Well done mate! Love how they units look on the bases, especially the shrubbery  :)

I managed in the heat of today to paint up the accompanying motor battalion for the British armoured division.

The whole battalion


Some support, but not much


Top down


Battalion support assets and HQ


Suppose they have four regiments of armour to help out if they get into trouble!


'A' Company


Three stands of infantry (they are there, honest) with an M3 half-track and a stand of carriers make each company.


'B' Company


4/7th of each stand are prone, just to annoy people


Back view


'C' Company


It's like they've found a hedgeline to defend

Two more battalions to go ,once Leon sends me their bases!

Transport for the infantry stands, they will receive labels when the company I buy paper fron comes back of holidays. (Clem asked for these to be separate, makes sens as they were a central resource, not attched by battalion)


Suspect at least one of the other battalions will be in trucks rather than M3s!
