Finally finished Brit Paras in Tunisia

 Hi guys

The Brit paras in Tunisia are finally finished, well the painting anyway, I might add some arid shrubbery to the bases, I’m pretty happy with the results, it’s alway good to get a project finished no matter how small it is, here I have a platoon of 3 x 10 man squads, each with a Bren and 2 inch mortar team, and a Vickers HMG, 3 inch mortar team, spare Bren team, flamethrower, and a piat team in support, at some point I’ll add an Artillery FO, sniper, engineer team and a 6pdr, but for now I need to decide if I’m going to resume work on the 21st PD, my Hungarians, my LWFD, or start my Soviet naval marines or assault pioneer projects.

 Hi guys

These Tunisia Brit paras are about 60% done, the base colours are down, now to do the highlights, they are coming together nicely. Also printed some Japanese for my Pacific project. 

















Part 1, 15mm Portuguese African colonial wars project

 Hi guys 

A friend has tasked me with fulfilling a large, long planned15mm AK47 Portuguese African colonial wars project, it includes 5 factions and requires me 3D print the vehicles and some of the infantry, some of which I needed to design/convert/improve in CAD, as I finish each part I will do a post.

Here I have a Portuguese Alouette III helicopter and 2 Berliet GBC trucks, the heli is a 3D print I bought from David Michael Freemantle off the Rhodesian bush wars models FB page, I CAD design the Berliet trucks (STL is available at my wargaming3D shop) these trucks were tough, and were used at the head of conveys to detonate mines, hence the removal of the windscreen and the sandbag placement to better protect the crew, I made the sandbags with putty.
