Looking very good so far. Paras are hard to resist.

Looking good. I'm seriously torn between basing options for these figures, urban rubble, Dutch cobbles or grass to match all my others. 1st world problems lol

Basing on these is a bit of a conundrum; so far I'm going grass & bushes with the Mortars, trolleys, a couple of PIAT teams, an infantry section and probably the snipers.
Then a couple of infantry sections, plus HQ and PIAT team on rubble. The 6 pounder, a bit of both for that messed up garden look.

Made some more tufts



Found a Facebook page called 'British Airborne & SAS Jeeps', in their photos section there is an album called 'WWII Wartime blueprints Airborne Jeep Mods'.





So, my Mk2 attempt has:

Mod 8  three internal jerry cans.



Mod 4 Pick & shovel on the front bumper



Mod 14 Tandem tow attachment on the rear

Added one of the Empress jeep crew figures to a mortar team (Warlord figures).





...and these two.



Haven't tried adding 'chaplain' to the armband yet.

Fine as the painting is, it's the basing that really puts the cherry on top.  :-*

You have helped convince me to rebase my WW2 Soviets.

Thanks. I'm thinking I may have gone a tad too grey with the 'rubble', had a go at warming them up a bit with a brick dust look...

Yep, as it was known back then a Patchett. It should have a straight Sten mag for WW2 but hey it's a nice model.
