On the workbench - A paint job to far 2 - British Infantry Platoon 1944

 A British Infantry platoon of 35 men and officers for my XXX corps Irish Guards force for the battlegroup weekend, The models are from the Plastic Soldier Company box set. Recognise the poses ?

 The HQ section Lieutenant and RT operator and NCO's all 36 models painted in a day. It took a couple of hours to put them together from there parts and prime them up. I am pleased with the results.
 A section of infantry follow the Sherman through ruined streets. I really like the Bren gun team in this set - although attaching the barrel to the |Bren is fiddly.
 The second section based on singles and double bases for casualty removal in the Battlegroup game

The final section advancing. I like the dynamic pose of the crouching infantryman in the centre.
All painted up in a weekend ... If I have time I will go back in and add a few details but these miniature's won't show me up in the three battles I have to fight for Market Garden in May at the Battlegroup weekend. I need to paint another Infantry platoon as well as some more tanks and other vehicles. I also have a canal to paint!  So on we go. This far in terms of painting we have only reached Eindhoven!
