Quote from: "matakishi"
Thanks for the heads up on North Star Maichus, unfortunately I've already bought all the figures that I need  :(

The film is Too late the Hero and I ordered it today  :)

No more planes for me, Smer kits is already saved as a search on Ebay and I'll keep watching just in case something really wonderful comes along, (I was getting a bi-plane for Dick Dastardly).


Yeah it is. I think the American actor(can't remember his name now) played Spiderman's Uncle as well as the President of the US of A in Escape from L.A.

Hang on i think i remember...is it Cliff Robertson or something similar? :?:

I just hate how you paint up a platoon in the time it takes me to consider whether or not to start on those 4-5 figures I've selected to paint next, before deciding there isn't enough time to get very far... :cry:

This being said, it all looks lovely. :love:

The 14th Army and Chindits are all based and varnished.



I've added some pictures of all of them to the bottom of the page here:
http://www.matakishi.com/paintingburmabritish.htm

I have three Japanese platoons done which will be based over the next couple of days. I'll post pics once they're done.

I've started painting the last of the Japanese, the support elements; which leaves the Gurkha's, Sikhs and some British stretcher bearers to do. School holidays have begun so these shouldn't take too long.

I also painted up my supply markers.



Busy, busy, busy... :)

The first of the Japanese are done. Three infantry platoons, just the Company HQ and support weapons to do.

Excellent stuff Matakishi!! I was wondering what had happened to this project and was afraid you had stopped  :wink:
Where did you get all the stuff you used for the supply markers from?

I was thinking things were quiet on the Matakishi front. I should have guessed you were quietly beavering away on more stuff :lol:

I managed to varnish the last of my Japanese today which officially finishes my Burma project. There's some more to add but I have two fighting forces assembled now so it's time for some games with them before the rest are done.

I painted my elephants too :)



Japanese Engineers:



Japanese Company Commander and support weapons:



Extra dug-in machine guns for defending:



Everything else is here:
http://www.matakishi.com/wwiiburma.htm

I have Australians, natives, Gurkhas and Sikhs to add as well as some vehicles and British support weapons. I've also lined up a load of stretcher parties for a scenario.

It's time for a change now though and my Somalis and modern US Marines are on their way...

Looking real good Matakishi!

Your site is, as always, an excellent source of inspiration! Can't wait to see what you come up with in regards to the Somalis and US Marines!

Cheers!
