Hello guys, far again... far away again after the starting date of OP Market Garden campaign, I will show a set of 2nd SAS Regiment figures as an entry of this campaign. I hope that I get a suitable figures kit related to the operation based on article about history of British SAS cited from Wikipedia entitled "Secret Air Service":

...In 1944 the SAS Brigade was formed from the British 1st and 2nd SAS, the French 3rd and 4th SAS and the Belgian 5th SAS.[23] It was tasked with parachute operations behind the German lines in France[2] and carried out operations supporting the Allied advance through Belgium, the Netherlands (Operation Pegasus), and eventually into Germany (Operation Archway)...

I conclude that the British SAS was actually involved in Operation Market Garden since they tasked to perform a rescue mission called as "Operation Pegasus" to evacuate the survivor of Battle of Arnhem. Please correct me if I'm wrong... The figures look simple, but not really at all. Pictures below show my starting date and the contains of the set are as follows:




Without wasting too much time, basic work on figures' head are begin:

Hi Ricky, just check the position of the ammo pouches on all your figures as they should ride higher supported on the webbing straps....! Looking good though😉

Many thanks Brent! But, I think they still very far from perfect result, especially face, man I used Tamiya acrylic paint, 6 colors which consisting of Flat Earth as their primary camouflage plus combination of NATO Brown, NATO Black, Yellow Green, Buff, and also Field Grey.

Hi fellas, the figures were finished in major, but sorry for my late sharing since I have a problem with the photo editor. I already submitted photos into the "OP Market Garden" campaign's gallery when my computer date still shown the deadline of the campaign, October 9, 2015; it also the same time when I create the latest post at "Campaign OP Market Garden" (Friday, October 09, 2015 - 11:23 PM UTC).

The upload sequence was successful, but I'm being confused since the gallery states that my photos was uploaded at October 10, 2015. I just hope that my entries were able to considered as finished on-time... But, anyway, I'm still happy to share the finished result as follows:

Figure 1






Figure 2





Cheers
