The first Company of my 2nd Parachute Battalion. This Platoon stand is made up of a ESCI Sten gunner and Revell Rifleman with the No4 Rifle. I have tried to include in all my Rifle Platoon stands a actual Rifle, contrary to popular belief not all Paratroopers were equipped with SMG's.
The next Rifle Platoon, are both ESCI, I decide to add one Bren pose per Company Stand, and I rather like this ESCI one.
Command Stand with Revell Rifleman and ESCI Sten gunner. the detail on the ESCI figures are particularly more detailed than the Revell figs. Most if not all of the Revell figures seem to be missing their waterbottles as well.
Complete Company frontage.
Rear shot. The colour is not true in this photo. The sun decided to make a surprise appearance at dusk. Nice one sun!
Nice work, I like the company to a stand as it's easy on the pocket.
