28mm Tarawa Marine

 No one gets left behind!

I had fancied doing a casualty being carried to safety by another 28mm Marine for the Tarawa board. 

So I did some parts searching in the bit box and came up with enough parts. I would not be able to curve the body enough to go over the lifting marine - so i just used green stuff for the t the torso of the wounded guy. Some parts were already painted. 

They were all Warlord parts....paratroopers, marines and infantry.

I placed the arms as high as i could and pulled them inward.

The green stuff was easier to mould but i wanted the wounded guy to be holding on -almost to the belt.

I used a head without a helmet to make it seem like it had been left behind somewhere...

So then I re-painted and washed, highlighted them. Then based with our clear home made base.

It reminds me of the movie Heartbreak Ridge. 

Finished guys looks ok on the table...bearing in mind the scale of the actual guys compared to this photo.

So It looks ok and will add a bit of detail...
