I picked up a little bag of SHQ figures from the tabletop sale at Penkridge back in August. Four supply carts and 4 2 man crews. Two were standard supply carts, while the others were supplied with models of lieutenant colonel Benjamin Vandervoort - not sure what I'll do with the spare Vandervoort. The cart crews include a standard US infantryman, but I've painted him up as a paratrooper - he just hasn't bothered to camo up his helmet and add some skrim.
For D-day, these guys are painted in green ochre, with added US dark green reinforcing patches on knees and elbows. Webbing and equipment is German camo beige, while helmets and carts are brown violet. Weapons and wheels are black grey.
Vandervoort carts.
Basic supply carts.
Nice little bargain set to add some resupply capability to my US paratroopers.
Thanks for looking.
Nice purchase, If I can source some carts I would use a spare Vandervoort. Off to check STL files!
ReplyDeleteNo probs, you're welcome to the spare.

Thanks Mart, I was pleased and not difficult to paint.
DeleteCheers, Andy
They look great Andy especially John Wayne!
ReplyDeleteMore than a passing resemblance. Apparently, one of the Airfix US paratroopers is modelled on John Wayne as well.
