28mm WW2 Marines

 28mm WW2 Marines.

28mm Marines

..I could see from our research that some gear was placed in rubber boats to bring to the shore...So I tried out some new 3d prints.


The prints are to be used for our Pacific Assault game but as soon as I started to think about these the old Airfix 1:72 scale Marines pack came to mind. I remember they had a dingy and paddling Marines in the pack as well! . 

So these 4 were printed 

Pulled out a mat to see how they (painted up) and looked on table - and I think they look ok.
Placed some guys at the front pulling it in and filled it with some ammo boxes etc.

Placed some other guys wading in around them for scale.

This type of dingy was used to ferry in ammo etc.

I left this one with just one guy pulling it...the other guy is MIA.

Wading Marines are...  "A Plenty"

So I think it was successful.
