MMG Carrier fun

On the weekend I cleaned up my work area and tried to place out on my ready-shelf (where I tend to keep my main project forces to I can easily see them and hopefully be inspired) all the units for this force. I managed to discover a few German bits and peices that with a few quick touch-ups and some rebasing with look top notch.

I also went through all my stowage and started adding it to my remaining 2 M10s, along with the appropriate crew. Just need another Allied stowage set to complete them.

Most fun was had with my 4 MMG Carriers. Did a bit of head-swapping (I hate the fact that BF only supplies the same 3 poses - driver, relaxed chap in front passenger seat, and even more relaxed chap in the back) so I've randomly distributed late war style helmets through the crew. I also repositioned 2 of the vickers MMGs (which I previously had all facing directly forwards) so they look like they are being fired - I cut a seated gunner in half and added him to a standing trunk & legs - if that makes sense - the cut off feet etc until he was the right height. Made up a few green stuff rolls etc and need some bits from the Allied stowage set to complete.

Also need a new MMG Platoon as I've had to 'kill' my remaining two gunners to fit into the back of the Carriers.

Will add pictures on day I swear.

Have fun...
