The trucks look like Fiat 15 Ter. Minifigs if you want them in 15mm, the Matchbox Crossley is a decent proxy in 28mm.

Gents,

The Eritrean Askaris the Italians mobilised and fought with in East Africa during the Italo-Ethiopian War and WW2 were amongst some of their best fighters.

In this update I am showcasing some of the latest off the paint table to spotlight these charismatic troops so as to get them to the tabletop. More to follow soon.

The figures are lovely Paul Hicks sculpts sold by Empress - some of his best work IMHO.

Find the update along with more pics at the The Abyssinian Crisis blog.

Cheers

Happy Wanderer

Gents,

I have added the command group elements to the Eritrean Askari platoon - for your viewing pleasure.
