Nice work there, Ash.  Well done!  I really like the Cessna...

Thanks Ash. I'm looking for some various 1/72 models (OV-10 Bronco, A-1 Skyraider) that might have massive payload of accessories to see if I can kit mine out. Yours definitely look the part.

Not looked in here for a bit, thanks for all the kind words gents.

@ CPT Shanks: Another option for ordanance. Italeri used to ( may well still) sell a box of 'USA/NATO AIRCRAFT WEAPONS' in 1/72.
Would have all the shapes of bomb and rocket pods needed to represent the under-wing load out.

Those are lovely additions. Fond memories of having lived in Southern Africa.

Fantastic work with the Cessna mate, almost as good as the Forgeworld Arvus you painted for me! 😉

Thanks David. Had good fun painting 40k stuff, that said I don't miss it. Repainting all my old Guard blokes in Multicam was the end for me, I think that's when I got into the 20mm Bush Wars stuff.
I still have one of the Arvus (still have all my old 40K stuff, sitting in boxes in storage).



Somewhat off topic, but just to see if it would fit, I shoehorned a 40K AFV into a piece of terrain I made for the 28mm 'Nam stuff, sort of looked ok.

Yup…good times but never going back myself either……my Drogans are all boxed up, and at some point I must sell them I suppose.  My arvus is nicely packed up too.  Could use it for other generic sci fi though, so may hold on to that.

I haven't played a game of 40k since 4th ed, but I've got friends that remained faithful. Up until the last two or three years that is. Most of them seemed to see another system they liked the look of (Mostly Infinity or Bolt Action) and then branched out from there. I think the only 40k I've still got are a handful of Plague Walkers and some Traitor Guard for an INQ28 idea that never got off the ground.

I still collect and play Titanicus though. Epic Armageddon has been a constant for me over the last 20 years, so the new titan love from GW grabbed my attention.The game has enough tactical challenge and resource management to keep me engaged.

Picked up the RSF search team / engineers, from Under Fire Miniatures. Not tried painting the camo in 20mm for a while. Never painted a dog before.

Been going through all my figure cases and taking group shots.

Here's the first of the 20mm Rhodesian stuff.
