British Airborne Brigade

Still need minor touching up but pretty much finished. Sorry about the picture quality, I had to use my phone

3rd Battalion, including the usual mix of figure manufacturers 

A Coy

B Coy

C Coy

Support platoons: mortar, MMG, flamethrower engineers

The three battalions of parachute infantry

Support assets, still a MMG platoon and engineer platoon to add

PIAT and ammo porter platoons, still one PIAT to add

Various command sections

Recon sections

Gun crews.

Best to you all for this year and the next. All of your Blogs are a great source of inspiration to me when it comes to my hobby.

Cheers

New arrivals

A couple of this year's presents...

Nice little additions to my small Cold War collection

And this little number will give me a full company of these. Who says it is better to give than receive? :) :)

Hope you all had a good one

20mm Jungle Hut

Another very good resin building by Frontline 

Good for any jungle scenery, any era

Accurate sized footprint and very good value for money.

Shelters

Just your average bog-standard garden shed variety shelter really...

These are one piece resin models by Frontline; actually, from their small range of Sealion items in 20mm

Simple but really tidy little models, about AUD$10.

WW2 Indian Infantry Battalion

I've had this group a while but have had them out recently for a touch up

Based for CD3 1941-45

These were painted with Tamiya acrylics 

The battalion has two figures by Atlantic and several others as well.

The Italeri Well

Nice little piece this

Probably useful for multiple periods and theatres 

Just a little more painting around the rope work to do

Useful addition if you can get it cheap.

Dave's Project continued...

What do you reckon lads...

Very original and very well done!

Project Pictures

Owing to recent reinforcement from down south, a long term project has gained new life.

I started a 1943-45  British Airborne Brigade way back here... http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/parachute-infantry-platoons.html ...and here... http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/para-support-platoons.html ... in 2011.. and added these since http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/british-para-gun-crews.html ... http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/british-para-2nd-battalion.html .... http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/para-ammo-porters.html .. 

Anyway, the progress...

Mortar platoons

Command sections

Flamethrower engineer platoon

MMG stand

PIAT

Rifle platoons, a few minor alterations but nothing drastic. 

I still have to fill gaps and add some more weapon slings.
