They are brilliant, there is a strange "texture" to them that I can see but not describe.

Great looking unit!

Suetonius,

one question.
The polar bear insigna on the sleeves is printed on paper, than cut and glued?
I'm asking because it seems to me to spot the white "edge" of the sheet.
Maybe I'm wrong...

Thank you!
Marco

Indeed. They liberated (in part) my country in '45 and specifically the city of Utrecht if i remember correctly). ;-)

Command section so far:



Still to be added are Piat-, 2"mortar- and sniper teams. Also two more carriers, a Churchill and a Cromwell tank. Plenty more infantry to go as well..

I think your figures are marvelous. The 49th has always been my favourite division, my 1/48 Chlitern figures are representing that unit and I also always planned to do them for my Norway project too when I get that started.
Here is a 20mm diorama I did years ago. It was pretty terrible. The Polar Bear insignia is hand painted.
