Thanks, AKULA.  They are nifty little fellas.

Once I have them see the elephant the first time this Friday, I'll post an illustrated AAR, but probably up on the Pulp board.  The scenario will be a variation of my "Prisoner Swap Gone bad" thread up there...

Great job on them, Jim.  :o And yes, those would go good with quite a few periods and scenarios...

Ash has inspired me to take pics of my various collections, and post them in my various threads here on the LAF.  My Vietnam War stuff is already up on my Vietnam thread.  Here, I'll document my 'Modern" stuff.  I'm starting with my 28mm minis.

First up are my US troops and MPCs.  The US troops (ostensibly Marine Recon boys) are mostly Eureka, with a few Empress thrown in for good measure.  The PMCs are all Spectre.

And here are my Soviets/Russians.  (Edit:  They are almost all Tiny Terrain figures.  The dismounted BTR crew are Mongrel Miniatures, and the dismounted tank crew are Empress.)  The BTRs and the T55 are diecasts I got on eBay.

Here are my various military trucks.  All are various diecast, except for the tan 3-ton trucks.  They are plastic toys I dolled up.  The 2nd shot has a couple figures in in to show scale...

Also, here are some miscellaneous troops my Wargaming buddie Ted gave me after he cleaned out his wargame basement.  Not sure who made them, and they came painted as you see them.  They will likely be used for various generic troops or bad guys....

And here are my African troops.  They are a mix of Eureka and MoFo chaps.  (Edit: The dismounted armored car crews are Mongrel Miniatures.) The General is a Spectre figure.  The vehicles are Solido diecasts (the Panhard needs to be weathered and the gun tube needs to be fixed at a level elevation as it's quite loose...).

I still have to post pics of my guerillas/rebels, armed civilians, law enforcement, unarmed civilians, and civilian vehicles.  They should be up within the next few days.  Then it's on to my WW2 stuff...

Very nice indeed!
I ordered one of those BTR's from China to see if the scale was right, but couldn't find any more as they were sold out. :( Should've ordered 3.

Thanks, chaps!  More pics to follow soon!

Yep.  I learned a long time ago to buy stuff I want when I see it.  Got burned one too many times going back to find out that what I wanted was gone....That's why I did order 3 of them... ;)

Thanks, Mike!

But wait - there's more!  Now, for the rest of my 28mm moderns...

Next up is what I call my "Eastern European Guerillas/Rebels".  The figs are really Chechens, mostly Tiny Terrain, with some Empress in there as well.  I've only used them as actual Chechens once.  The rest of their fights have seen them as generic Eastern Europe Guerillas or Rebels, hence their name...

The 2 pick-ups are Mantic's The Walking Dead trucks...
