Maroubra Popular Liberation Front: 28mm Africa
« on: January 11, 2012, 07:55:25 AM »
I wasn't going to do this; honestly.

But when I was confronted by the Eureka Zanla range at MOAB this year I couldn't, and didn't resist. Below are the painted results of having bought two of the "we don't want to be vertically enveloped" deals.

This is the first time I've seen any of these painted up and a good job you've made of them too, they really look the part, well done!  :)

That´s a great force, full of character. And I like your flexible basing-system, I should copy it I think!

Very nicely done and I too plan on stealing your basing idea.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

And now onto the allies of the Maroubran Popular Front, the ever present Cubans. Why the Cubans are in Africa is a mystery, to historians, to academics, to Marounbrans, to the Cubans... everybody.

These figures are from the Mongrel Soviet range (via newline design's Sean Pereira). They go perfectly with the Eureka stuff, and I am so happy with them I have ordered some more.

First up, a sniper.

The Cubans are only here to advise you know.
