S-Models GAZ-67b

Some very nicely made vehicles from the talents of David Russell

They look roomy enough for figures if you were thinking of adding extra detail

Pictured here crossing Dave's excellent MDF bridge

In command mode.

Second Saracen

Another one finished

This one got slightly brighter paintwork, though it looks very similar to the first, which was the goal 

As with the first, no rear-mounted Bren gun

The pair, just one more will complete my first company of these. Eventually I'd like a full battalion (13) but six will do for a start; with these two completed and two others still in the cupboard

Nicely made kitsets for less than $10.

Featuring, House Escher

Part of the Warhammer 40k universe, Necromunda. This is Tracy's Gang, from House Escher, nice though the paintwork is, all of these figures have since been stripped back to bare metal. The figures are 28mm

After leaving the military we went to university, where we encountered this Games Workshop classic. We played a gang each for ages, but after leaving study we sort of forgot about it

We intend to revive this great game and build some scenery to go with it

My gang are all mutants, pictures of them later on.

Matchbox/Revell Japanese Infantry

Finished these the last night. Well sculpted figures with zero flash

Battalion and company command groups

Support platoons, x2 mmg, x1 81mm mortar

Battalion command and Recon patrol sections

Used mostly Tamiya paints on these but also Citadel Devlan Mud wash

Ready for some small Far East actions planned for later this year

Trench Gun Construction

A few snaps of Dave's progress on the rest of his trench guns

The gun barrel is from HaT

Nice attention to detail Dave.

New Things

Back from another few days with my team in Brisbane

The 'Hexagon' stuff is to go with some scenery me and Tracy are building for some 28mm science fiction games, probably Necromunda or something of that ilk

No way I'd ever pay the full retail price for one of these, the prices in the two countries I've seen them in so far are obscene. Ten bucks was alright though.

Different shop but same story, slightly dearer this one. The store owner told me these Aifix buildings are hard to sell. How long does it take a marketing genius to work out that the punters think something is too expensive? I should work for Airfix :):):)

Got this mainly for the accessories but the building is a bonus because I don't really have a lot here in Australia yet

The Sci Fi stuff I mentioned 

Needed some of this stuff too

Will make more of an effort to make some new poses to show you with these ones

Looking forward to doing the top one

WW1 staff car

Minor nations transport

Nostalgic, couldn't help myself with this one, will fit it in somewhere amongst my cold war collection

Some brighter colours for the 28mm figures

Great War Tunneling Company

Something a bit different here. This is basically your standard generic allied forces engineer company, but they can double as tunnelers if the scenario calls for it.

We played a Messines Ridge game a couple of years ago but these guys weren't included that time round

CD Over the Top doesn't really cater for underground warfare but the provision is there if you wanted to use it, the rules are similar to sewer fighting in WW2 scenarios 

All HaT figures with the obligatory picks and shovels. More top-stuff from David Russell.
