I've got a really rather pretty battle report coming up (and some bits for Zzzzzz), but real-life keeps getting in the way. In the meantime, here are some group pics of my first love in Bolt Action: some of the lorried infantry of my 4KSLI collection, with some of their inevitable support elements (of whom more later...!):

...but we'll see what comes up, eh?
TTFN, and happy hobbying,
- Drax.
Fortunately I'm resisting temptation to jump in for plastic Paras, wooden Horsa and the Pegasus Bridge set to knock up a diorama.
ReplyDeletethe house isn't big enough!

Wunderbar !
ReplyDeleteDanke!
DeleteWhat can I say? - I like lining up toy soldiers!
That's a mighty fine looking force you have there!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you!
DeleteA fine looking bunch! Surprised you don't have a Medium Mortar or even a Heavy Mortar team in your collection?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading what you've been up to!
Ahh...but this is just the painted stuff that I had with me in my dad's house (where I had both space and 'light' to photograph them.
DeleteIn actual fact - in addition to this (some of which is unpainted; some is actually finished!) I also have the following:
another Cromwell,
three Shermans,
a Stuart Recce,
another 3 tonner,
a 15cwt 'tilly',
a 25pdr,
an RAF observer,
a medic,
another rifle section,
a flamethrower team,
a senior officer,
a second PIAT,
a handful of engineers,
a 4.2" heavy mortar and
TWO 3" medium mortars!
One of the medium mortars is long-term almost finished, and the 4.2" mortar is a lovely model...but it has no crew. I can sub in some of the engineers and spare 25pdr crew, but I still find it an annoying frustration.
Brilliant work Drax; they look lovely. A nice group shot. Can't wait to see them kicking some Jerries across France.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHopefully, in the next post you'll see them kicking some Jerries across Hamburg...
