Rangers lead the way! Pt 2.


Last week I finally finished the Rangers, hooray! In fairness they were not that much of a struggle to paint and I'm very happy with the final result. I used Blacktree Designs US GI packs and painted them in Vallejo model colours. The final touches were made using Company B 5th Ranger decals and Gamer's Grass tufts.

All that's left for my Nationals army is the 4.2'' heavy mortar, which I scratch built today. I'll be painting it tonight and hopefully showing it off tomorrow. Fortunately, I've painted up plenty of crew for other guns so I don't need to make any new ones. Phew!
The complete squad comprises: 1x BAR, 2x SMG and a Sgt. with SMG


I really like the beard/stubble effect on these Rangers. I'll spend some time this week going over some men from other squads to include some facial hair!

    1. Hiya, thank you, you're very kind to say so. I'm pleased with the stubble too. I'll spend a couple of hours tomorrow morning adding some into the other squads I think now I've got the hang of it.
