Askari - several years in the making

[CapnJim]

Ooh!  I really like that gunboat.

The battle reports were great too.  I imagine, however, that the animal-lovers among us might be a bit put off by all the elephants/hippos that were harmed in the making of this production...

No animals were harmed in the making of this AAR 
Everyone was too busy running away.

New kit has just arrived.
I’d been looking longingly at WW1 east Africa vehicles that are 3d printed by David Michael Freemantle.
He’s based in Australia and I’m based in the UK.
I haven’t seen anyone in the UK printing his vehicles, so I got in contact with him.
He owns and prints his own designs.
He has some fantastic kit for this period, and it’s not too pricey.
I picked out 3 different trucks and 2 of the aircraft that were used in East Africa during WW1.




I guess I’ll have to paint them now

Hey - they look good.  be nice to see them painted...

I was reminded of Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines

Wow, these flyers and trucks look interesting. Hope to see them painted soon. 👍

Nice looking Safari Park with a some model soldiers to add to the ambience. Good looking game.

A very lovely table.
A very interesting period.
Love all your animals.
Adds lots to the table.

flatpack, do you have a link to Mr. Freemantle's site - if he has one?  I'm doing GEA in 15 mm and would love to see if he has anything in that scale or find out if he is willing to reduce to appropriate size?  My planes are period appropriate but not theater specific. Thank you.
