Cartel A-Go-Go: Cartel gang completed 17/08/18
« on: May 05, 2017, 09:53:16 PM »

Malamute, Jimbibbly and I are resurrecting our Drug Cartel project, a 28mm skirmish between rival drug cartels, government forces and DEA agents in San Malador, Columbia(ish).

More words and pictures to follow.

And of course, I'm the terrain monkey for this project  ::)

First things first is the runway and hanger. Just over four foot of runway and a nearly complete hanger. Planes on the way as well and I already have some scatter terrain that's almost ready to show  :D

But where to find a figure of Wagner Moura that's 20 kilos overweight?
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

what era or years are you planning on playing?
Is I supposed to be Colombia or a no name location?

I was planning on useing some of my late war US army for a no name south American Nation in the 50s, with French indo-China paras as troops from a neighboring nation. Or I some one comes out with 50s Brits, they could be involved too.

If your leaning to more 70s or 80s, i might try some of the under fire minatures west Germans.
Could also always go the route of TAG us Vietnam figs too.
