Italian Airborne finished
« on: 11 May 2015, 11:23:02 AM »
Managed to get some photos of these badboys done today. Posted them to my blog at

Had a bit of fun trying out a few different scenic bases. Let me know what you think!

Truly like your style: pallet, basing, and modelling.

You wrap up a nice package of minis.

Kudos!

Really nice work.
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...

I had a re-read through of the Osprey and couldn't see any reference to anything like that. But I may be wrong!
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
