Nice!

Who makes the VR-ETT? I could really do with one of those in 1/56.

Good looking stuff in this thread.

But, tell us.  Do you do anything besides build and paint minis?  Your output is incredible!   

It’s my job and hobby, so not to much else.

I’ll have to check, my friend provided that file.

 Hi guys

 Hi guys

Here is stage 4 of the Portuguese project, the infantry, mine rollers and quad .50 call (working on 3D printed crews for this now) finished, the figs in greens are a mix of PSP and OPVDCA, the lizard camo are Portuguese army, the figs are mostly Peter Pig, with a few 3D printed, I needed to do a few conversions, the machine gunners needed to receive M3 machine guns, I used MG42s, a few cut from WWII Germans, the rest 3D printed, and the 37mm roket launchers, I just cut away the ROG and added a length of plastic rod which I flattened on the end slightly with heat.

 Hi guys

Stage 6 Portuguese African colonial wars project, I will be showing the various UN factions, starting with the Irish, they are equipped with a Ford Mk VI AC, the figs are 3D printed conversions of Elhiems Israelis, I have done head swaps, made a Carl Gustav and changed some poses. At some stage I’ll be printing some in 1/72 for my own Central African bush wars project

Great stuff, that armoured car looks like it should be rolling around 50 years earlier!

Hi guys

Part 7 of the Portuguese project, Belgian paratroopers, these are 3D printed converted conversion of Elhiems Cold War British paratroopers, I added a Vigneron SMG to the officer, removed the helmets that were placed on their hips, and created a blindicide cal 83mm, I’ll be sharing the Swedes next.

Looks great! How big of games do you envision? And did you say what rules you'll be using...?
