Amazingly I have finished a 4th batch of figures this week, here are 19 x WW2 British Infantry, mostly weapons teams, command or communication bases. The figures are plastic 25mm Valiant Miniatures which are sold as 1/72 figures but are rather oversized in my opinion.

The Valiant Boxed Set allows you to build 68 figures, I made-up eth other figures quite some years ago and these are all that were left in my spares box, so I decided to paint them up for use.
There are two 2" mortar teams and an HMG team

| There's actually also two much large mortar models in the set |
Two Command Teams and a communication team
 |
| The guys pointing are actually also carrying a clipboard, whilst the kneeling officer has a Sten Gun. |

And lastly a six man squad.

| Five Riflemen with the classic Lee Enfield and an NCO with a Sten Gun |

To make my point about the size of these figures,

So these guys were all undercoated in white, before overpainting with Valliejo '
English Uniform' which I'd lightened with some white paint. Webbing was then added using Citadel '
Nurgling Green' and setting aside to dry after adding brown boots for officers and black boots for other ranks.
Gunmetal was added as required for revolvers, rifles, Sten Guns and Binoculars after which Citadel 'Vermin Fur' was used for the rifles' woodwork. Flesh and hair was added before painting the helmets neat 'English Uniform' and then highlighting the leaves in a bright green.
All was then washed in a watered down Army Painter Dark Shade and then matt varnished.
