Painted  the little blokes

32 Battalion SADF
















Got one more to add, he fell off the desk and missed being painted (aargh), which is why there is one group of three.

Thanks very much. I'd been wanting to have a go at it for a while, just a case of finding suitable minis to chop up.
I'm not sure if I got the SWA battle vest quite right, as I couldn't find a single picture showing the sides. So not sure if there should have been pouches or water-bottles there, I went with a bit of a mixed bag of both even a couple with none. I've still got one more bloke to finish, who went AWOL whilst having his WIP picture taken, then at some stage I'll probably add a PUMA helo & maybe a Rattel or a Buffel if I can find a 1/72 kit.
Also got some more FAPLA on the way.

They are resin, but S&S do 3 pages of Ratel variants, the Oliphant tank, the Blesbok and a pair of Casspirs. The do a Rodesian Crocodile too. No Buffel that I am aware of though.

cheers juergen, I just placed an order for some bits with Shaun; a couple of Unimogs, a jeep, a Ratel & an Olifant. Need to finish off some Alouettes first.

Forgot to post a pic of the BTR-152

Outstanding figures.
Love the way you have painted them.
Your basing really adds to the look of the figures.

WIP
SADF Olifant



SADF Buffels


If these look slightly battered and bent, it's because I dropped them all..!

Looks good as usual ! Interesting to see tanks in a bush wars settings too. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Africa saw big tank battles, during Bush Wars era, right ?


On my side, I hope to come back on my own Ultramar projects soon.
