The crew are from Brooks Miniatures, designed for the S&S vehicles. You have to order them separate. Glen closed his company but Old Glory UK have them now. I got a crew from S&S for the Jackal but it wasn't very good (I hated it, separate arms, sitting top gunner who didn't fit the hole, blech) so I got another Brooks one.

I've finished both WMIKs and the snatch,Jackal tomorrow (and probably the tanks). I'm going to base the vehicles because I don't like having kits touching the table. People have a tendency to try and roll them along which removes the wheels :( so it'll be a short while before any finished pics are up. I should manage a final WIP with everything painted and arrayed though. Hopefully before I go back to work on Thursday then I'll have completed three projects over the summer break which will be a first :)

Still WIPs, but...
This is what I pictured when I decided to paint modern British. This is EXACTLY what I wanted on my table. It's not often it works out like that so I'm a happy bunny.

Ha! You're not fooling anyone, old bean. Inside, you're seething with disgust at that bloody awful outcome. You should let it out and send them to me ASAP to get them out of your sight.

Awesome work Paul… except that you glued all the drivers on the wrong side of the vehicles ;)

Ah, those colonials with their strange opinions on which road side is the right one (it's the left... naturally).
