Splod's 6mm Arab-Israeli Project

[Pan Marek]

SPLOD-  For 20mm figs, I use plastic 1/72.  Years ago, I found British figs marked "WWII".  But while in battle dress, they are all armed with FNs.  They have the late war helmet, and the poses are just like the old Herald "modern" (ie: 1958)  British 1/32 infantry.  So, kinda stiff.  I painted them like Israelis, and they were OK.
Back then, I used Airfix British paras for the Egyptians, largely due to their generic nature.  Again, look OK on the table top.
I modified some of both sides for bazookas and RPGs.

Now, I'm working on replacing these with 1/72 plastic choice selections from Italeri's NATO and Warsaw Pact boxes.  Also,
IMEX makes Korean War NK infantry, but about half are armed with AKs!, plus, you get Soviet mortars.  Its all a bit of a project, which I keep putting down.

SJWi-  Thanks.  I too dislike a table covered with markers.  I've been toying with the idea of having all vehicles and bases have
a bit of piano wire (on tanks, it can be the radio antennae).  When thin, such is not very noticeable.  Then, use it to put cheap
children's beads on the wire for "hits".   You can get the beads on Amazon in tan, brown or green, so as not to be glaring on the table.
