Mexican Revolution train

I`ve been planning this for a while as trains played such a huge part in the various revolutionary campaigns in Mexico. The train will just be static - just a piece of terrain in effect, but will make an interesting ojective whilst adding considerable fire-power to one side or other :-)

British Carrier Platoon

The final unit I needed for my Tunisian Brits - a Carrier Platoon
Three different Britannia carriers all of which come ready stowed one-piece resin castings. I did some minor modifications - added aerials, more stowage, changed the Boys AT rifle to a Bren.
The figures are a mix of Britannia with odd Kellys Heroes, Airfix and Friend or Foe

Girly medic

Now I don`t do 28mm, frankly my painting can`t do the sculpts justice. Still I`ve been long tmpted to have a go at one of those "pin-up" girlies you see advertised in the modelling and wargames press and when i saw this one ob TMP, I couldn`t resist.

Armoured Coy. Kradshutzen-10

I`ve reorganised Kradshutzen-10
The Armoured infantry unit now has two platoons and to keep them seperate (visually) on tabletop I`ve used only zeltbahn wearing grenadiers.
2 x 12 figure platoons (1 LMG) carried in 4 sdkfz 250 (2 fitted with sustained fire MGs)
You`ve seen the halftracks already, the figures are mostly Britannia plus a few Kellys Heroes and one Raventhopre MG42 man; the usual minor conversions and head-swops 








The whole unit including the tracks
