As with all my stuff, based for CD3. This is my British Expeditionary Force collection and has been about a year in the making. I now have three complete infantry battalions and just need to add other units, such as recon and bridging engineers; just for the sake of it really. Comprised almost entirely of the most excellent Zvezda figures, which I have tried to arrange in as many poses as I could for the sake of variety
First Battalion
Second
Third
Some examples of the different poses I was able to achieve doing the monster-mash and seeing what I could come up with
Every other figure had a sling added where I could
Esci arms added to the figure on the right
Another Bren team
Airfix arms + green-stuff
Battalion commander sections, middle one is Airfix
Company command sections, Aifix, Zvezda, Esci
Brigade command section
MMG platoons
Mortar platoons
Engineers
The Brigade.
Great work Al! I really like that you added the slings to the figures and the varied poses really works well. Hard to believe that they are only 1/72nd!

ReplyDelete:) thanks Ian
ReplyDeleteVery, very impressed Al
ReplyDeleteThese look really nice, Al. The Zvezda are great figures and the painiting is great. Congratulations on their completion!
ReplyDeleteThanks boys, this unit is my absolute fav :)
ReplyDeleteThere are really nice.
ReplyDeleteOne teeny weeny comment - what you have there, if it's appearing in battle, is a Brigade rather than a Regiment. It would typically be made up of battalions from three different, named Regiments,
For example the 9th Infantry Brigade had 2nd Bn Lincolnshire Regt, 1st KOSB, and 2nd Royal Ulster Rifles.
Really love these figures and what you've done with them – what did you make the slings out of?
ReplyDeletejust a thin plastic chord, like they attach to clothing labels
DeleteI really do love the look of these – they're 'just right' as Goldilocks would say :) What size bases do you use – I'd like to use the same.
