A mate wants to play some WW II PTO games with the USMC vs Japanese in 1/72 scale so I volunteered to supply some Japanese forces as I still have from the 1970's three boxes of Airfix Japanese infantry and a Chi Ha tank!
We'll also need some Jap ATG's, HMG's and Artillery but I don't have any of this stuff and I'm on a budget so I figure I could build some diorama bases to represent them!
Anyway here is a sample of a Japanese ATG without actually having one or a crew supported by some infantry in thick jungle (in game terms if we want to represent an ATG in a non-emplaced situation we'll just have to note it)...
This is how it started out some sticks on a bit of plastic!
Now I need to build a second one of these, 2 HMG emplacements and a dug in artillery gun!
More pictures of my 1/72 WW II Japanese forces are on the TSOG Blog...
