Nice job on those BMDs.  Sure look the business....

A full company after contact...

And as for that guy with the mine bling, what happens if he takes a round in one of those mines? :o
A modern VDV company isn't that large at all. They are not really set up to absorb cassalties. Do the mission or die trying.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Soviet era paratroopers (circa 1980.) 28mm released.

These chaps are wearing jump helmets and a few RPG18's have been added and a chap carrying land mines.

Very nice but I’m still not buying the land mine thing. It’s a giant piss-take. In reality that bloke is a human beat box, I can see ghetto blaster speakers It’s a Soviet rap posse isn’t it? :D
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Next up;

Empress Miniatures 28mm BAOR Recce unit. This is a personal unit although created using the vehicle crew with the crap hat heads and the short Land Rover from the Empress range.

Figures painted by Jon Atter and vehicle by me.

The unit represents nothing specific but can act as a recce / artillery spotter unit for use in 1980ish games. Pretty versatile in its use and the team can park up, debus and go on foot if needs be. Honourable Artillery Company TA unit kinda fits the bill as inspiration. 

Cheers, Paul

Hmmm not sure how you are reading my mind but I spent some time last week working out what I needed to convert a LWB landy model into an SAS Pinky, albeit in green and black not pink.

Like what you’ve done there yours and a HAC stay behinf team is a brill idea!

Cheers for that.

Not found piccies of SAS Landy's in Europe (Belgium ones yes.) but they would have used them and as a lot of this is what if and recent showings of the lack of Soviet ability suggest that any conflict would have gone on longer that the perceived few days/ weeks so lots of opportunity for what ifs.

I have another section sized TA recce unit now finished based upon the  Sharpshooters, Kent & County of London. There are a couple of mods that I may yet do to the vehicle but I will post next week when complete.  ;)
