Those Elhiem models sure scrub up nicely, and that APC ain't shabby either  ;)

Very nice.

I was also going to compliment you on you wargaming table, but then I realised it might be a trampoline!

I quite like those.  Very believable, future soldiers.

Love the infantry.  Like the APC - I would love the APC if you told me there were exits/entrances other than just the hatches (Can't see the back of the vehicle.)

Gracias,

There's another Matchbox one that may be of use - MBX Heroic rescue

I have the turbo racer and plan to use it as a civilian SF vehicle (I game 28mm, so it's a bit of a tight fit). The one above is too small for 28mm, but looks like it could be a good patrol vehicle for 20mm
