28mm Modern Afghans
« on: November 13, 2012, 05:21:36 PM »
I just finished up at batch of Modern Afghans (or Burkadurkastanis…)


Afghans from Eureka Miniatures.


One team


Another team


Command or Forward Observers and a Stinger missile launcher.


I think these were supposed to be Indian children (also from Eureka) but I was hoping to pass them off as generic Central Asian kids…


More civilians from Eureka.

I also have a few other Afghans from Devil Dog Designs and a Stinger team from Mongrel Miniatures that I painted up some time ago – though a few of the DDD figures have had a partial repaint and their bases jazzed up more recently. Here are a few comparison pics:

Completely awesome a very nice collection, though I will say those civilians in the burkas remind me of salt and pepper holders for some reason :)

Nice work, I am still waiting to paint mine, I'm just not sure what to do with mine, make them real world style or modify them to a more colourful set up for fictional Alien hunting on futuristic desert worlds.

I like your paintstyle. Absolute simple, but with great charisma

A truly lovely paintjob. Good style. If you are in need of a digital collection of Afghan or Burkadurkastan rugs, sent my a p-message.

Like those a great deal... I've got most of those Eureka figures, but hadn't seen the children. You've done them proud.
