Booze, Oil and Fast Food companies also seem apt.

And finished another bit. Sign should work for any airport/harbour/city/big building. Scrap plastic, foam and wooden coffee stirrers were used as well as lasercut letters. Graffiti inspired by a the first piece done by the daughter from a friend.

" A splendid gift from the friendly nation of Iraq to the nationd of Wadiya, to mark everlasting friendship"

A former Iraqi patrolboat (former Russian) has been donated to our glorious Navy to serve as a deterrent to the fiendish rebels. It's not the newest, or fastest, but comes with a extra bucket.

A toy boat donated to me by a friend many a year ago and which fits 15mm perfectly, now finally ready to hit the table as.....something.

Painted up for the Summer Water Build 2023 that ran from June 21st till Sept 30th. (yes, I'm finishing it exactly on the deadline, sue me). Copied the paintscheme off of some Iraqi Minelayers from after the war, and yes, they really looked as shit as this, see attatched picture.

That boat looks ideal...although it looks like it might capsize if the gunner fires at anything off to the side  :D
