Building Iraq 2003-2005 Forces & Terrain in 28mm

[sotek486]

So I've kicked off my project to do Operation Iraqi Freedom in 28mm and have made some great progress in ordering stuff and initial assemble/priming.  I'll be starting to paint stuff soon as I settle on the colours I'll use, but I figured I would share my approach to the project for figures and terrain sources:  http://jayswargamingmadness.blogspot.com/2015/07/so-you-want-to-play-28mm-modern.html

I hope you find it useful, I've covered what I'm doing to cover USMC, Iraqi Army/Republican Guard and the Insurgents/Fedayeen fighters.

Regards,

Jay

Absolutely, your setup is inspirational!    More to come soon from me on this front

It looks like you are all set up to start painting.
Love what you have in figures and armour.
I have a lot of the same stuff.
I hope someday to get it painted.
Just too many irons in the fire.
(Maybe when I retire, in about 8 months)
I will be following your progress.

Great stuff, I was also looking at doing the conflict in 28mm but was stumped when it came to Iraqis so this really helped, cheers!

I thought Chieftain Miniatures was defunct. Are they making to order?

Website is still live but never heard back from them so I think you are correct in that they are now defunct.
