The gap where the wheels of the Puma should go looks a bit sparse. Maybe extend the mudguards/ stowage and add spare wheels in the gap like this?

That one does have a cut down rear FYI. A 4x4 Puma does look rather nice, I may stick that on the wishlist.

Thanks, but it is actually on accommodation wheels at the moment, I will take the four off and spray them and the other four separately. Once the hull is sprayed yellow I will probably glue all eight back in place.

I have back filled the strange hollow wheels with Milliput, from normal angles they should not look so strange.

British Armoured Infantry - part 1: Galahad.
So I bought three Konflikt '47 Galahad armoured infantry at Warfare.

Here is the first one.

He is armed with a Bren light machine gun with a drum magazine (a spare is carried on the left hip). I did wonder if it was a Vickers K gun, but it only has the LMG rate of fire.

I dropped it while undercoating it, hence the damaged taps on the rear tanks.

Supported by a Warlord plastic Cromwell.

Supported by a Rubicon M5A1.

And the contractual obligation William Killian photograph.

British Armoured Infantry - part 2: British Steel

I bought these many years ago.

I modified the arms as they are in a hight port style pose, with the gun pointing up into the air. So I took a razor saw to the arms, cutting the right arm at the wrist and the left arm beneath the shoulder. I then pinned the arms and used green stuff to fix them in place. I also added the ammo pouch on the left leg (Evergreen strip, green stuff cover).
Here is an unpainted shot.

And the William Killian scale shot.

With a Rubicon M5A1 for scale.

NIce work, I like the Galahad models, though I'd assumed they'd be chunkier than the Secrets minis - I'm glad to see they're well proportioned.
The gun certainly appears to be a Vickers K, I assume that the K47 rules don't currently reflect their considerably higher rate of fire (not being familiar with them).

It just states the suit is armed with an LMG, from Bolt Action I would assume a K would be LMG+1(saying that I cannot remember if the Buzzsaw gets the :+1).
