Title: British and Commonwealth for the Far East (late war)
Post by: TacticalPainter on May 01, 2021, 03:59:47 AM

As a follow up to my post about my British and Commonwealth for the early part of the war in the Far East this one focusses on the later years. Our recent playing of the Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy campaign 'Opium Hill' for Chain of Command was a good reminder of how the Far East theatre lends itself to skirmish and platoon level actions. With a Far East Handbook somewhere on the horizon I thought I'd pull together a post about what I've been making for this later stage of the war.

Great paint job on those figs!  I too like the color of green you used on those guys.

Thank you. The base colour is Vallejo Green Grey and highlights with a mix of that and Dark Sand.

Yup, very nice.  Having built lots of tropical trees, I was very tempted to collect Chindits myself.  I will just have to look at your AARs!

Nicely done, think you've got the weathering on the tanks just right.
