Pretty good job on that "chocolate chip" pattern on those US fellas...

Pretty good job on that "chocolate chip" pattern on those US fellas...

Thanks! It is mostly done with Tamiya colours, I found their paint scheme the best:
-XF-59 Desert Yellow base
-XF-52 Flat Earth for the basic patches
-XF-64 Red Brown patch under each basic patch
-XF-57 Buff patch over each basic patch
-next to each patch groups of 3 white dots
-next to each white dot a black half circle
-wait for complete drying
-dark brown artist oil into the deep/undercut areas
-a very little white artist oil for the "high" areas

Soviets from the Soviet-Afghan war. The one with the SVD is from Zvezda, the one on the right from Dragon, the rest from ICM.

I made this guy for the PMC faction, some close combat muscle for those intimate occasions where an .50 Barrett rifle just does not cut.

Wow. All I can say is WoW.

At Hot Lead (Stratford, Ontario) last year a guy was running a 1/35 (54mm) game. WWII IIRC in a small town. Took up a lot of space but what I saw looked great. I didn't look too closely as I do not need another distraction.

As for your shaman guy he would work perfectly if you use Hell and Uncivil Disorder rules. Cornered Wolf is a good set as well.

Thanks!
Always nice to hear about like minded 1/35 gamers, sadly Ontario is a bit far from here Also thank you for the suggestion of that ruleset, I will surely check it out, as you can see, a huge part of my collection is fit for that kind of game.

Really like those Soviet blokes.

A shotgun and an axe?  He must be your breacher...he should be able to open just about any door...

Any door and any head I really find the idea of "tactical tomahawk" weird. People always try to explain instead of admitting that they only want it for the sake of coolness. In this case I found it fitting the character

Thank you! The ICM Afhgan war Soviet sets are my favourite figure range from this era.

Fairly sure I used to work with that bloke. He retired a few years back. Oddly enough his name was Igor. 

Very nice work.

Thanks!
Since the pic he got a name: Tulok. The Hungarian word for "bullock", with some undertone for dumb aggression.

A great looking project Freddy - 1/35 has so many possibilities

I have played a couple games of H&UD and still trying to both "get my head around it", as like many home produced it seems to be missing parts and more of a collection of good ideas, and "need to bring it to the table more after doing something to it" as in fixing or patching the seemingly missing bits to make a consistent set of rules. Nordic Weasel games are similar with whole sections never addressed or big wtf moments. Good stuff in there but...

I usually do not really care about these, since I use most of these systems as a collection of ideas (to buff my own ruleset) rather than a complete ruleset anyways.

Thanks! It does indeed. I really helps to have a faction where these less conventional ideas fit in.

A couple more US soldiers of various manufacturers. I can paint DBDU uniform with closed eyes at this point.
