Apologies, that account will reset on 19th. I don't know why it keeps max'ing out so fast. I'm assuming something somewhere is hotlinked to it, but as Photobucket no longer provide usage stats I can't tell...

They're showing up in the previous posts now. Some very nice additions there - it's all looking very good. I look forward to seeing some paint on these bad boys.

The marksman lying prone next to the termite mound is cool! :D

I'm not sure if someone asked already, but what is your technique for the skin?  It's just fantastic!  The minis are really beautiful, and at 20mm no less!

@ Too Bo Coo:  Here's the colours I tend to use.
African skin; base colour, vallejo cam.black brown, highlighted with Highlight Germ. (Black), finally a thin wash of black.
European skin; base colour, Vallejo flat flesh, a wash of thin brown, highlight with more flat flesh & light flesh.

WIP:  Six sticks of RAR; stick leader with radio & FN, MAG gunner plus two blokes with FN:



WIP: Back four blokes will be a four man tracker team all with FN, one with radio.
Front row L-R, four man PATU stick, chap with RPG to add to the SAS group, then three stick leaders to add to the RLI Fireforce.

Hi Ash,
I have always been intrigued by the Rhodesian (and South African)
Mine Proof Vehicles like the Meerkat, Buffel, and the Leopard.......
do you think they'll go over good if I do them?

I think they look great, but the they are a bit pricy,we just need S.and S. models to release one,they do very good work.

35 just wasn't enough so here's another five :

These blokes were/are the generic NATO troops from Elhiem, I just removed the butt packs and replaced with pouches, then filed down the helmets to look more like WW2 Brit para helmets (not quite there yet).




This bloke was just a head swap and a file down of some of the webbing, will add to my collection of RLI blokes:

@ Dangerdaz: Thanks for the comment.

Lynx now with added things that go boom. Scale is probably more than a tad off, but sort of looks the part.

I thinks perfect,nice and menacing,the Rhodesian A-10...kind of. I just like the fact that can cause such fear.

Finished off the base for the Crocodile MPV from S&S Models, so I've now run out of excuses to put off painting all the troops.
