Bob's Going 'Nuts'

Well its been a bit since I updated this, mainly as the project is morphed into a bunch of subprojects, resulting from the various odd Wargams Illustrated freebee figures.

The original part was to paint up above and add to make full single squads for Normandy campaign WW2 starting with British ,German and U.S infantry based on the freebies, to this I added a squad of U.S & British Paras, I had one sprew of Fallscrimjager and left it at the single sprue of them .

The 2nd add on project stemme from the fact I had one Sprue of Germans with Greatcoats, and from that a Bulge force developed and I made above into full squad and added British , and American Winter squads , plus a Churchill and then a box of Winter Russians, which is not yet  started.

The 3rd project and nearly finished, is as I was building the 2nd sprue of American Infantry I decided to personalise some into some of the lesser characters from Kellys Heroes , which developed into I wanted to the final battle of movie…. so lots more Cannon Fodder Germans (mainly the Afrika Korps figures I had from Bolt Action Bootcamp and never finished) another Tiger to make up the 3 (2 painted long ago. IIn addition I had  long forgotten Aintsy Kelly’s Heroes figures which I added the Warlord ones at Salute. I was working on Oddballs Sherman and brought two more standard Shermans ( I  will explain reasoning  later).

The 4th project is an add on to the Bulge project, and was just really an excuse to get the Rubicon models, a what if late 1945 the Russian dont stop, and a mixe force of Brits/Americans and Reequipped Germans try to hold them back with 2x Centurions and another Comet. Using bits from all of the above.
