Is that a Mills bomb in that guy's pocket or is he very pleased to see you?

He does look quite pleased with something...

Here are my old mongrel Congo 5 commando blokes:

Cheers Juergen.

@ Nick: These are very well sculpted minis, the faces in particular have bags of character, you know you want some...

Finally got around to finishing off the ZIPRA or FAPLA

Superb job as usual,do you get a chance to game much?The problem in our group is I am only painting bushwars,although I was just given 70 painted 20mm Islamists,sothat helps. But I do have a full drawer of 28mm..sigh..Really like the gun emplacement.

Thanks for all the comments chaps.

Got a 28mm modern german from Under Fire; going to try to convert him to a Portuguese soldier  to go with my Eureka figures:

It's not much of a conversion really, I just took off the Bundeswehr belt kit and covered the damage with a couple of water-bottles and some pouches. This mini is a tad bigger than the Eureka Portuguese figures but it makes sense to give the big guy the big gun...
