Just a quick post finishing off some stuff on my table! This is the kneeling MG team from Zvezda in their greatcoats. So for Normandy I guess these two guys were setting up early in the morning and have kept their jackets on. It’s another nice little combo from Zvezda – easy to put together a few arms and legs. Although I tend to cut off the limb plugs they have and just glue the arms on instead. Seems to be easier. They did come with a third crew man with binoculars but he ended up on one of my mortar teams (see previous post). These guys are painted with field grey jackets and grey pants and helmets. Based on my new plywood bases with some clay, sand and weathering powders. I also added a shovel just because. They can use that for digging in or toilet breaks, which will be necessary if they are waiting in ambush for hours. I used some tufts and had another go with static grass. Always tricky to make it stand up when you do not have a battery powered thingo. One day I will get around to making one or buying one for terrain stuff. I did use a charged balloon once which kind of worked.




Nicely done, Will! 🙂 I see that Jagdpanther’s still lurking in the background patiently waiting its turn in the painting queue!
