Very cool conversions!  I did a Aussie force...well as a matter of fact an ANZAC force for the North Africa using the Perry stuff.  Love the hats for the conversion too.

Nice conversions! Lovely bit of jungle.

Oddly enough I snaffled one or two of the Perry chaps in long trousers myself, to fill out the gaps in my second Eureka platoon. They’re shorter and naginally more slight but with the right basing they fit right in.

Thanks again John. You never fail to impress. Also great to see the Aussies getting up and at 'em. One day I hope to get some traction in the Malaya campaign but in 20mm. In the meantime I'll drool over your blog entries. Cheers.

That is seriously nice terrain. I thought it was photoshopped real jungle at first glance.
