UK Commando and Italian Troops

 Finished some UK Commando and Italian troops.  I already have a bunch of British special forces, SAS/SBS types, and German Para and Brandenburger type troops.  These will all be used for battles on Rhodes and Leros and other islands in the Aegean Sea.   Not a lot written about the British Offensive and German counter-offensive but one good book is "Churchill's Folly" by Anthony Rogers.

A Few Items Completed . . .

First up is a sample of Artizan 28's of US WWII Infantry in greatcoats.  Two squads worth of infantry plus MG and Bazooka support are ready to go.

Next are a couple of units I finished for my growing 15mm Medieval Lithuanians.  Medium cavalry and the Commander-in-Chief stand.  Minis are Essex.

More Artizan WWII Soviets

Crewed Weapons . . .

And some riflemen . . .

British SAS and LRDP

My latest efforts are British SAS and LRDP figures.  These are from Artizan's 28mm line.  Basing was accomplished with pumice, then completely covered in fine-screened aquarium rocks.  When that dried, I applied a watery umber coating, followed by watered down PVA.  When all that dried, I drybrushed with Vallejo Middlestone, then Dark Sand, then White.
