How big a table are you aiming for here Bob?   Enough logistics here to keep a corps well supplied! 😉

Needed some captured Italian 75mm field guns.

Grubby tanks to the rescue.

James has very kindly taken these away to paint.

Ian came up trumps, by painting some more German paras.

Cheers Ian.

I needed British infantry aa gunners.
I asked Grubby at Grubby tanks if he made any ?
He said he only had Britannia British aa gunners for his landing crafts.
He very kindly sent me a couple to experiment with.
I tried to chop away at their May West life preservers.
I think I’ve got away with it ?

Lovely work from everyone! Really like how you've done the roof and windows on the truck James.
I have nothing important to say so just keep on scrolling.

It'll be interesting to see those British AA gunners painted up.  Methinks they'll turn out fine...
