Working my way through my spares box, have been able to complete some interesting, and some useful additions. First up are British infantry for World War One.
My Soviet WW2 Gunboat has acquired a naval figure to man a heavy machine gun. It was originally an Airfix British infantryman for a Vickers Machine Gun. The HMG is constructed from wood and plastic.
An understrength battalion of Spanish Cazadores (light infantry) have been reinforced with a heavy machine gun.
Finally, from my spares box, have mustered an American National Guard officer in a Alabama uniform.

A wonderful variety of figures Michael! They all look great and so very useful too! I do envy your machine guns, you are a master at creating them and working them into your different armies! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Brad. Its a great boost to clear some odds and spares into something that adds to the collection, and gaming potential.

The recoil of that HMG looks certain to do the sitting gunner a very nasty injury!
ReplyDeleteWell Arthur, its either that or the German sniper. The Britains HMG position IS strange, others have commented on that, too. But the casting dates back to the 1930s.

More great work - I do like that chap with the white bearskin !
ReplyDeleteCheers Tony. White bearskins were strangely popular with the American National Guard, and these weren't even the bandsmen!

Some excellet additions!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ross, presently working on an unusual Highland regiment, something very different. And it clears the last batch of Highlanders in my spares box.

Fantastic figures MGB - love the pilots!
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT, not too sure of the gaming potentials of having a contingent of airforce figures in 54mm, but I was pleased when Paul sent them on. My father was in the Fleet Air Arm, and my grandfather was in the Royal Naval Air Service, and briefly the Royal Air Force in WW1. So the miniatures really do add something to my collection.
