Thanks Guys!

Here's a few more...



I have a couple more teams to do - then I got to get these guys into ACTION!

Anyone happen to know where I could get some vehicles for these guys?

I am not a quack!  I'm a mad scientist.  There IS a difference!

What you need is at,
"http://www.gaso-line.eu/gaso-line.htm"

Occasionally on e-bay you will find a "Solido" VAB ready to convert, but the Gaso guys are really good.

Your camo looks really nice, if a little to crisp.  Have a browse on YouTube, most of the time the kit looks a little more lived in.

So what rules are you gong to use?  We have been using "Force on Force" works really well.

As for the VABs, the youtube videos quite often have them with what look like sheets draped over them, not sure what this is about.

I just started playing Force on Force on force myself. It's looking very promising!

Huh... I have not seen any youtube videos (I will have to go look). Is it a camouflage thing? Or maybe, if they're light coloured sheets, an attempt to reflect the heat of the sun to keep it from getting frightfully hot inside...?

Lovely Figures and paint job. Little bit too modern for my mindset at the moment tho I'll get there :D, I'm tempted with Kolwezi etc, Anybody know of figures for that sort of era?
Force on Force I must admit has opened up loads of new avenues for me and the various supplements make life very easy to get some good games going without too much prep for someone like myself with very little time to game never mind organise!1
