US Bolt Action army complete.....for now

After a short break due to work I got my Bolt Action army finished last night. All ready to go now. It's roughly the same size as the 500 point army you can buy so I presume it's roughly around there. The make up is as follows:

2 x  10 man squads of NCO, BAR and 8 riflemen
2 x Bazooka teams
1 x Sniper teams
1 x HQ - Lieutenant and rifleman
1 x 30. cal team
1 x Sherman
1 x M3A1 Halftrack

I'm pretty pleased, it's a good enough base army to get going. I've already got my eye on additions though also I may start a Waffen SS army but it'll do for now. I also still have about another 15 guys I can make with the left over sprues but they can wait.

Apologies for the crappy pictures but I took the them on my phone.

I converted the driver of the halftrack into a gunner as I didn't see the point putting a figure in there you wouldn't see!

I tried out some new weathering techniques on the Sherman. It looks ok I think, I need to learn how to do some good looking mud but all in all not bad.

I just realised I didn't lay out the 30 cal team!! I'll do separate picture for them.

Here are the 2 medics I made out of the left overs

 Onto the next project.
