M Blakeys 28mm Arnhem Project

[M Blakey]

Thought I'd start my own thread regarding my Arnhem project.

It's in the very early stages but thought by starting this thread then hopefully it will keep me focused.

So I bought into the first Arnhem Heroes KS and bought 2 sets of the full Montys plus a few extras bits. My plans are to base one set as though they are defending the LZs/in the country. The second will be based as though they were defending the ruins around Arnhem Bridge or in the ruined building of Oosterbeek.

There's alot of work to do here.

The clean-up comlete and some minor conversions

I wanted the wounded Para to be offering his colleagues information as to where he sustained the injuries. So I thought a simple had conversion and popping him into the back of a jeep i felt really gave this figure its desired result for me.

A couple of other minor conversions.

The beautiful buildings are by Sabotag3d. The staring of a street in Arnhem.

Basing of all the miniatures was done today. Pics to follow

I wanted to do a 6pdr being towed from the LZ so thats exactly what I did

Nicely done, those are coming along well. The houses are rather gorgeous too.

If you fancy some variety I can vouch for this chap's prints and he does a range of Dutch stuff.

Great shout. I'll look into these!

Another little conversion. One will be carrying the iconic umbrella. The other is armed protecting his comrade. I think I'll invest in another one in the future to  do a surrendering duo.

 I find it interesting that you use washers as bases. It certainly gives the minis some heft.

[carlos marighela]

It also means you can keep 'em in place by sticking magnetic strips in your storage boxes. I'd hate to think how many washers I've bought over the years. Oh and if you want group bases, you can get large and quite thin fender washers that will happily base most support weapons.

Superb start, some great conversions.
The chaplain pair with the pistol works particularly well.

It sure does and just like Carlos has mentioned, the washers are great for magnetised storage. So many times in the past without having the magnetic bases when moving boxes, figures have fallen all over the place.

Superb start, some great conversions.

Cheers Ash  🍻

More like it's been through them!   

Seriously, great work so far!
