Thanks for the recipe Ash the vehicles are very very effective. Just about to order a copy of Bush Wars even though I don't play FoF..this thread is to blame!

Thanks for sharing, I joined the Yahoo group to see more. This is possibly addictive!

Tell me about it, I started by just looking for any minis with an FN to have a go at doing the 'Wild Geese'..!  Still not done them

Just watched Blood Diamond...now working on a reading list for African conflicts, I think it was a pic of those Scorpian vehicles what tipped the balance....

If you're interested in modern african wars wargaming, you can also take a look on b'maso source book from Too fat lardies, plenty of infos, scenarios etc... Even if it's made for TFL games (wich I don't play), I bought the book still find it interesting, personaly.

32 Batt guys are superb, but I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing what you do with the SADF! :-*

The recoilless gun mounted on a jeep is amazing and looks just like the photo...the stuff you are producing is fantastic inspiration!

Thanks guys, chopping the back end and the seat out of the jeep was a bugger of a job, still need to find some little elevator wheel for the RCL

Done with the first squad in 'browns':

First go at casting; a lot quicker than making one offs with sticks and filler...
