Fair Dinkum! More Wartime British

G'day all,

As you may have gathered by now I am something of a fan of the Wartime Miniatures ranges, particularly their WW2 British - and they are an Australian based operation, which is a bonus for Antipodeans like me :)
I have painted my way through all of the packs in their Mid/Late War British range and thought I would share some more photos of them.


 
Officer, NCO, & Radio Operator


 
 
Wee lads from a Highland Regiment


  

PIAT team, Mine Detector, & Flamethrower

I 've painted leather gloves on the F/T operator as I
figured his hands were in danger of getting scorched

One very minor gripe, but easily fixed with greenstuff, is that the
Mine Detector could do with a counterweight on the end.

The PIAT loader carries lots of extra munitions


Prone Bren team & Rifleman

 
The figure with the Bren Gunner is holding out a Bren ammo clip

Wartime have produced some great figures here, many of which I would consider to be on par with AB stuff. Do yourself a favour and check out the range :)

WW2 US from FAA

G'day all,

today I'm sharing some photos of a recent commission I painted. The figures are all from the FAA range of metal miniatures, they remind me of the Kelly's Heroes range in style - slightly "chunky" and quite a bit of character.

Here they are:












I've also just finished a commission of some "Rats of Tobruk" using Wartime Miniatures. I hope to post pictures of these once the customer has received them in the post :)

Wartime Artillery crews

G'day all,

some photos for you of Wartime Miniatures British artillery crew figures. I have painted the bases green as I don't have any spare artillery to go with them at the moment. If anyone has  a spare British 3inch mortar or 25pdr they could let me have it would be most appreciated - drop me a line below, I would be happy to swap some stuff for them :)







Stay Special :)

All the very best for 2014, may it surprise you with something profound and of lasting value.

John.
