E-Boat: A Nice Distraction

As part of our club activities we are currently recreating the British 3rd Divisions landings on sword beach. As part of that I have just finished a 1/300 E boat for the battle in Oustrieham. Its from the Heroics and Ross range. The Mast did not come with the model so i have fashioned one together and it had no crew or MG42 position on the bow so I have added that to. Its based on a clear 5" by 1 1/4" base so that it will match any blue sea terrain mat that it is placed on. 

6mm British Royal Marines + Paras

Some of the guys at the war games club to which I belong will be recreating the landings at Sword Beach using 6mm figures sometime in the next month. The rule set will be Spearhead and somehow I have found myself painting the Royal Marine battalions and the Parachute battalion that held the Pegasus bridge and took the small port of Ouistreham (apologies if that isn't spelt right).

Anyway here are some pics.
