Band of Brothers. 101st Airborne in 15mm: Reinforcements to field a 3rd Squad

I have restructured (and rebased some of them) my US Parachute Infantry a bit among other things and so all my Junior Leaders are based separately now.

In the course of this I painted a few reinforcements and can use them now to field a 3rd squad - as additional support for our games on Sicily, or to be able to represent the new formation of the US Airborne platoons with now 3 squads from Market Garden onwards.

Miniatures are all from Battlefront Miniatures.

And a few pictures from the WiP stage:

Band of Brothers. 101st Airborne in 15mm: Recce Jeeps and dismounted teams

The dismounted crews for the Recce Jeeps are finished and with them the mere Airborne part is complete (at least for now).

Over the next coming weeks there will follow the armoured support for Project Carentan and that is the 2nd Armoured Division "Hell on Wheels".

Deutsche Version

Die abgesessenen Teams der Recce Jeeps sind fertig geworden und damit der (zumindest vorerst) letzte Part der reinen Airborne-Truppe.

In den nächsten Wochen folgen dann die gepanzerten Unterstützungstruppen für mein Carentan-Projekt - und das ist die 2nd Armoured Division "Hell on Wheels".

Band of Brothers. 101st Airborne in 15mm for the Battle for the Normandy: First sniper team done

The first sniper team for my Airborne is ready to make sure those Krauts keep their heads down - and for Battlegroup, it is also the first reconnaissance unit.

Sniper and Observer self printed again, STL´s are from 3D Breed, whereby I built the scope myself from brass wire and Greenstuff, as there was no ready-made figure for it available.

The brick wall is made from single "stones" cut from styrofoam.

Deutsche Version

Das erste Scharfschützen-Team für meine Airborne ist bereit dafür zu sorgen, dass die Krauts ihre Köpfen unten halten - und für Battlegroup ist es gleichzeitig die erste Aufklärungseinheit, die damit einsatzbereit ist.

Schütze und Beobachter sind wieder selbstgedruckt, STL´s stammen wieder von 3D Breed, wobei ich das Zielfernrohr aus Messingdraht und Greenstuff selbstgebaut habe, da es keine fertige Figur dafür gab.

Die Mauern habe ich aus einzeln geschnittenen "Steinen" aufgemauert, die ich aus Styrofoam geschnitten habe.
