Xmas was OK- had better, had worse- I’m really a ‘Bah Humbug’ sort of person. However Santa was extra kind- directing people to my Amazon Wishlist really paid off as I got a big haul of books this year. Started reading ‘Ian Flemming’s Commandos’ half way through it already so it comes recommended from me.
Managed to get some time in my shed done as well, so I present what I’ve finished most recently:
A trio of modern US Vehicles- all from plastic kits. I’ve got a Iraq convoy game planned for them. The idea will be to go up one side of the board and then U turn to go down the opposite side. That way I get 12′ plus of road out of my small board. Hope fully the route Irish DVD I also got for Xmas may provide extra inspiration… pics once I’ve played the game.
At Triples earlier this year I picked up one of the Skytrex Riverine boats- in the case a heavily armed Alpha boat, packing a 20mm cannon turret, Twin .50 cal turret, 2 pintle mounted .30 cals and a .50cal/ mortar mount. Likewise I’ll be working up a suitable scenario for it (and trying to resist the temptation of buyi9ng more of the range).
I also finished of a batch of modern Africans- but I want to wait until my entire collection of them is completed before I post pics….
cheers,
Pete.
Hey my friend glad I saw this! I have the Skytrex for Vietnam Love them but who makes Fast Boats? I can’t find them in 20mm somebody use to I remember but failed to buy them when I saw them:( If you have any info. On Fast Boats I would love to get few:) Thanks
Your friend.
Dave
Sorry I don’t know of any fast boat in production at the moment. SD used to do one but they went out of business years ago. I’d love to find a STAB for Vietnam too.
Cheers,
Pete.
Oh Sorry wanted to ask How did you do that A+ Netting on the Humvee? Outstanding:)
Take care.
Dave
Hello Dave. The netting is just a bandage pulled so it has a bit more of a looser weave then tacked in place with supergule. I then coated it with PVA before painting.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Pete.
Looks real man!
Thanks. Careful using superglue with cotton though- use as little as possible as it is seems to produce an exothermic reaction when they get together for some reason.
Cheers,
Pete.
I never had that good a luck with Gauze! Great work!
