2026

So have been doing ww2 reading when a new project came to mind. It all started after I read the above book US 3rd Division in world war Two pictorial history. I just thought yes would love to try and do a force for my Bolt Action/ COC rule sets. So I started to go through exsisiting models kits found a GI infantry box of 30 troops plus some spares from sprues on magazine and ones sent when you order from warlord Games. I then ordered 3 x Jumbo 76mm resin tanks, from warlord, I wanted these just for a change from 75mm Shermans and the 3rd armoured  were issued these in replacement of basic Shermans during there fighting, so just thought go with these. So started to get my force together. From stuff bought and sat waiting to be made.

30 armoured infantry

3 x 76mm Shermans

3 x  M5 stuart light tanks.

3 x M3 A1 Halftracks. ( 2 already owned 1 bought new)

1 x M21 Mortar carrier half track.

So I hope to be doing Task Force Hogan( names after its commander) but I am waiting for my next research book to arrive for fathers day, which is the first picture. So up to now have built and painted my 30 + GI’s and added the 3rd Armoured shoulder decal patch to the left shoulder which I got from District Miniatures with some other decals for a future project. Undercoated and cam painted my shermans. Built undercoated my new half track with kitbashed crew man behind 50 cal, built then undercoated the mortar carrier. ( see pictures below)
