two M10s from Armourfast and a King Tiger from Pegasus Hobbies. The latter was customised with PSC tank accessories. I'm really happy with the weathering, and I've managed to play around with the effects on my phone camera. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
