Operation “Restore” – Patton would approve

Following such adventures as; Project Panther, Project Elephants,Project Panzer grenadiers and Project US infantry the same creator brings you:

“Operation Restore”

Yes Patton would approve….

Several days ago a clandestine effort was launched to recover some lost FOW US infantry forces from a neglected home buy way of on line auction.

The results were astounding! The following units were both discovered and reconnoitred.

5 Sherman tanks
3 M10 GMC’s
105mm Field Battery plus observers and trucks
6 Jeeps
1 platoon of infantry and commands
3 medium trucks
and 2x 2-ton trucks

These boys were ransomed back for a meagre amount short of $100.
Battered bruised and suffering some serious wear and tear there is nothing a new round of boot camp won’t fix.

We are certain Uncle Sam will put these warriors back were there wanted the most… pushing the enemy all the way back to Berlin.

Of interesting note is we have some late war new models of infantry and some good classical Evan sculpt U.S infantry. The latter defiantly my pick of the bunch

Almost all of these boys are destined for a long programme of soothing their weary pains away in the “Green Stuff” bath. Followed by a dry and a good brush. Later a nice new nuggeting of those boots-n-all in a KolorKote undercoat black.

The guns and some vehicles need a full chassis re-straightening and the shields need a panel beating followed by a gun alignment.

Several vehicles need those powerful .50 cal HMG’s positioned for full affect.

The gun battery staff team needs a full replacement table leg set and some personnel seem to be AWOL… but we have some replacements.

All up an exciting venture in making do with some misfits and making them effective… Kelly and Hannibal would be appropriate staff sergeants and colonel names in this lot.

Here is the details… at this point they were ordered to put on their despondent sad puppy dog eyed stares whilst picking some bits of rice out of a canteen… but these guys couldn’t because they had run out of dirty pink T shirts and had at least been keeping clean shaved or wrapped in tin foil. But her is some close ups of the terrible wounds to treat, and the original recognisance photos which are quiet blurry.

Shermans

M10 GMC's

jeeps X 6

105mm howitzers

Those are the recon photos

here are the pictures of teh torture those poor little bastards went throgh..

This poor set of guns were confused as being part of the Thunderbirds franchise.. they port dashinf silver barreld and English Machinary green paint with black trim, just like those factory machines fromthe turn of the 18 Century have.
The shields are munted and the barrels pont in every dangerous direction you can think of..including straight up.. which isn’t good for a howitzer .. eh?
m10
This is an M10… without a barrel and without a crew… apparently the a time hole opened up and a 1970’s peace corp troop appeared and totaly disarmed the thing before having to re enter the star gate…

staggers
This poor truck has got the staggers… al we need is shepard with belley needle… and it will up in no time. Although rummers are teh A team will use a work shop and turn it into a tricycle that an orc would be proud to hand to suicide grot.

ompaloompa
These guys are typical of most of the patoon.. except the ones waiting for UFO’s wearing thier metal foil suits.
These are the Ompa Loomps suits… your best machinary green overals to match the guns and nice poo brown metal guns.. or are they terracotta… like the famouse chinese buried army… All we really know.. is that those battle garments are going to be destroyed right after fumigation!

syncloompas

Asin all armies ther is always an elite. These Elite Ompaloompas would normally be US tank crew bailing out of thier tank… but not these guys.. ooooh noo! these chaps have the most bright and fashionable Ompa oompa suits and they even walk a cool jazz dance in synchronisation that would put a Chinese mass political ralley to shame.
You don’t use these guys too often and they are calssified as a RARE option in your army… especially as because thier little ompa loompa vehichles tend to burn so easily… this why these suits have no rhine stones and and crew are slected for good eyesight because any magnified sun beam with spark these boys up!

  1. Well like most bought online stuff there seems to be a mix of good stuff and some not so great all painted badly. All in all though it looks like a good buy. Thats a lot of value there if you can restore it all to something you might put on a gaming table.
