BEF 1940

[Gazza]

I am slowly building and painting some British and German forces for gaming the Fall of France. Here are some Brits I have recently completed. I aim to have enough models to represent an infantry battalion/company (depending whether a base represents a section or a platoon) with various support elements, hence the random assortment of armour on display! I've got another three bases worth of infantry plus some 25 mm. Hotchkiss A/T guns and Vickers MGs to paint next. I plan to add a Matilda II, three Bren Carriers and some Morris CS9s (although I'll probably have to go to Pithead for the latter two) before moving on to ze Germans. I'll use BKCIII when it's released, but in the meanwhile am using a homebrew set.

It's about time I posted my progress on this enterprise. Before I continue, though, I must warn the reader that some of miniatures in the following images are NOT of the Pendraken stable. If you are liable to find such material offensive I advise you to navigate away now! The reason for such polygyny is simple: Pendraken don't make Bren/Scout Carriers, which were used by the BEF in France 1940 and differ from the later Universal Carrier. There is, however, no excuse for the Dingo...

On another note, to try and "light a fire" under this project I have started a blog, which you can reach HERE.

Superb!
Always an excuse for a Dingo!
