Brasso27 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Just finished the four British Figures for the latest WIP. On now to the German figures. The figures from left to right are: Adalbertus Resin Monte Casino set, Dragon British Infantry in Normandy set, Adalbertus Resin Monte Casino set again and finally a figure from the venerable Tamiya Universal Carrier kit. Have to add the rifle slings yet. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasso27 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 I should just mention that I've added grass stains to the three infantrymen, because as everyone knows they do all the work. The figure on the right is a driver, and as anyone who has served in the military will tell you; those guys never get themselves dirty! (I'm joking!! I'm joking!!).

Jasper dog Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Figures are outstanding, great work. I find figures really tricky but they add so much to a vehicle, unfortunately my efforts look as if done by a particularly hamfisted toddler! Looking forward to seeing the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Those are nice figures. Mine always turn out rubbish, so I avoid figures. Well done. Will this be a figure-only dio, or will there be vehicles? However, I don't believe that the Thompson SMG was issued to British forces in NWE post D Day, although Commando units still had them. The Sten was the issue SMG by then, Mks II, III and V. MkII was most common, but MkV had the wooden stock and pistol grip and so might be easier if you wanted to modify the figure. Thompsons clung on in Italy (he's a Monte Cassino figure) in units deployed there from N Africa, where the Thompson was the only issue SMG. That figure also carries the M1 version, which was never used by British forces anyway. We had the older M1928 with the top cocking handle and finned barrel, but that is hard to spot from any distance at that scale. Perils of close-up photography!

KonaDawg Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Well finished but those tin hats just look wrong. Poorly moulded by dragon I mean. I've seen a few good images of British troops in Normandy and most of those also show the helmets with nets and cammo strips. Tricky to replicate though 😊. Will tag along if that's ok. Got a personal interest in the early Normandy campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubar Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Great work! The figures do look amazing, but sad about the helmet thingy and Dragons molds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
