Please tell me this isn't the death of your 20mm project?

Or if it is, can I have all your stuff?

When is a project ever really finished...

I suppose I could do with some more Zanla type CTs, but aside from that I have covered most of the bases: My initial FireForce has grown to include a platoon of RAR, a mobile column of Selous Scouts, a troop of RLI & some RhSAS + helicopters, planes & vehicles, even did some PATU & IntAf. I have started on a board, nothing too big (thinking where to store it) which will proceed at a glacial pace until I have all the bits. The SADF is a platton of 32 batt, a few PUMA loads of Parabats + vehicles. A load of FAPLA/Cubans, the odd Russian + tanks, APCs and aircraft. I might try a unit of UNITA, but would involve a lot of chopping and the WeeFriends range (great source of conversion bits) seems to have gone. If something new gets released I'll probably succumb to temptation, but until then...

I do have quite a lot of spare minis that I will probably never use; a load of unpainted Enfilade Portuguese & some Elhiem Isrealis that I painted up as SADF. They go together pretty well size wise, just a good head smaller than the Under Fire range that was my preferred choice. That said the latest releases from UFM are getting a tad bigger than the earlier ones, placing an RLI mini next to an SADF looks like a boy scout next to a full grown prop forward.

They look ace again!
If I wouldn’t be happy with my own colour scheme I’d copy yours

Keep’em coming!

Cheers guys.
So far I'm happy with most of the colours, even getting more eyes that look like eyes now.
Not sure the butt packs are the right colour yet, might try giving them a wash of some sort of olive drab colour.
