ParticipantI have always been interested in the North African front of world war 2. Warlord Games’ plastic british and commonwealth kits are good value for money besides being nice miniatures. So I decided to start a small project – a small force for Bolt Action. The game does not require a large number of troops (unlike pike and shotte and Hail Caesar), and have some friends who play the game – one has Germans, one has Italians, and another has Americans. So Brits for me, though I’m still keeping an eye on Warlord’s promise of a release of plastic Italians soon.
I assembled and painted my first squad – Australians. I took extra time for painting them, especially the flesh and basing, which I had to change the colour because I didn’t like the way they were turning up. Veterans would have had darker skin, so the skin is a bit lighter than it should have been. Also, most probably they would have worn helmets in battle, but hats make them more recognisable during a game.

ParticipantFantastic work – when I get around to my Aussies I hope they’re somewhere near half as good!
One detail you may want to take another look at – the Lee Enfields appear to be painted metal on top, they should have full length wooden hand guards.
