A few of Gerard's infantry...

The last few pictures I have from model maker-extraordinaire Gerard Davey 


Late war figures by Valiant 




AAMG



A couple of different Vickers MG platoons


3" mortar, some units got 4.2" mortars added later in the war


I think if the Valiant sets had been genuinely 1/72 scale from the outset they would have been onto a winner


Revell paratroopers

    Al

    I think the Sdkfz 251's on my latest blog were Gerard specials from some years ago too..

    Totally agree Al with your comments about Valiant, they would have been a real boon to us 20mm gamers if they had matched in with the typical 1/72 stuff.

    Must admit, I'm a fan of Valiant and agree it's a shame about the scale difference...

    Good to see Gerards still at it. He has been rather quiet lately.
