Back to some miniatures, for my BEF Support. Today I bring you the Engineer Mine Clearing Team
So initially I searched for some figures, ready made, but alas, most hits I had were of those people had scratchbuilt. So it was time to dig around my various boxes. I had a couple sprues of British plastic troops purchased in one of the Warlord Game sales.
The fella holding the mine dectector is an actual metal figure from the British Engineer blister pack, which also had a couple other figures. For the kneeling figure holding the bayonet, he is made from the plastic soldier sprue. The bayonet is actually from my 1:35 model bitz box. I snipped the blade a bit, to make it not appear TOO oversized.
The last standing figure holding the shovel was also built from the plastic figure sprue. The shovel came from a British Weapons sprue (also purchased on that Warlord Games sale).
Up next will be the wire cutting team.
Building sapper is a fun challenge with plastics - and a PITA if you are mucking about with metals ;0 Great work on these, Terry!
ReplyDeleteThanks Will, I admit, I am not a fan of having to glue metal figure heads on for sure!
DeleteVery nicely done 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt for checking out my blog!
DeleteVery nicely done! For being scratch built, these look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai, the 2 who were scratchbuilt were pretty much from Warlord Games sprues, just the bayonet was added from other model bits....but there will be more of these coming in the other 2 teams!
DeleteGreat stuff Terry! Lots of narrative in these models, especially like the chap using the bayonet 🙂
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivor! Great to hear from you again. The Wire Clearing figures are just drying, should be posted later this eve!
DeleteGreat additions and very necessary, now you have a minefield !
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, but thats the thing with mines....they don't care who they belonged too, once in the ground & activated, they are everyones threat.
