20mm Painted WW2 British Infantry Platoon.

British infantry platoon painted up for the What If? Operation Sealion gaming, figures are mostly SHQ (which were awful sculpts, so much flash and distortion........ ) and some Blitz Miniatures (good stuff)...

....picture quality is the usual poor quality but I think it's for the best as these are not Ray's best work!

Dudley Constable, 20mm Operation Sealion Scenery so far....

Have started sorting out my What If? Operation Sealion table for a game, it's a wargaming set up rather than a dedicated display like some of the beauties you see at shows. Only civilians and some home guard have been placed on the table, the area is in a bit of crisis after what they believe are random bombings of the area.

The year is 1941.......Hitler hasn't invaded Russia, the French fleet ended up in German hands, only 3,000 troops got away at Dunkirk, Germany has not Allied with the Japanese, the United States have not entered the war, the Luftwaffe concentrated on;y on the RAF and airfields etc......

Dudley Constable is situated on the south coast of England, a picturesque, quiet corner of England but for how long......

No real close up shots as most of the figures have been seen before but if you want close ups Mr. De Mille can be contacted and they can be arranged....

Harbour area....

Cottage hospital staff help the wounded....

Bomb craters dot the area......

The village green and cricket club area...

A pill box needs to be manned....

The docks under guard...

A VIP comes ashore with escort after his craft is damaged?

20mm WW2 British Machine Gun Platoon

A 20mm British MG platoon for keeping the Germans off the beaches or the high street during the invasion, the 3 figure command section are from SHQ but the machine guns are from Blitz Miniatures, the table is nearly done for a game as well.....

Pictures are the usual dubious quality.....

20mm WW2 Painted British 6pdr Platoon.

The last bits of the Operation Sealion Project are just about done and the British are done, the figures are a mixture of SHQ (not brilliant and horrible flash), Blitz Miniatures (very nice figures) and the guns are from Britannia Miniatures.

The platoon has a couple of trucks for transport (which I forgot to include) and is based for the rules European Battlefield.......now Ray painted these but I based them (is that okay Ray?).

More of these will be coming up over the next few days or so (I hope) including MMG platoon, Mortar platoon, infantry platoon. tanks, trucks and military police.......

The pictures I took are horrible and these were the best.......

WW2 20mm Painted Greatcoat German Squad.

I have added a 4th squad to my early war German platoon and I feel these guys are wearing more appropriate clothing for the south coast of England (definitely for the Soviet Union), models are from CP models and are lovely except some of them come in pieces and with my hand shovels this caused some light swearing for a little while!

20mm WW2 Painted AB Figures British Officers.....

......with driver and car!

The British are now painted and in the process of basing, done by Ray and myself and are from AB figures, I would have done everything from this company but they only do late war mostly and are considered expensive!

Driver is from SGTS Mess and the car is from Frontline Wargaming.

20mm Painted Frontline WW2 Civilian Trucks.

These are from Frontline Wargaming (a lot of work to just get to this stage but as the budgie said they were cheep!) and will be used for scenery from the south coast of England to the wilds of the Soviet Union.

20mm Painted WW2 FAA German Mortar Platoon.

Finally starting to finish the last elements of German forces for the Operation Sealion project with this early war mortar platoon according to the European battlefield rules I'm using, I was lucky to find some early war FAA Germans on ebay and while they're not in the firing pose I still like how this unit looks as it moves to set up their tubes (they will get an opel blitz for the long journeys).

I consider the FAA and CP Models some of the best early war german figures in this scale.........but either hard to find or don't do the things you need!

Conflix 20mm Pre-Painted WW2 Buildings.

...picked up some of these quite cheaply a little while ago for some WW2 scenery, they could be used for many periods obviously but they're listed as Stalingrad and Kursk ruins I believe but can be used in many other locations like southern England maybe?

Have placed a 20mm figure and tank to show scale and size if you were interested and the paintjobs are quite acceptable.
