Well gang here is the latest from the frontlines fresh out of combat the Musorian armor work horse the venerable T-55 and some work in progress shots of the next one the second one I cut off all the fenders and opened up the hatches modeled on some periscopes and placed a commander in the turret(Mongrol PLO gunner bent up to fit the hatch)and just ordered up the eureka zanla DSHK gun to crew it as well i may load this one up with lots of stowage may have a look at blackdog see if any thing fits the bill .The tanks are being weathered with oils and pigments and i have been having a blast doing this again ,well on to the pics then thanks for looking D.

I do
Nice work on the t-55,  i have a bunch of those waiting to get their tracks stiffened 

[dsmith]

Col. What technique are you using to stiffen the tracks both sets of mine split and are being held together with staples...cool I will pop over to the compound soon and order up some weren't you going to cast up an HQ unit? Thanks again.

[Col.Stone]

PVA or wood glue on one, and trying with small amounts of very liquid superglue on a other, still undecided which is the better way to go..
I will, need to try to get a machinegunner to go in that mould aswell,,

[dsmith]

Thanks Col. For the info on that I am ordering more so I will give it a go on those....I am afraid its to late for these...will just band aid them and play them as is may order some propaganda kompany T -55 treads and wheels some time later to fix em he has some great stuff...for sure. How many figures are going to be in the new set? Do you have nice new shiney pictures of them? Thanks again now off to weather up my
PT -76.....Next battle set for next weekend.....its set to be a large armor battle. D

[Col.Stone]

So when do you intend to have these spun? The HQ set and forward observer team are just what I need...hopefully soon as things are heating up in the kingdom I was able to find a modern Q 99 from China pricey but nice for the invasion...D

[Col.Stone]

I'll try to focus my attention on finishing the machinegun, it'ss what's holding me back

I bought one on ebay. It's a bit big for Cols Stone's Chinese and it's definitely bigger than the 1/48 it was advertised as but others mileage may differ. happy to offload it if anyone is interested.

[dsmith]

Carlos...I am interested pm me maybe we can work something out...D

Gents I am recruiting your expertise in the hunt for ordinance for this project and a cross over I have planned first I saw over at the wargame command post a KPU 14.5 AA gun from force of arms however this is listed as out of stock any one got some laying around let me know.also if anyone who has an AML - 90 either from solido or force of arms how do they compare and which is recommended as the French will be the first allies in country they will need some light fire support.( which leads to the cross over planning on some African mercenary games ala the wild geese once eureka releases their new Aden ranges) thanks guys for any help new pictures soon.

Wow been a few days since last post....not much painting going on..however I have been building several kits for the allied forces and waiting for things to arrive ...well some did!so here is a group shot of my USMC including their airborne platform the venerable AH-1Z its a diecast 1/48 job that needs a repaint or weathering have'nt decided which yet and a Imprint LAV-25 there are several conversions within the recon group that I will snap pictures of  when the lights better. and now some loyalist WIP this is another T-55 with a little mud and debris now in need of pastels and pin washes the DSHK and gunner are designed to move from tank to tank if I want. In the for ground are some wargame factory survivors converted and a kreigspiel Converted RPG gunner( just added a better projectile) well as things come in I will post up group wip. Next up terrain I am in the middle of building the Musorian airport for a raid scenario using my USMC and some contractors. well thanks for looking "Out" D
