1st Border Regiment, Arnhem

[billyturnip]

120mm resin Roll Call figure painted to represent a Private D Company, 1st Border Regt.

I really enjoyed researching and painting this figure and I hope it shows.

For those interested I've included some of the best websites I used whilst researching the figure.

Nice work on the figure Roger,i like the fact he is in full battle dress which gives the chance to show his title patches etc.
I am sculpting a 120mm Arnhem para at the moment and its good to see some others around,i wasnt aware of this figure before.

Steve, thank you. Here's the link to the Lost Battalion site that shows the figure;

It was the fact that the figure is in battledress that attracted me to it. With only a little bit of work there is plenty convertion potential.
