Nice one with the buildings, although the spray painted mountainside looks disappointing by comparison. Perhaps if you tried using, say thin triangular blocks of solid colour pointing up the slopes then it might fit better with the observatories.

I'll try it. I never did like that mountainside, but I couldn't think of another way to make it work. It'll be hard to blank it, though; the browns and greys are actually minor colour gradations.

An M15 machine gun, basically an MG08/15 with an M1919 barrel.

Image
An M3 Garand, just a converted M1 to serve as a replacement for the M14 (which I heard was generally inferior to its predecessor rifle).

Image
A late 40s tank whose name I have yet to decide, it's as original as I can get with vehicles, being a tank with an M46 chassis (only sloped... sorta), a centurion turret, and an Abrams-style tread arrangement.

It really depends on how colourful you want your troops to appear, especially if we are talking about early war uniforms.
