A door gunner for my Huey

Over a year ago I printed a Huey with my 3d resin printer. You can read more about this here. Alas I didn’t have any door gunners. Now I got a few door gunners from Empress miniatures, sculpted by Paul Hicks.

1st gunner callsign “Banzai”
2nd gunner “ACE”

And both in the 1/50 printed Huey. I think they work really nice in an 1/50 ship but also in a 1/48 one. Have a look here

First ANZAC digger rifle section finished

Yesterday evening I finished the last missing digger for my first rifle section. Above and below you see pictures of the completed section.

I now have 3 rifle groups a MG group and a medic finished. Below is the last missing soldier. It is the same sculpt I painted the day before , so there are two identical figures in the last group. I probably switch that around .

And the finished 3rd rifle group:

Moving through the bush

The 3rd ANZAC jungle fighter is finished. Only one more to finish my first rifle section.

The last one will follow tomorrow

A M16 armed Digger

Here is the next Digger. this time armed with a M16. A very nice figure, having that late 60th early 70 feeling with the appropriate facial hair.

Start of the 3rd rifle group

Here is the first figure of the 3rd rifle group. When i finish this rifle group, hopefully until the end of this week, my first digger section will be ready for battle.

Another “8 Ball”

As a brake in between painting lots of ANZACs I painted a crew chief for my Sikorsky H34. You can read more about the chopper model here and here. The crew chief figure is, like the pilots, an Empress Miniature sculpted by Paul Hicks.

Here is the crew chief before glueing the figure into the chopper:

And here he is in the chopper:

Here are the next four finished models. That brings me up to two complete rifle teams. You see the second team above the first team can be seen here.

Above is the fourth soldier of the 2nd rifle group.

Taking aim

The next ANZAC digger this one looks like staging an ambush.

This one is armed with a additional M79 blooper gun. Really nice action filled sculpt.
