Looking forward to 'em.  My SS MG42 team is already done.  I have a US 57mm gun - it could proxy for 6-lbr if you don't mind the missing muzzle brake... :o

That looks really nice.  And I forgot about the muzzle brake.  The US 57 won't do at all, unless I can come up with some excuse why it ain't got its damn muzzle brake...oh well... 8)

Thanks Jim.
I stuck a little resin sandbag piece on this, as I thought my DIY ones were looking a tad off, but considering it was a commercial piece; I'm now thinking my Milliput specials maybe aren't that bad...

Very Nice!. For what it's worth I reckon your Milliput sand bags are every bit as good, if not better than the commercial ones.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

That's very nice of you to say so. What with all those bits on my Vietnam thread, I've had enough practice, do try to establish some sort of consistency.
The bags however, do tend to end up getting rather large...

Had a go at turning a Warlord Combat Engineer pack into some late War Sappers.

Well done. The painting ties them in well with the rest of your force.

Cracking mate, I can see the hoods and bottom of the smocks you've greenstuffed, anything else?

Thanks, I may add some 'snow' to get them to fit in with the others.

The Smock were pretty much it, and some cable/wires to the bloke with the mine detector.

Also added another MG42 for the SS

Cheers guys, got a Para Vickers team on the go.

...and just because; that MG42 gunner (even though you can't see his face) is a Dead (or Alive) ringer for post op Pete.
It's uncanny just how close the resemblance is...
