From StuartL - A Band of Brothers

Continuing with my efforts to get some older armies painted up, and projects done, I have spent the past week working on some American Airborne for the Overlord/Normandy campaign. I bought the majority of these figures 6 or 7 years ago I think. Since that time, they have largely been left untouched and stowed away in a box. Thanks to the quarantine challenge I have managed to get the bulk of my infantry done along with a couple of support weapons.

I still have a group of command figures, mortar teams and machine gun teams to do, but they will probably turn up around the end of the challenge as most of them still need cleaning up and assembling.

These minis took quite a while to paint as they are pretty busy in terms of webbing, camo and combat gear. That said, I am really happy with how they have turned out. Of course, now I'll need some Fallschirmjäger to oppose them and then some of the US Airborne in their later uniforms for Market Garden.

So that's 35 minis and a gun to add to my tally. My math puts that at 185 points, bringing my unofficial score up to 679.5 and my side duel total up to 527.5. This also puts me over my score for painted minis (not including the location bonuses) for the winter challenge, so I am very happy with my output thus far.
