Well, Caesar French with HaT Romanian head-swaps. I've had a go at these before - this unit had a little more thought and effort put into it
I had just enough spare figures and heads to assemble 13 platoons and a command section
Support company, LMG, antitank rifle, MMG, mortar, gun crew
HaT MMG
Emhar and SHQ metal
SHQ metals
Emhar crew, metal mortar
I added weapon slings, and Lewis machinegun pouches taken from spare Emhar figures to a few, as these were quite common on Dutch webbing. I've got three or four good accurate scenarios involving the Dutch at home, and two more for the Dutch East Indies, if I ever get around to making a unit to represent them.
Great job, very accurate!
ReplyDeleteVery tidy work Al!
ReplyDeleteThis idea is just too good not to be nicked. Cracking job. They look the bees knees.
ReplyDeleteThanks lads, be keen to see other's ideas for minor nations stuff
DeleteYou don't see much Dutch as good as these Al!
ReplyDeleteAirfix's Italians might be good for these fellows as well. Good show bootneck!
ReplyDeleteNice feedback boys, I thought I might use Italians for a Greek unit but aren't too sure what donor figures to use
DeleteAgain, very well painted Al! What will you use for Dutch armour? I think they had some very unusual small tankettes and such in the Dutch East Indies. As an aside I went to a war museum in some part of Indonesia many years ago and they had a row of statues representing the various races/tribes that had ruled over them over the years. All of them except the Dutch were depicted smiling! He had a rather nasty scowl as I remember!

Thanks Col, I've a single Carden-Lloyd. I remember seeing some Dutch stuff out there too, mostly guns, I think they might have been a Bofors variety
ReplyDeleteNeat I have a bunch of SHQ metal that deserves to be painted up
