Thanks Bill, much appreciated.
I'm having a bit of a painting break due to house move, but will no doubt get back into ...

Ash. Sorry about this but I've been in contact with my sculptor and ground has now been cut on not one, not two, but five 20mm Milan atgm packs.

Regards,

Picked up a couple of 1/72 FV 432 APC kits from S&M Models; first thing I've bought from them.

Added a couple of Milan teams and a pack of prone blokes to my 20mm BAOR platoon:

Cheers chaps. It's funny how taking pictures shows up the bits missed. A few areas in need of more matt varnish.

Here's the platoon; three sections with GPMG & Carl Gustaf, a couple also have an LMG. HQ section is not quite standard; Officer, radio op, 51cm mortar team, then two attached GPMG teams and two Milan teams.

Another winner Ash. Very well painted, the colours seem spot on... took me back a few years with these. Well done Sir.

Nice. IIRC I had 3 waterbottle pouches in addition to the usual configuration and 2 bum rolls secured on top of the kidney pouches, all held in really tight by the ubiquitous bungee.  One bum roll for a poncho and waterproof trousers and jacket and one for my Noddy Suit.  The 'correct' configuration was pretty awful, the bum roll in the designed location flapped around when you were running.  We always tried to keep the webbing away from our legs.

Not posted in here for a while; converted some UnderFire Rhodesians to look a bit like 1970's Brit SAS.
