The castings look great. Very useful skill to have!

Cheers chaps. Slightly off at a tangent; Just finished this stick with the addition of the kneeling bloke, all converted from spare minis. Borneo British. .

Look great! Who are you going to use for the Indonesian rebels and are you goingto do Dutch?.

When it comes to bringing reality to mini life your painting and modelling has to be some of the best on LAF - simply fantastic.

@ juergen: These guys were just a bit of fun, I had enough heads with bush hats and the PATU stick (Under Fire) has a rather nice LMG...

@Gologotha: Thank you very much, considering the quality of work on LAF that's a huge compliament. I'm glad you like them, I've had a few comments about some of the conversions so I'm going to take some comparison shots of the minis I have multiples of.

Here's that oil drum emplacement. Jeep is just about finished, need to do lights etc:

The base could just about work as a rather cramped artillery emplacement:

Cheers Juergen.
Dug this out of the box of unmade kits, not looking forward to doing the tracks:

I hate tracks ,I once melted them together w/ a match.Good Luck.

For the tracks especially thin ones like the PT-76 would have try using a mini stapler with the smallest sized staples. These also staple flat unlike regular sized ones and when painted and a little dirt added disappear well and form a very secure bond.

That is if the kit has the soft rubber like track many kits now come with hard plastic track in pieces which is more work but looks better.

The staple idea is very clever ! I never thought about this for the few soft tracks kits I built in the past. Hopefully, now the brands make "easy kits" with hard, integrated tracks, at least for the most popular models.

This lovely little tank came with the track parts that go around the drive wheels in lots of little separate links. Made of a weird plastic that likes to snap on sight of a set of clippers, also liberally festooned with flash....
Anyway, got them on, thank you gap filling glue, will end up hiding under a suitably thick layers of mud. Also started a couple of T-54/5 another truck and a BTR-60PB.

Tracks on and primer:

Another T-55, (I've redone the tie down points on the turret):

Another BTR-60PB:
