Hey All!
Finally finished re-basing my Grenadiers with the new style and finished the heavy weapon teams. Really happy with the new basing, it was a real issue with the old ones, I was happy with the figures but the basing really picked my ass. I just couldn't leave them alone!
Above is a 8cm
Granatwerfer 34 team with a converted loader and a few scratchbuilt rounds and cases. As there really isn't a good 41-42 mortar loader figure in a standard uniform as of yet from BF, I decided to make my own. I used a HG figure with short boots/gaiters and a long tunic. I cut the jacket down to resemble a '41 style tunic and added pockets.
The fence is based on photos of WWII-era Russian fences in and around Stalingrad. I made a single mortar round out of epoxy and cast extras with heated plastic sprue. I completed two mortar and four sMG teams as well as a three Panzerbüchse teams.
I added a few extra goodies to the teams such as spent shells, ammo boxes and the like.
Cheers!
Troy

they look very good. Nice stuff.
Really beautiful work on such small figures. Well Done!
Excellent as always Troy! You are so good at capturing the colors and general feel of the terrain and era. Are those modular roads in your last photo?

Looking great!
Thanks guys! Tanner, yes the roads are 12" sections of straight road based on 1/4" hardboard. I still need some curved ones!
