I recently got on a role converting Wargames Factory plastic Germans into crew for my German self propelled gun (SPG) collection.  I have always hated opened top self propelled guns with ghost crew look.  I want my models to look alive and full of action, I want my SPGs to look less like a tonka truck and more like the WW2 pictures and and documentaries I grew up with.  I am also as addicted to modeling and painting as I am to playing, so this kind of stuff is up my alley.

 Life is settling into the inevitable winter her in the northern most reaches of America.  With fewer house and more nip to the air I took it upon myself to make some much needed command figures for my sprawling German tank force.  Previously I had been using German markers Allies and Axis from to identify my German command tanks, but this looked tacky.  I try to keep a plastic box of German and Soviet infantry laying around for needed odds and and ends or the occasion conversion binge.  I got the itch to convert and went to town on a whole mess of vehicles.
