Ox and bucks, D-Day 'Wargames Standard' Bolt Action Miniatures
« on: February 15, 2014, 09:59:57 AM »
Hi,

I've just finished varnishing and basing the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Regiment for a client who asked for them to be wearing early war webbing. There are another thirteen mini's to do on top of 13 that he has possession of now (forgot to take the pics at the time!).

There are a load of images on my Just Add Water Blog so please feel free to check them out:

Here's a little taster for now:







Cheers,
Darrell.

They're beautiful, but I'm pretty sure they were wearing the camo denison and red beret (with the Ox and Bucks badge), having been converted to airborne infantry.

Forget it, I've just looked at your blog and seen that for some reason the client wanted them with green beret (and presumably not the denison jump smock they're modelled with).

He who pays the piper and all that, eh? Our is not to question why the client wants what the client wants.
