Some French Army Gazelle's fitted with the HOT anti tank missile. I've got four of these pretty much completed but only had decals to complete two. I'll have to grab some more decals this week and finish the full squadron.

Had some spare T-55's sitting around and decided to paint them as an indeterminate African warlord's force. No doubt they will find employment against the likes of Delta, SAS or the Foreign Legion.

Well I know what I'll be doing over the Xmas break....

And here I have 100 points worth of Soviets. A Motorised Rifle Battalion consisting of 2 companies of infantry in BMP-2s along with supporting artillery, AA and a Tank Company of T-64s plus a pair of Mil-24 Hinds.

Ba bum dada bum bum, bum dada bum bum, bum dada bum bum, BUM DADA BUM.... etc.

I say old chap, how does one tell which of them are Russians?

Well old boy, the ones that run are Russian. The ones that stand still are well disciplined Russians.

14 Lynx transports. I also now have 6 Lynx HeliTOW copters, but they are yet to be painted etc.

I have been very busy over the summer break and today I (finally) finished painting all my British Army vehicles.

Everything laid out on my gaming table

A full company of Chieftain tanks

A full battery of FV433 Abbott from 27th Regiment RA

A pair of MLRS from 26th Regiment RA

A battery of M109s from 19th Regiment RA

A platoon of the Strike MCT mobile Milan transport. Not sure if these ever even entered British Army service or not

A platoon of FV103 Spartans with Blowpipe MANPADS

A platoon of Challenger I's from the Queens Royal Irish Hussars

A platoon of FV102 Strikers with the Swingfire ATGM

A platoon of FV721 scouts from the Yeomanry territorial forces

A reinforced scout platoon of FV107 Scimitars from the Queens Royal Dragoons regiment

A company of Tracked Rapiers from 22 Air Defence Regiment RA protecting a Helipad

A platoon of FV438 Swingfire from 3rd Regiment RHA

A full company's worth of FV432 APC transports

It's been a while, but I have still been painting.

Here we have about 90-95% of my British Army infantry formations. 2 full companies of infantry with supporting Milan, SFMG and 60mm Mortar teams plus some of the FV432 transports. Alternatively I can transport them via Lynx for that extra mobility (and vulnerability). I can probably put together a third company with the remaining unpainted minis.

Some West German MBB-105 helicopters with HOT missiles launchers waiting behind a hill to unload on a passing Soviet convoy.

This deployment is truly enviable, my most sincere congratulations, I suppose you must be a staunch player of those campaigns, I don't know much about it, but it must be very entertaining

 

[uktabber]

VERY NICE spread you've got there mate....... I love it!!

 

[TheKiwi]

A new project emerges....

 

[Jake84]

Nicely done as I previously told you. Simple question: do you have a spare room (Guest room?) where you can put all of that? This obviously take space. Keep at it.

 

[TheKiwi]

Heh, I own a three bedroom house. The master bedroom is for me and the GF, one bedroom holds our books and one bedroom holds our minis (and it's not enough, they keep spilling over to other rooms).

 

[Jake84]

Noice. When in doubt, choose the modeling over the possible baby. both expensive, but at least the modeling lets you sleep at night. Win win.

 

[TheKiwi]

Swedish HKP-9 attack helicopters and a 3d printed VW Beetle.

I've also 3d printed some more vehicles to use as backdrop terrain for gaming. VW Minibus, Mercedes 280 and a Ford Cortina.

 

[PegAsus]

Hello, im not a "table topper", but i like your work. In wich scale are the vehicles of this game?

 

[TheKiwi]

They are 15mm or 1/100 scale.
