The Army force is done. I now have an infantry company of 3 platoons each of 3 rifle squats (1 SMG NCO, 1 BAR, 8 rifles), 1 platoon of 3 60mm mortars, various big men and of course the company command with 5 bazooka teams.
The company is supported by a battallion level machine gun platoon of 4 MMGs; and is accompanied by a Forward Observer Team.

Some spare models that do not fit into the rifle company organization, but will certainly be of use at one point in time.

The bases are ready painted, the brown highlighted with a lighter brown and an ochre drybrush in my usual style, then individual stones and pebbles picked out in a medium grey or grey blue and drybrushed stone grey.
All that needs to be done now is adding some static grass and then the final varnish.

All the bases are basecoated. I hate painting sand... so many undercuts...

I smoothed out the ground around the integral bases of the models, then glued sand and small pebbles on top.

It is about time I get these models off the to do list, they are pending for long enough.
I applied an oil wash using Winsor & Newton lamp black and Sansodor to all the models. When this is dry, I will go over them with Sansodor again, where the miniatures are too dark. Then I can start finishing the bases.

The US Army models are all painted in base colours. Next step is to remove the models from the wooden sticks and glue them to their bases.

I applied a black oil wash, the result is basically fine and I will go with this simple base coat / oil wash procedure, but I need to make it thinner, this first batch is way too dark. I removed some of the wash with a cotton but, but the overall effect is still too dark.
Current status:
