Do or Die! Gung-ho! Gung-ho!
I finished up the last of my
modern United States Marines. Well, the infantry. I do have a pair of M1 Tanks
to give them some heavy (on table) support, and I’d like to pick up a pair of
AAVP-7A1 and some HMMWVs (from Imprint
Models), but that’ll have to wait until I sell some minis…
I finished up 28 of them (two
squads), but here’s the whole force:
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
With a few exceptions noted
below the bulk of this force is from Eureka
Miniatures USA.
I have a platoon of three squads (each with three fireteams of four plus a squad leader and a guy carrying a device for scrambling IEDs...?), and a platoon command of four. There are some EOD, Force REcon and Snipers I can also attach to the force.

First Squad
Second Squad
Third Squad
Platoon command (from Empress Miniatures) consisting of a platoon commander, 2IC, Radio Operator and an attached Naval Corpsman. (ARe they still Naval Corpsmen? Or are they just "Marine Medics" now?)
EOD Team (also from Empress Miniatures)
Snipers - the prone fellow is from Eureka Miniatures USA and the standing guy is from The Assault Group
Marine Force Recon patrol.

I also have an additional Naval Corpsman from Victory Force Miniatures. He's quite gigantic next to the others...

As mentioned I do have a could
of plastic 1/48 scale plastic M1 tank models to assemble and paint for these
guys… and would like to pick up two AAVP-7A1 and 3-4 HMMWVs (for a recce
patrol) and maybe a LAV-25.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Hmmmmmm… hard to say… I have a handful of modern Africans
that just arrived from The
Assault Group that I’m anxious to do up as they are a small addition
to an otherwise complete force…. I also still have a handful of zombies to
finish up… I also have a couple of old Aurora Monster Movie Models that I’m
going to assemble and paint for a friend that I want to get so soon-ish…
I’ll probably finish up the Africans and Zombies first, then
get cracking on The Mummy!
They look really good. The MARPAT looks pretty spot on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicky!
DeleteThese look awesome, great work on them Tim
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave!
DeleteGreat work!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive paint job.
ReplyDeleteWow, great work on that camo..
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are still corpsmen.
ReplyDeleteCheers BV!
DeleteGreat collection! It was the one that inspired me to paint marines also, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would really love to see some more additions to your painting tutorial guide on here. You do an excellent job on various camouflage patterns. It's more difficult than some would think.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's something I'd like to do at some point... The "How to Paint DPM" post gets more hits than any other by a large margin - so I get that it's popular - it's just very time consuming and I feel like I barely have enough time to just get the stuff I want painted done, so... someday, but don't hold your breath or anything!
DeleteI understand completely!
