Thanks, quite like the end result too!

Regarding the files, they can be found here for free

Note that I have resized the parts and also needed to do some manual cutting and glueing but the result is decent.

You can also find other bridges on Thingiverse for free along with all other cool stuff.

Have been scratchbuilding a small African village from mostly cartonboard, filler and other household items. Looking to be as frugal as possible working with easily available materials and tools. Has a bit of an oriental look so might also be used for other settings, quite happy but dreading the painting phase. What  do you think of these?

Just painted up some African huts if it helps ?

So thanks to Steve, I have been able to source SLR rifles and managed to start work on some Belgian paratroopers. Bodies from Warlord Games British Paratroopers and some other parts from different plastic sets. Quite happy with the result.

They look excellent, I had a similar plan to make some Simbas (the ones from the Wild Geese film) using the same bits. Thanks, now I know it'll work.

Great stuff, dead easy innit!?
I've already done a few Simbas, British Para bodies, Dak field caps, and Colonel Bill's SLRs.

They look great.  Where did you get the SLRs?

[traveller]

This is a great project 

Where did I put my converted Swedish UN troops...

[Grumpy Gnome]

Looking good mate!

I wonder if our man second from the bottom has heard the old joke about why a Claymore mine has four legs?

FWIW, that's photoshopped.  Here's the original: https://www.wired.com/2007/04/mursi-tribeswom/

Very nice Belgian paras. I was in the Brussels Military Museum last week where they have a display on the "Para Commandos". Good luck painting the camouflage. Quite a distinct palette of colours.
