Went with grey as these were pre-built for the invasion? (Unsure of this though)
Assembled German invasion barges?
Wednesday, 3 August 2011
20mm Painted WW2 German Landing Barges Type A1.
2 German landing barges Type A1 from Frontline Wargaming (you get what you pay for) for the Operation Sealion project, not a bad size and look good for the period, I've got some Kriegsmarine for a shore party, may get some crew figures (like U-boat figures?) for the barges and a tug boat I'm currently painting.

They look spot on Fran. From the period pic, it looks like they have just converted some barges and I wonder if the tall square structure on the end of them is for the crew of the vehicles that would be in the covered holds?
ReplyDeleteNothing quite like a beach landing and watch out for the home guard defending the ice cream palour.
Very impressive, Fran.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, look just right.
ReplyDeleteThey look acurate and really big^^.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice, look forward to seeing them with the tug-boat too
ReplyDeleteVery nice Fran, they look like they will fit in well.

ReplyDeleteBest regards Dalauppror
Very handsome models. I think the grey is an excellent color choice.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, fascinating period of history
ReplyDeleteThose are quite nice. They look like they'd be a nice scratch build project too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice landing barges.They certainly look the part. Ideal for your project.
ReplyDeleteyeah...a few guys out swabbing the decks would be a good touch.
ReplyDeleteThose look great - love the armor all wedged up inside!
ReplyDeletelove how they even have those planks, or what do they call them, so that tanks could get out.
ReplyDeletewhich side are you on here? lol
ReplyDeleteLooks just like the real thing man! Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool models; interesting project too! Regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteWhisk: I missed you, cooking on Sunday for the Rejects.
ReplyDeleteYou are? Very cool. Hope it's yummy. Will there be pictures? Hope so.
ReplyDeleteBeen working on the blanket business. I really really under estimated the amount of time this takes to put together.
Hugs from me and Miss Wig.
Maybe gray is just harder to see on the water.
ReplyDeleteDo they float? :P
ReplyDeleteUncanny resemblance.
ReplyDeleteThey look good...they can be used to "barge in" on a beach party :-D Sorry, dreadfull pun :-D
ReplyDeleteCheers

Hmm...excellent prototype ideas for my new Brew Canoe...
ReplyDeleteLovely job - usable in a range of scenarios and genres too!
ReplyDeletethink the grey works fine but maybe a darker shade
ReplyDeleteI always appreciate when vehicles designed to transport other vehicles are scaled appropriately.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of one of those popping up on a beach and unleashing a squad of tanks is unsettling.
ReplyDeleteVery cool indeed. I've always liked barges.
ReplyDeleteNice looking ships! Love the tanks.
ReplyDeleteWhy the uncertainty. They looks fantastic Fran!
