Thanks guys. Tried a different base colour on the bloke in the windproof, think I prefer this version.
The LVT-4 (Rubicon kit) I bought on ebay arrived; stuck it together and sprayed it black, then the ARVN packs arrived today & the Siren song is sounding large...

Cracking stuff again mate, it's the little details that really make it, the webbing, crates, weapons etc

Thanks Rick, I'd picked up a weapons sprue that had some basic pouches & pistol holsters, but sadly no water bottles.

Very atmospheric Ash.

Cheers Mark.

More good stuff, Ash.  Well done!

Thanks Jim.

Stuck the LVT-4 together & given it a blast of primer; not sure if I used the correct side panels (I liked them more than the plain smoth ones), but too late now...

Got some paint on this, not  found the Rubicon Polsten & vehicle mount for this as yet, but will add another time.






Also got these British Snipers (very kindly sent by Tin Shed Gamer) painted & based.

Both snipers and LVT looking good. I have one I printed undercoated and awaiting attention when I do my Late War British... yours is a very helpful inspiration.  :)

Yeah - well done again!  A few more LTV's and you can do Operation Plunder...

Or maybe Operation Infatuate to liberate Walcheren Island.  :D

Cool picture, thanks for posting.

Cheers. There was a degree of trepidation involved with adding the snow, as once committed, they all had to have it.

I picked up a Jedburgh team, from Offensive Miniatures, at Salute. Not sure how they'll fit it in, but should be fun to paint.
