People and terrain for Afghanistan (update Motorbikes 2018-07-23, p.7)

This is great. I usually skip the Moderns board, it's not my thing, but this is great. I to have had my eyes on those Eureka civvies for a while.

A great thing about the Afghanistan civilian pack is that, except for the chap with cell phone, they are a bit timeless so could be used for earlier periods.  And even converting the cell phone user would not be so much of a much!

I've added a mule cart:

Cart is a new (upcoming?) release from Eureka.  Slightly modified, as the driver is riding along rather than the one provided, and I've added a few tassels and pompoms to the mule.

No cargo yet, but I am considering a low-tech technical

And yet I'm thinking of extending the flat bed I have so it can hold exactly the same thing.

Where is your cart driver from, please?

The driver is from Eureka from the Afghan guerrilla casualty set

He looked relaxed enough to be driving the cart

Damn, I didn't look at them when I visited his shop in Feb.

Finished a nice little hand cart.  Originally sold as the goat cart, I just felt it worked out better this way:

That's a nice little conversion.

[Will Bailie]

Thanks!  Not so much of a conversion, as the bloke's arms were already right where they needed to be, so I just glued the cart in place.

Great cartage. 

[Hammers]

Great stuff!

[marianas_gamer]

That really works!

After some time away, I finally have an update!  http://willstoysoldiers.blogspot.ca/2016/06/back-to-afghanistan.html

Family is out of town, so i had room to lay out the toys I've assembled to date.  I think the project is starting to get close to being something, but I see that I'll need to add some more terrain.  Suggestions welcome!



Got some snipers


LMGs


A (very) few casualties:


Plus more on the civilian side, with a couple of goat herders and their charges.  These guys are probably way too clean, considering the work they do...


And finally, a group shots of the insurgents

Nice to see the update, that is a fine looking village and inhabitants. Those Eureka figures have some great character, I picked some up on my last trip to Melbourne.
