Well, that's the first batch of 12 figures finished. If you are wondering about the delay, I decided to take Sunday and Monday off. I will be adding tufts to the bases later on, once all the figures are painted.
HQ Squad
Lt, 2LT, Staff sergeant and 3 riflemen |
60mm Mortar Squad
The chap on the square base is the squad's Sergeant (a Junior Leader for Chain of Command).
The next batch of 12 are already on the table - the first of two rifle squads for the first platoon:
Since taking the photo above, I have got the flesh done and added the base coat for the uniform.
