20mm WW2 British Machine Gun Platoon

A 20mm British MG platoon for keeping the Germans off the beaches or the high street during the invasion, the 3 figure command section are from SHQ but the machine guns are from Blitz Miniatures, the table is nearly done for a game as well.....

Pictures are the usual dubious quality.....

    I'm getting really getting exited about this project!
    The figures look very nice, but I wonder why you're not using static grass for the bases? Would blend much better with the table... ;)

    Cheers, Mojo

    Well, they look nice. About the pictures' quality: have you tried enhancing them a bit with a software?

    I'm kind of glad they never were needed in the high streets, or at least I don't think they were.

    Once again, lovely work. Those HMGs look soooo much better than the old Esci plastics I'm using!

    Just the thing to stop the Boche from putting his towels on the loungers first thing in the morning and no mistake.

    As always excellent work!

    I clicked on the pictures and can see the detail much better. These diorama's look good when put on the table with individual figures. Keep painting, big guy, keep painting.

    @Mojo: A decision that haunts me....
    @sebastosfig: I do try and then give up....
    @Tonkow: You're probably right but it's like a one size/style fits all.....

    They sure look ready for anyone to attack. The middle one with the handgun looks so "don't mess with me or I'll blow your dick off"..haha nice!

    Very nice. I see you've been lurking around the paint table again, and your hanging-about is producing finely fitted soldiers.

    Nice Angry. Really well done as always. I really like the command section.

    Cant wait to see the table, and how you are gonna make Sealion come to life.
