Bugger. I just know I am going to have to do LW commonwealth and volksgrenadier platoons at some stage.

Amazing work! Motivational too, seeing as I still have some primed versions of these around.  ::)

Top job!

cheers chaps. These and pack VG6 came with a rather nice resin 251 halftrack:

If you take the cost of the figures off the 251 & crew are just £12!

Both those sets look great.

That bloke doesn't look very happy lugging the tripod about! Cracking work as always.

Nice, who makes this Churchill? I have a few Tamiya ones on order. Maybe I will actually get some hobbying done this year and start up a rival/ fan thread about my Scots.  lol

Which regiment(s) are you doing? I've gone for generic 51st Division, but relatives fought in the Lowland Division too.

I was thinking the 52nd, or I might go for a Canadian Division. Still haven't applied paint to figure yet. So its still up in the air.

Funnily enough, I have the figures painted up as HD for North Africa and Normandy, I'm planning to eventually do HD as BEF as well (probably using 1st Corps when they release them), and Late War HD using Empress.

This is the Bolt Action 1/56th, fairly straight forward kit with two turret options, decal sheet and some damage markers.

They also do a decal sheet for 51st Div infantry. Shame no 52nd Div, so contemplating some attempt at freehand on those figures sporting battle dress.
