1980's RM Commandos 2nd Coy

I was going to post the start of my MT-LB construction tonight, but by crikey it's a bit of a mission with the cleaning up process so that will have to wait until my frame of mid is better. So instead we have the second Company of my Royal Marine Commando ah la 1980's. Above the standard Matchbox NATO Para's figures for the Command stand. I made some of the smocks a little brighter so they were like the Arctic issue. Rifle Troop, again both Matchbox. The wash worked much better on these figures.
Last Rifle Troop, this time both ESCI from the NATO Troops set. The GPMG gunner though not really in shot here has a wonderful set of muttonchops and a great looking handlebar moustache
Full Company. I suppose I must get back to the MT-LB, fugging flash!

  2. It is too easy to please you Al. I must admit it was just after dusk when I took the shots so they are not the best.

  12. Cheers Mork, not really too modern and I am sure I suffer from too many projects on the go syndrome.
