Para Support Platoons

Found a little time during the week to finish the support units for my first re-worked para battalion. Based for CD3, most figures have had at least a head-swap. Over the summer holidays I plan to finish two more battalions plus a few extras to complete the regiment

Recon SMG and battalion HQ stands

Ammo porter platoon

Support company command stand. For some reason the red I used for their berets turned out a bit brighter than the last lot, so I might try and dull them down a bit at a later date

3" mortar platoon, back

And, front.

PIAT platoon

The full support company: HQ, mortar, MMG, Engineer and PIAT stands. The entire battalion includes figures from Esci, Revell, Airfix, HaT and a couple of Hong Kong copies.

  7. Cheers lads.

    Uncle B, thanks mate, nah not doing Arnhem anytime soon. We tried it a while ago and vowed and declared that if we ever had another crack at it, we'd wait until we had all the right gear, especially in terms of scenery
