A Project too Far? - British Paras for Bolt Action
A Converted Foward Observer...
Dug in, comfortable, and ready to spot some targets!
I’ve taken a break from basecoating Denison smocks to work on a Forward Observer for the force. The Brits get to take a free one in every list, so whatever list I run I’m sure to use one! Therefore I thought I’d spend some time making him unique.
The original model was the loader of the MMG team, the one feeding the belt. Chopping off his head (war’s a messy ol’ buisness!) and cutting away the belt and hands, I’ve added a head from the Perry’s Zulu British infantry and hands from the plastic Para sprue from Warlord. Green stuff was then used to blend it all together.
I imagine this chap looking back to shout coordinates to his radioman, having just sighted some German armour or advancing infantry.
