Nicely done!

Is that BTR-40 the Uncle Les one, he just made?
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

Thanks agents,

The trick off course is working from an excellent palate. Those Eureka minis are par excellence...Kosta really out did himself on these.

The guy with the binos is a standard mini....no mods.

The vehicles are a mixed bag. The trucks I picked up and at a local hobby shop. They are generic 'toys trucks' but look suitably 1960s-ish. The BTR is from Eureka aka Les. Nic had a handful of 3D print 'test vehicles'...I grabbed one to give it a whirl. They look the part for a knocked up generic Africa vehicles.

..so bottom line is you can get all this from Eureka Miniatures.

Cheers

Happy W.

Great stuff. The gang in the armoured scout car look particularly good.
