RMC



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:)

  7. 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.
