15mm WWII US Marines

[bigjackmac]

All,

Stand by for some gratuitous pics of WWII US Marines in 15mm! I've got troops from Battlefront and Eureka, and some vehicles from Gaming Models and Zvezda.  I've been painting my butt off the past year and a half, have completed a bunch of projects, and now I figure it's time to share some photos of them.


The whole mess, laid out on my beach mat from War Sigil:
1 Company Commander
1 FO Stand
1 Corpsmen Stand
4 x Platoon Commander Stands
3 x HMG (M-1917) stands
2 x LMG (M-1919) stands
2 x Mortar (60mm) stands
6 x Engineer stands (2 x Flamethrower, 2 x Bazooka, and 2 x Satchel/Pole charge)
1 x Pack howitzer (75mm) stand
1 x Anti-Tank Gun (37mm) stand
12 x Rifle Stands
2 x LCVP
1 x LVT
1 x Jeep


Grunts on the move.


Linin'em up and knockin'em down.


An M-1917 water-cooled .30-caliber machine gun from Eureka.


A 60mm mortar team from Eureka.


The 37mm M-1 anti-tank gun.  The crew is from Eureka while the gun is from Battlefront.  You can see a great mix of different uniforms in this photo.


Wouldn't be WWII Leathernecks without a flamethrower (from Battlefront) or two

Unfortunately I have not finished up their adversaries.  As disciplined as I've been painting and basing (I've got a LOT more to show you), I'm running out of steam.  I haven't had much time the past month because of Little League Baseball, but the spare time I have had has seen it very difficult to make myself sit down and paint.  Here's to hoping I get over it quick, I can't wait to get my Marines in the Pacific campaign going again!

That beach scene is stupendously good.  Almost made my "not after 1900" rule crack.  Thank God it was 15mm so my "no new scales" rule comes to my rescue.

Thanks guys!

I really need some of those "no new scales/no new projects" rules

V/R,
