28mm African Wars Portuguese

[Super Mosca]

Thanks very much for the welcome and feedback gentlemen.

At this stage I can say that I will be adding SKS and Ppsh41 armed guerillas for the insurgents, but am still deciding which of the many options to pursue for the Portuguese.

A guerilla or two with Mauser rifles and other odd antiques would be nice too. 

I suppose logically, for the Portuguese, it might be wise to start from the bottom up, i.e. start with the most common weapons. So to add to what you've already done, an MG3, a rifle-grenadier and a guy with an M20 Bazooka (or even an RPG for the late part of the war). Other than that, more G-3s, guys with AR-10s as an alternative for Paras, etc, etc.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd be looking to create a 25 man unit of caçadores, with as few duplications as possible in it initially (riflemen excepted). Obviously with more options I'd consider making up additional types; Paras, Fuzileiros, GE etc.

That regardless, it's a great range and I'm looking forwards to additions (and of course them hitting Fighting 15's online shop  )

Here are some new African guerillas that I've just completed. 28mm, as usual.

Guerillas with PPSh-41 SMG.


Plus some SKS armed guerillas.

Great looking figures

Now those really are something else! 
I don't game Africa, but they will certainly find a place in Caribbean imagi-nation.

Wow, those are great!

I don't play Africa either, but might just have to start!

Those are some spiffy rebels.

Lovely! Thanks for sharing Kosta. Do know if Nic is likely to cast them up prior to Christmas? If so I'll pop over and buy myself a large Christmas present.

Bit of conversion to the SKS to make a Czech vz52 and I now have all I need for Cuban militias for the Bay of Pigs (well short of the latifundistas and CIA lackeys that is). Happy days!

[Arlequín]

Those are excellent! 

[Super Mosca]

Glad you guys like 'em  
I'm planning to add a few more poses with a couple of different weapons before their official release.

Carlos, to answer your question yes these have been cast up and Nic should have some pre-production castings at Eureka.

... sounding a bit greedy here 

but... are weapons crews maybe in the offing too? 

[carlos marighela]

Cheers mate, I'll go fatten your bank balance a little then.

Mausers and a SA-7 Manpad would be nice

These are great figures, Kosta. I got these today in my latest parcel from Nic when I got home from holidays. Thanks for your excellent work
