Modern wars in 1/35- project log

[AKULA]

Great work on the airborne figures.

1/35 vehicles can really look like an imposing piece of terrain on the tabletop - great finds

Thank you! I am glad that I was finally able to eliminate my Afghanistan Soviet pile of shame

The vehicles will also serve as civilian/third party vehicles, this is why I like to make drivers into them. I might even use them in Gaslands.

A gun truck for the US forces.

Very nicely done, particularly like the rusted armour panels.

That gun truck looks great.  Ya gotta love those 5-tons...

[Freddy]

Thank you, guys! It is an Italeri model.

Very nicely done, particularly like the rusted armour panels.

I basecoated them black, then painted the most of it brown, then added more and more redish brown paint by hitting it with the brush repeatedly. In the end I lightly drybrushed it with a darker shade of metal.

Super looking truck!

Love the gun truck - a serious piece of kit in that scale

[Freddy]

Thank you for your kind comments! I plan to add some baggage and at least 2 additional crew members to it (manning the machine guns), but this is how it came with the kit, I only added the driver. There is a little cheat in this too as the gun truck era in Iraq (the early 2000s) was a little bit after the DBDU uniforms were out of use, they already used DCU and MARPAT uniforms back then.

Some objective markers, as some battles are not fought for honest goals.

Happy Easter

After the rabbits, I have some pheasants too (my sculpts again).




...and I also made some more hunters.



Both of them my sculpts originally. One from the gangster shown in my Cthulhu thread (pg3):

, the other one a redneck guy I already painted 3 of:

Nice sculpts. Curious for a Hungarian that you seem to have modelled one as a very good likeness of Julius von Haynau.

[CapnJim]

Very interesting.  Really like the chap smoking the cigar!
