28mm Bush Wars

[Ash]

I'd like to get hold of some of the 28mm guerrilla minis, particularly the ones with SKS rifles, but can't find them on any seller sites...

[Arlequín]

Don't even go there... 

Eureka like to keep some things under the counter, or at least it seems that way. I was fortunate in having a friend make the appropriate secret handshakes and utter the right words at Eureka HQ so he could get some to send to me.



Or you could just drop Nic an e-mail and ask him for some with the pass-word "How much?" 

[Ash]

I'd like to get the ones wearing boots with AKs and the boss chap as well, then paint them up as ZIPRA.
Give me a good excuse to get a 1/48 scale BTR-152, if there is such a thing.

[Arlequín]

Not in 1/48 AFAIK, but Brent at Company B keeps teasing us with word of one in 1/56th. 

Seriously, it's nearly ready he tells me.

"Give me a good excuse to get a 1/48 scale BTR-152, if there is such a thing."

The BTR152 is a big vehicle. I suspect that it will be too large too match with the 28mm Eureka minis and Company B are getting close on the BTR AFAIK.

...wait for Company B, you won't be disappointed I'm sure. 

Cheers

There isn't a 1/48 BTR-152, at least to the best of my knowledge and I have searched, so your options are limited. You won't be disappointed with Company B's offerings.

[CompanyB]

I can't start any rumors.  But yeah, I have the BTR-152 and BTR-40 masters as well as some weapons and variants.

All I can say is that it will be out this summer..along with some very important friends for them to play with.

Outstanding. Thanks to all for the heads up and the info. Much appreciated.

Forgot to post the pics of the Selous Scout tracker, a slight malfunction with the MK1 eyeball re focusing, but close enough'ish..:

I dig this topic, since I realized that I missed it during months  


Tonight I was searching for painting ideas for my portuguese, after I wasted 1 paint bottle and half  of a 2d one (!) trying to make a background camo tone I though could work...I was wrong  

And then, I've seen your portuguese, and you found the exact color scheme I'm searching for (litteraly) months.

As I explained on Guild, i'm afraid my current collection of paints is still a bit limited, and  I have no hobby store near, so I have to order all my paints 'blind"... It's quite easy for most common paint schemes, a lot more difficult for "exotic" subjects...

Could you help me ?

thank you !


edit : in the mean time, I'm doing a test figure using german fieldgrey as base   I'll post the result (on my own topic to not hijack yours more  )


edit2 : I posted the sample figure pics here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=76072.15

That's funny I was just looking at your Portuguese test mini, and left a comment.
The base green I went with was mainly German field grey, with I think some Russian uniform. The green 'stripes' were a mix of luftwaffe green and olive and the brown 'stripes' a mix of chocolate brown and a little bit of red leather (all paints Vallejo).

Picked up some more Eureka figures at Salute; RAR, I was after the running blokes with headgear and the officer, but they only came as a complete set of the whole lot of thirteen minis. Also got a pack of ZANLA, about twenty minis.

I chopped up some of the RAR to add a bit of variety:

Started to paint these blokes:

Awesome figures & talent!
