A couple of scenarios in Memoir '44 involve british Airborne forces and I just couldn't bring myself to use US infantry to represent Howard's and Frost's, so I decided to make up some airborne troops. I used some spare Revell paratroopers, mounted on similar size bases to those used for the game miniatures.
I enjoyed painting these and will equally enjoy deploying them on the game board:
"Hold until relieved, hold until relieved".
Very nice, the Revell Paras are lovely figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin. I agree, I think that most of the Revell figures are good, apart from the German paras, which seem a bit flat to me!
DeleteGreat paint job - the Pegasus Bridge action is my favourite part of The Longest Day
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT. I too enjoy that part of the film. Given the age of the film, I think the glider landings were done very well.
