I have been quite busy today with my Soviets, which will feature this week. Basing and painting, basing and painting...It does get to you after a while, so I took a little time out to add a vehicle to my African/Cuban Para force.Land Rovers were much the mainstay of the African bush from the 1950's to the 1990's, so I used a diecast Series III LWB to use as a mount for a DShK 12.7mm AAMG. The AAMG is from the Matchbox T34/76 set, while the Land Rover is from Kongwell and was over painted from the UN white colours it came in.
I will attach it to the Support Company where it can add a little punch to the Battalion.
Great stuff.That rover is much better than the JB/Airfix effort I knocked up.SGTS MESS do a range of WW2 MGs with mounts for a reasonable price.A WOMBAT would look the nuts on the back of one them.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the JB Land Rover is quite disapointing. Wombats rock!
ReplyDeleteLooks grand...a bit of wethering and it will be perfect. Where´s the donkey going? :-)

That Landrover is way cool Paul, nice one
ReplyDeleteAK47 rules or Modern CD?
Not my era, but it looks good (I know, I am a one dimensioned person)!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Paul!

Cheers Thanos, I am sure you are not as one dimensional as you say mate!
ReplyDeleteHi Geordie, unsure of rules yet, probably be CD Modern, AK47 is a mystery to me.
ReplyDeleteI am sure I have seen the rules around on a site somewhere, but I did not take too much notice of it. I am good like that.
Paul, the donkey mystery is in todays post. Good spotting!
ReplyDeleteThat is a vry nice Landy. It seems to be a difficult model to get right - going by the number of poor representations (at least in 6mm and 15mm) I have seen.

Hi Tim, I know what you mean about Land Rover kits. It seems to be all connected to the wheel sizings or width. Not too sure about the metal models though.
ReplyDeleteNice job looks great !
