Siciliy 1943 (WIP) UD 28/3 adding a Morris CS8 truck in German service

[Mason]

Looking forward to seeing the results, Steve.

Like I say, everyone's got their limit as to where they draw the line about these things.

You are certainly right about that, mate.
Maybe I tend to go for the 'easy' option.

Supoib!

EDIT 6th March 2019

I seem to have deleted or somehow mislaid quite a few of my posts before this point, as there are what are obviously replies without the preceding post to which they refer. As I cannot recreate posts that have vanished, the images to which the comments refer will be added back as part of this edit.

Finished greens of the kit:







And comparing the Perry rifle, the Warlord STEN and my STEN:



Lobotomised prior to fitting conversion parts:

BREN teams, parts fitted:

Adding the toggle rope:




Well, 2 years ago I did say that this wouldn't be proceeding at lightening speed!

The Perry's announcement that they'll be adding Fallschirmjäger to their WW2 ranges has motivated me to tinker a little more with the project.

I've got a couple of vehicles coming and from the Afrika Korp plastics box have assembled a sergeant and two infantry sections.  More work required but you get the idea ...


EDIT 6/3/19 - images missing - these replacements are nit the originals but give an idea of the WIP






The vehicles have various crew and I'll be using the remaining plastics to make dismounted alternates.

That's lovely revisiting an old project. Will look forward to the continuation of your project.

Cheers,

I couldn't get my head in gear to make the German airborne but now that the Perry's are adding them the logjam will be cleared (though if only they were in shirtsleeves rather than smocks ......)

I'll have a mix of Herman Goring and paras for Sicily, notwithstanding the Italians currently being painted at present.

The HG wore the para smock too, right? That'd be a good alternate use for the forthcoming minis.
