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.

Band of Brothers. 101st Airborne in 15mm for the Battle for the Normandy: Support Column done

Which way to the Front?

Supply jeep is on the way to my 15mm US Airborne.

I like rule where such small vignettes are not only ornamental but also serve a function - in this case to rearm units that are out-of-ammo.

Driver is a printed one, Jeep and passenger are Battlefront Miniatures, trailer is printed too, STL from Eskice Miniature.
Tarp is made from paper tissue, stowage is either printed, or from Battlefront again.

Deutsche Version

Wo, bitte, gehts zur Front?

Jeep mit Versorgungsgütern auf dem Weg zu meinen 15mm US Airborne.

Ich liebe ja Regeln, wo solche kleinen Vignetten nicht nur zur Zierde für den Spieltisch dienen, sondern auch eine echte Funktion erfüllen - in dem Falle Einheiten wieder aufzumunitionieren, die ihre Munition komplett verschossen haben.

Band of Brothers: 101st Airborne in 15mm for the Battle for the Normandy: 57mm Anti Tank gun finished

On and on with my 15mm Project "Battle of Carentan"

Finished the last Platoon Support Option for my Screaming Eagles - an 57mm Anti-Tank gun with additional crew.

For Battlegroup they count as optional Loader Team, for Chain of Command as JL with 5 crew.

57mm AT gun and the crew printed by myself again, but this time the STL´s are from Eskice Miniature.
Had to rescale them quite a bit so they fit well with Battlefront and 3D Breed.

Sand bags are made from Greenstuff, tufts, flowers and flock are from different manufacturers (Gamers Grass, MiniNatur, AK Interactive Woodland and so on).

Deutsche Version

Und weiter gehts mit meinem 15mm Projekt "Battle of Carentan".

Die letzte Platoon Support Option für meine Screaming Eagles ist fertig geworden - eine 57mm PaK mit zusätzlicher Crew.

Bei Battlegroup gelten die als optionales Loader Team (Chance auf höhere RoF), für Chain of Command als Junior Leader mit 5 Crew.

PaK und Crew sind wieder selbstgedruckt, die STL´s stammen dieses Mal von Eskice Miniature.

Das Anpassen war etwas zeitaufwendiger, bis die Figuren größenmäßig dann gut zu Battlefront und 3D Breed passten.

Sandsäcke der Base habe ich aus Greenstuff gemacht, Blumen und Tufts stammen. von den verschiedensten Herstellern (Gamers Grass, MiniNatur, AK Interactive Woodland usw.).
