I recently purchased some White metal U.S. and German Paratroopers in 28mm. They were about $25 AUD for a box of 8 - superior value to any plastic or resin kits. Although they are only 1/2 the size of a 1/35 they easily have at least as much detail as a resin set. I am making a scene from band of brothers episode 3 in Carentan when 1st platoon run down the road towards Cafe de Normandie without realising it is full of Fallschirmjaeger Mg42s. should look really good. The building is made of cardboard and paddle po sticks.
Blessed is he who shepheards the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brothers keeper...
