Finished these the other night.
All have had extensive changes made to their basic poses, and are mostly a mixture of Matchbox British Infantry and British Commandos.
The weapons platoon includes the recently completed Bren gunner and loader, who is a reworked Airfix figure.
One of the line platoons.
The troop command platoon.
Another line platoon.
The full troop. A really big thanks to Paul Foster and Chris from Auckland for donating me the old Matchbox figures to work with. If I ever acquire enough figures I might just start a long term project of a full brigade, though getting to use a unit of that size on the table top might be stretching things a bit - still, you can never have too many Royal Marines Commandos:)
You're welcome mate and they're looking good. Nice touch shooting them on the old Woolley Pully.

He might get seconded into the unit for a short spell?
Brilliant work and nice idea with the background for the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks boys, I had fun making them.
ReplyDeleteexcellant work on the figures Al
ReplyDeletehow do you glue them and make them stayed glued?
Thanks David, most of them are pinned with bread-tie wire, super-glued, green-stuffed, then PVA to seal any gaps, give it a go.
