BEF 1940 Pt4 A Coy
Tonight marked the completion of the first Company of my BEF, and I have more well underway at various stages. First Battalion looks to be ready by the weekend.
Coy Command Stand, Airfix Officer and Matchbox charging infantry, I added a simple pack and gasbags here, but refrained from removing the peaked cap for the Rupert. I enjoy the Officer pose, but am saddened at the state of the barrel of the Webley.
Platoon Stand, again the Airfix Bren pose is the winner here.
Two Matchbox poses for the second Platoon Stand, with another gasbag added. I did not worry about putting gasbags on all of the figures, especially when it was only partial visible, I am quite lazy when I want to...
Last Platoon, both Matchbox again, It would have been quite nice if the team at Matchbox had supplied a bit more kit with their figures, They seem to lack entrenching tools and the waterbottles are a wee bit too small. But in saying that I still relive my childhood every time I see these poses.

ReplyDeleteYeah, a shame about the Webley. That was the same problem with a number of German officers I got secondhand at a Swap-n-Sell (although they were firing Lugers or Walthers, of course!).
ReplyDeleteI never know what to do in that instance.
PS What happened to Part III we jumped straight to IV?
