Cold War/Pulp (1982-88) style Bystanders for G.I. Joe games (two bystanders)

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

I'm starting to paint some Cold War (1982-88) bystanders/leagues for my Pulp Alley games using G.I. Joes miniatures.
Then I have opened a topic where I will post them.
I begin with a group of generic Cold War central american Guerrillas, maybe from "Sierra Gordo" a fictional country from the gi joe marvel comics.
I was ispired by guatemala and el salvador guerrillas, the miniatures are from Assault Group, Copplestone Casting and Hasslefree.



Here the link to my G.I. Joe project: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=79054.0

Interesting start.

I would suggest having a look at the Gringo's NVA.

[commissarmoody]

Yeah they are nice and tall.

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Thanks. I considered the NVA from Gringo40s, maybe I will take them for some other central america faction. I've other 6-7 TAG miniatures that I will paint as guerrillas but first I will paint a small squad of "Sierra Gordo" military junta soldiers (8 models), with miniatures and paint scheme ispired by the Guatemala Soldiers. I've commissioned a 3d printed M8 Greyhound that I will paint with a typical guatemala camouflage paint scheme and will be the vehicle of "Sierra Gorda" soldiers. Here a picture of the 3d printed model, scale 1/56.

Those are also some cool ideas

[Ultravanillasmurf]

I agree with Commissar Moody about the interesting ideas.

I have to ask, what was wrong wit the existing 1/56 scale Greyhounds?

Nothing wrong, the 3d print was just cheaper and I can have it from a local friend

An officer for the "Sierra Gordo" Military Junta. It will lead a group of soldiers against the Guerrillas.
The paint scheme is ispired by Cold War Guatemala soldiers/officers.

[commissarmoody]

Nice!

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

The command group of the "Sierra Gordo" Military Junta, an officer and two militia.
The militia are ispired by guatemala PAC.

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

I painted the last 5 soldiers of the "Sierra Gordo" Military Junta. Here the full squad.

I painted my 3d printed M8 Greyhound for my "Sierra Gordo" Soldiers and Militia. The paint scheme is ispired by the Guatemala Greyhound.

[commissarmoody]

Nice!

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Yes, very nice.

Very much in style with the subject matter. The bright colours really evoke that certain 1980s' toys' flair.
