I made a couple of brew-up/burn markers for marking which tanks/vehicles are now just terrain features on the battlefield after being destroyed… I suppose they could also mark houses that have been lit up, or ever piles of trash that might have been lit, or anything that could possibly burn on the battlefield…
(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version):
The markers are essentially tore-up pieces of Styrofoam glued to washer bases (for weight and durability). I’m not fond of Styrofoam terrain pieces as they tend not to be terribly durable – but there’s a few layers of pain on these and a good layer of paint-on matte varnish, so I’m hoping they’ll last at least a little bit…
A T-34 brews up somewhere on the Eastern Front.
Luckily this Canadian Sherman crew was able to bail before their tank brewed up.
...as did this panzer crew - though, one seems to have been injured...
Works for moderns too: Flame and smoke boil out of hte hatches of a knocked out BTR-60
Sometimes that ERA just doesn't work... (darn, I'd got out a few of the modern British casualty markers to litter the area around the burning Warrior, but as it was one of hte last pictures I was getting a bit cold and in the hurry to finish up I totally forgot...)
Works on the 20mm/1:72 kits as well...
I should probably do a few more of these... especially if I started building up all the 1:72 kits I have - I could have some gloriously large armoured actions! Brewed up vehicles everywhere! MWA-HA-HA-Ha-Ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa...
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Some 28mm Modern Soviets seem more likely to be finished up next. I started the batch last night, but didn't make much progress as I sat down to paint them while listening to the feature commentary track on Paul... I made a lot of mistakes while laughing - which seriously impeded my progress!
Perhaps before that, however, I may have another Bolt Action AAR....
