All,

As I've mentioned previously, I've been working on knocking out troops and equipment, with a bit of painting, some putting an actual scale model together, and a whole lot of prying 10mm guys off pennies, gluing them to bigger bases, then flocking them.



I re-did a bunch of Warsaw Pact troops (pictured), as well as Argentinians, French Foreign Legion, and USMC (pics on the blog).

I also got more Pendraken Argentinians, FFL, and USMC ready for desert basing, then some more 'green flock troops,' Irregulars (such as paramilitaries/drug cartels) and US for Vietnam.


Then I did up a ride for my modern Marines, a CH-53. This is not one of my usual little metal minis, this was an old-fashioned plastic scale model that I had to put together (using Gorilla Glue as I didn't think to buy any model cement, and I certainly didn't have any on hand). I'm very happy with how it turned out.

I also finished up a platoon of LAVs.


Then I worked on some modern-ish 1/600 aicraft. Here is a flight of Israeli F-16s; I also have flights of USMC/USN F-18s, Syrian MiG-23s, and Iraqi MiG-29s.

I've still got a ton of stuff to get done, but I am making progress.

V/R,
Jack

Very nice, if I wasn't so heavy into 6mm I would certainly give 10mm a go.
Cheers

Thanks Steve.

I know what you mean; I've been mostly a 10mm guy, but I just went into modern 6mm in a big way. Not sure why; I wish I'd have had your discipline Grin

V/R,
Jack
