| Flakpanzer 38 with card shield |
I got a chance to catch up on some of my Flames of War miniature projects this weekend. First up are the Flak Panzer 38s.
Of my two models, only one had half a gun shield by the time I got around to assembling them. I attached the metal half-shield previously and then decided to use some thin card to do the rest of the work. Obviously, they look a little bit irregular in size/shape (and the full shield is glued on crooked...sigh) - but I think they will pass muster once painted and on the table.

I had originally thought about trying to work something up using plastic styrene, but thin card had a lot going for it: it was easy to bend, easy to find the right thickness (cracker box thickness), and cheap - something headed for the recycling bin. I think the thin card works really well at the 15mm scale and would recommend it to anyone needing to make a fix or conversion on something that won't likely get handled too much.
