Having a Filipino wife has made me far more aware of the battles that took place across the Pacific. Especially those involved in freeing the Philippines! I'd like to try this with the 11th Airborne troops... the Pacific's Band of Brothers!
for the Hungarians I think the full length carcano rifles on the Italian sprue will also work really well! they have a very similar profile to the Hungarian 35m so at 28mm I think they'd look spot on
All fantastic!! I really regret not to have submitted mine 🥺 anyway, can we have the link for the drive? I really really want to know how the Italian with snowsuit was done
Congrats to the winners, and everyone’s submission! This is my first entry to any bolt action competition and it was excitingly fun! Very thankful for the love towards my Filipino guerrillas 🇵🇭, and to everyone involved, impatiently waiting for next years competition 😎
Your men would receive a court marshall for that, you're counted as a casualty if you're incapable of fighting due to heat stroke or fatigue, same as if you didn't wash yourself and you got sick
Wow! Amazing work! This is exact what I was looking for months ago when I, being a new player with Bolt Action, ask the FB community about US Army in the PTO. Most everyone who answered were really positive, but there was one individual who tried to tell me that NOBODY in the Army has ever been allowed to roll their sleeves and/ or unblouse their pants! No joke! He even started on the UCMJ when I, along with several others, attempted to correct him- with video and photos from WW2! He even stepped having 6 combat tours and after that I just blew him off. I'm a Desert Storm veteran. My Wife is from the Philippines. I can tell you personally that the hot weather in the Pacific is MUCH more intense that in Southwest Asia! So, that being said, check out the 11th Airborne and the Battle for Leyte Island... just MORE conversion ideas... sorry not sorry, Tad
Bolt action sprues were abit of a shock to the system after years of paint/make by numbers 40k and fantasy kits. It was straight back to the days of Lotr sbg for me personally. But only.. the designers of the kits clearly intended you to kitbash and convert them to within an inch of their life going by the included examples of small food for thought reposes included in picture within the boxes. I've come to the conclusion that they are actually abit of a converters dream. And that if your going to get into bolt action you should infact buy a few boxes with parts that may be useful to you or some of the single sprues perhaps although that ends up being abit cost prohibitive actually in the long run.. better to have a large pile of extra bits by getting a selection of the very generously packed boxes. I've did all sorts of small characterful stuff from making army chaplins to trying to making a go at depicting the desperate stealing and pilfering of russian equipment and gear during the winter. US Gis with lugers mp40s and stalhelm trophies on their pack, Recreations of famous bits of ww2 footage.. the inspiration pool is endless almost. And what cant be achieved with modelling is often easily achieved with a different colour.. reenactors may be able to spot tiny differences in the various wool tunics used by different factions at different times but it often dosent matter that much i find as long as the overall intended effect is achieved. Especially from a foot or two away...
