Bolt Action US Airborne 28mm

A few years ago, this boxed set was left with me as an unclaimed prize after a Milton Keynes Campaign competition. This year, I finally caught up with their owner, and we decided that I could keep the figures. So, as the last, great lockdown project, I decided to build and paint them, add a few command figures and support weapons...
Well, actually, rebulding the kitchen has actually become the last great lockdown project, but hey ho, here are some US Airborne...

1st Squad




2nd Squad






Pathfinders




.30cal team




Commanders, medic and RTO (I lost the RTO's hand, so had to graft on a spare)




Bazooka team




60mm mortar team




And always one that escapes...


So, now I've done them, what do I do with them?

A month later, and now the next batch is done.

4th Legion artillery




The whole batch
Si's list has four legions, 2 superiors, 2 average, some with artillery. All the legions are 'flexible' meaning they can switch between close and loose order.
A few more Romans done (few, meaning 113)
