You wrap up a nice package of minis.

Kudos!

Do you know what type of drop canisters they used if any?I ask because I'm making a couple of sets.for a pulp game.But I've no idea if there's a generic type or if every nation had its own take on one.as I might as well make several more,I've a wicker hamper done a British,and German canister half made.I planed on being finished by the weekend but if there's more I might as well make a full set so to speak.

I could see a market for that, especially now that bolt action have rules for airborne troops and both warlord and Perry are making plastic falschirmjager sets.

You're ahead of the curve there, I think we'll be seeing more airborne based releases, gotta have opposing forces...

They definitely had a drop bag with them which held the gun and another pouch for explosives which they hoped would land near them when they jumped
