Working on the last batch of tribal warriors and based some civilians that I had laying around. Waiting on the arrival of the 3D printed recoilless rifles, mortars and some goats. Thinking about finding a cheap way to create 1960īs mercenaries and paratroopers but canīt find cheap FAL or SLR rifles and thatīs the only obstacle for now as the weapons are quite iconic.

Finished all of the tribal insurgents or freedom fighters, just need to finish the bases and matt varnish them. Ecclectic mix of tribal spearmen, bowmen and more modern armed rebels. Managed to paint these 47 miniatures in a couple of months not too bad. Next might be the local military forces if plans work out.

Thanks for the nice comments, next will be some scenery and hopefully a small national army equipped with WWII and post-war allied weapons.

Recently purchased a rather large pile of Bolt Action sprues and build some Indian Peacekeepers, made by matching US Infantry with British Eight Army parts. So mostly US uniforms and British weapons, backed up with an armoured car.

That photo of the bloke firing a .50 off the back of a jeep, whilst smoking a pipe, with another bloke in the front firing a GPMG, is one of the coolest allyest pictures I've ever seen :)
