I've got a couple of Piranhas from that range (when they were on general release by Schuco, and I think they work quite well, especially with larger figures.

Love your project!

Post by: enionline on 17 May 2013, 08:02:55 AM: Civilian are EUREKA, and some other modified brand (also ancient).
Goats are MAGISTER MILITUM, the unique similar to afghanistan goats.

The civilian vehicle is a 1:43 diecast, if you don't use TAG mini is a good scale.

The military vehicles are CARLO BARDELLi model with strong customizaition, the best (and unique) model for italian Army.
I have some other military 1:43 model,if you use EMPRESS or EUREKA model the scale is not perfect but the effect is good.

Building and all other scenery object are homebuilt.

Thank you for the references, Enionline!

I have the same doubt than Predatorpt, as that Lince looks wonderful and I'm feeling quite tempted.

You have achieved quite a nice work up here :).

Post by: oxiana on 17 May 2013, 05:11:26 PM: My partner worked in Herat a few years ago and used to visit the Italian base there. If you ever want a scenario idea, then looking after their next shipment of wine and ham would work – they always had the best supplies, all the other foreign nationals were very keen on going there for meetings. I wonder why! lol
