Here's the Jedburgh blokes; probably need to add some snow to fit in with the rest of the figures.
The one in the US uniform has a badge shape molded onto his sleeve, so far not found a picture of what that might be, so have left it blank for the moment.

It's his left sleeve, which is where US units wear their unit shoulder patches.  So my guess (strictly a guess here...) is that it's his unit patch, from whom he was attached to the OSS?

Thanks, and yes paint , paint, paint... he hinted.

Sounds like a cunning plan, much appreciated.

Been quite a while since I added anything.
Here's the bailed out British Tank crew from Empress.

Well done.

Well done.
Thanks very much

Cracking job on the pixie suits!
Cheers Carlos, however kudos to Mr Hicks for putting in all the detail. I'm tempted to get another tank, just to have an excuse to get the torso figures to stick in the hatches..

Very nice.
Thanks Ragnar.

Cheers for the kind comment. I'm afraid I've not added to this lot for some time, so this thread had probably disappeared into the recesses.

These blokes are very nicely sculpted. Very much looking forward to the Paras that are on the way.

Nice work there. Well done!

Thanks Jim, much appreciated.

Picked up the 'mounted Brit armoured crew' from Empress, so got them a ride to go with.

That tank with the crew looks great! I especially like the burlap camo(?), looks great, and the markings pop nicely!
