British Paratrooper Platoon
« on: 29 March 2009, 04:29:24 PM »
Finally based and took some piccies of my British Paratrooper platoon in 28mm. Figs by Artizan, Bolt Action, a few Battle Honors and Crusader.

Overall platoon and support...


Command


Bren team


First Squad



Bren Team


Second Squad



Recon squad


Sniper teams




PIAT teams
'


Vickers HMG


Mortar


6 Pounder Anti tank gun



I have a 30 pounder laying around somewhere without a crew, and a few rece jeeps too.

This is actually my first complete force that I completely bought and painted my self. (Some of my Waffen SS and Russians are repaints of my Dads work)

regards,

Brad :grin:

They look super and well done to you.

Looking forward to seeing the opposing side when you are completed.

I posted an extensive tutorial a while back, here's the link. http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=9609.0

All the brands were quite nice...I have to say the Bolt Action ones were very nice with lots of detail, and I have always liked Battle Honors for their quality and price. The Artizan and Crusader ones weren't bad either.

regards,

Brad :)
