New Guinea Sniper

An unidentified soldier uses a .303 Short Magazine Lee Enfield rifle

Drawn from hunters, competitive shooters, natural marksmen, outdoorsmen, city dwellers, farmers and veteran soldiers, they fought to assert local battlefield dominance and instil among their enemy a paralysing fear.

Sometimes admired and other times reviled by their own comrades because of the retaliation they drew, they were always too few in number.

The sniper model I have chosen is from Eureka Miniatures. For me it has that quintessential Aussie lay-back laconic look and feel to it.

Next some forward observers and a flamethrower team.
