The last of my 28mm figures for the Chain of Command project are now complete. This includes a Artizan miniatures 57mm AT gun and a pack of US Paratroopers. The gun crew is well executed as includes a 57mm AT gun cast in resin from Northstar miniatures. This is my first experience with Resin support weapons, and it was OK. The model had minimal bubbles, and the lightweight material ensured a solid assembly.
The Paratroopers fit in well with my BTD figures, although they are slightly less detailed, with less depth and undercutting in the existing details.
These four troopers finish off my second squad, which completes the platoon for Chain of Command
I am still lacking sufficient LMGs for the actual TOE of the unit, so I will need to add at least one more in the future. For now, I will make due with a pair of BARs. I would also like to add a tripod mounted MG to shore up the firepower of the unit. All that said. I think I at least have a viable force to field.

Excellent support team! You are ready to go toe-to-toe against the Germans, now.
ReplyDeleteThat's the goal. Now to find some free time. How does late March sound?
DeleteLate March sounds great!
DeleteVery nice unit - the group photo is really impressive! :D Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking 101st troops! The 57mm is a great addition.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Looking over the CoC lists, I discovered that the 37mm wasn't an option for any US force
DeleteNothing like getting a project to the "Table Ready" stage!
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to clear the slate...for the next thing.
