Thanks, James, I'll scale things up a bit for the next game and see how it goes!

This project is not dead!

I have painted some Full Battle Rattle ISAF Canadians.  Lots of photos on the blog http://willstoysoldiers.blogspot.ca/2017/01/isaf-canadians.html, here are a couple of teasers:

This project is not dead!  I've been using the same terrain for my Jhamjar (interwar/1919/Chain of Command) and NWF (1880/TMWWBK) games and am still gradually adding to the collection.

Latest additions are on my blog here:  http://willstoysoldiers.blogspot.ca/2017/07/more-for-afghanistan-and-nwf.html

Update includes Afghan medics:


The latest and greatest in cartage options:




Plus a trio of adventurers out to make a name for themselves:

Thanks for the comments.  I hadn't gone very far, though, I was just over on the Colonial and Interwar boards!

Another year, and another case of threadomancy!  I've built phase one of the mosque for my Afghan city.

Eventually, I hope to improve the detailing of the building, and to add a minaret.

Thanks, Alex.  I'm trying to get something close to the real thing:





I've still got lots of work to do before it looks like that!

Loved your blogpost, might have to try extending the vest as you suggested when I get round to finishing mine.
