Here are some new pictures of my growing force of US troops for the Normandy skirmish campaign. They are 1/32 Conte Collectibles plastics, which are excellent mouldings, painted by me, and based on steel washers. The armour is Forces of Valour which I have repainted and added stowage etc to. The terrain is scratchbuilt by me. Hope you like 'em.

| The GI's jackets are the tan coloured bomber style jackets they wore in Normandy before the issue of the green combat jackets. I use Vallejo US Tan as the base colour and then highlighted with a mix of GW Bleached Bone. |

Incredible Tim, better than the German pictures (if that's possible!!). Awesome display, those GI's look 1000% times better than the factory painted Conte versions............ _________________ "The only way I have to keep them busy it to let them shoot holes in me"........... |

Seeing is believing: Those are fantastic! If the pictures were in black&white, I wouldn´t know if they are models...  _________________
