Eureka Order Part 5 - World War II British Paras

Pegasus Bridge has always held a fascination for me, so when purchasing a sample of Allied troops to take on the Germans, it had to be British Paras.
Once again single base per code.
Paras Advancing and HQ

Para Mortars, PIATs and LMGs

And in keeping with the D-Day theme, I picked up some engineers with mine sweepers and also a flame thrower.

I think the flame thrower model should end up quite good!

  1. A wee tip I picked um from the web. Give the raw metal a black wash - should add contrast and add detail to the photos...

    Extra work though for all of us time challenged types. :)

  2. I might have to try that.
    I have all of the photos taken now, but maybe I'll go back later on and redo some of the dodgier snapshots.
    In contrast, some of the photos at full rez provide a view of details that I hadn't noticed.
