Just a quickie from me.
I’ve assembled the second batch of six GIs- I calculate that I need at least 18 guys along the covered bit before I can nail it down and carry on with the next stage of the ship.
Much as I hated them I decided to use up the remaining Italeri torsos, and also the Italeri arms and hands where they are not really visible behind the bulwark. This time I’ve used some rather nice Hornet heads.
I have researched the make-up of the standard infantry company and of course most of them are riflemen, so they will predominate, but I want some variety so here we have just nos 1& 2 who are riflemen.
3 & 4 are a 30cal gunner and ammo carrier with packboards ( there should be two carriers, an assistant gunner and a corporal as squad leader,so I might do them later) ,and 5& 6 are medics (are they called Corpsmen in the Army-or is that just in the Marines?)with their own particular type of kit and a stretcher.
And here’s their kit already drawn from the QM
So the next stage will be filling in the gaps with MagicSculpt, so that will be the next instalment.
Thanks as always for the encouragement and comments
Cheers
