Lol

Have you thought about Rajah Brooks (the WW2 movie set in Borneo I think) with Dyaks, now there would be a good jungle game

I can't find Rajah Brooks on dvd and I don't think I've ever seen it. I have read Elephant Bill though so I plan to do a rescue the elephants scenario.

To update:

Today my Chieftan Model order arrived. I only placed the order yesterday so I'm very pleased. The box contained both vehicles, some free decals and a hand written note about assembling them.

Top marks to Crouchie.

Photos will follow when everything is assembled.
Current progress is, as always, here:

I know and they are too small as well, you can not really recognize the quality of the details

Oh wait, here we go...





These are sculpted by Richard Ansell, he's my favourite sculptor for wargames figures, very easy to paint.
