Progress with the Japanese infantry for Crossfire

It's been a while .. the whole 'painting mojo' thing comes and goes. Finally I've finished the Japanese infantry I undercoated a month of two ago.  I opted for a more open basing aesthetic for these.. the jungle style bases may be a little overcrowded, and anyway not everyone would be fighting in dense jungle all the time, and there would be clearings in the jungle.

This adds another two platoons to the force, designed and intended for Crossfire (although they could be used equally well for Spearhead, as they share a common basing convention. In that case this would offer another two companies.

The net result of the Crossfire Pacific painting project so far

The troops in amongst the scatter terrain markers I created a few months ago.

The force lacks the support weapons. I have been trying to order some SHQ miniatures from Grubby Tanks, as others better in the know recommended that they are perhaps the best size fit with these Airfix infantry which are on the small size for 20mm figures. However I received no response at all from Grubby Tanks, who seem to be the sole supplier, so I have ordered what I think I'll need from Eureka Miniatures... they have confirmed the order and it is apparently on its way.
