@vissly cao  That's awesome.  Really nice build.

Or a simple design like this: As a nod to their heritage... When their forefathers deployed by parachute instead of grav suspensors. The 101st still wears the glider/airborne cap badge  as...

@Mark Dewis 

Wonderful little collection. I really regret that in France, it is almost impossible to have such weapons, except to have them neutralized. We clearly see the "Suomi" adjustable rear-sight on this...

Thank you very much, brilliant models. They give them a lot more room than they do in our country. Cheers, Geoff.

@JTam Thank you for sharing these lovelly DInos and other animals, don`t Know why but I could not acksess it till today, and had been really looking forward to seeing them. Well worth the wait copp...

@Grumpy Gnome Yes the bigest part of the opp being Kanyangese Troops but still tragic that the leadership being French ex legion Mercs. Three attempts to find cause how rediculace, and what a shamb...

To JTam... That's nothing, because many men and women refused to be enslaved, especially in the Southwest of France (military hidden units, like the Corps-Franc Pommiès, and Spanish Republic...

Honestly, I am looking forward to every single set. If only I had more time to paint..... 🎨 

It just dawned on me that those caps, with a bit of trimming the brim, might make good proxies for Corporate Security caps as seen in Andor. Perhaps with the more armored Stargrave bodies.

The usual Cannon Fodder plus Stargrave bits. But a nice simple and handy group. Could be henchgoons. Easy painting job too. I happened to spill a pot of Vallejo and needed to paint as many model...

I need to stop using the phone camera for these. The colour balance is off, or it picks up too much infrared or something.... some touchup work left to do. And I think the kneepads need to be white.

Nearly done. The Ultraviolet Berets just need flocking and a few tweaks (as usual, eyes are my nemesis. I also haven't worked out their shoulder patch design - black circle with a violet rim, but w...

You don't often need the fluro paint, but when you do, you're glad you have it. Even though it's a royal bitch to use.

@JTam I made it，used some old parts.

A Gray showed up a my neighborhood street party! Some pretty solid '50s retro vibes.

My Suomi: Semi-auto only, sadly.   The Suomi is crazy heavy.  Like made out of depleted Uranium heavy.  Ms. Valley has my respect for trecking through the Alps carrying one ...

@Geoff Maybury Ah apologies my friend, I believe those were Katangese troops... which had a number of European mercenaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jadotville If you really wa...

Placed my order.. Getting the 5 box deal. This will be my Christmas Present from the wife. 

@Grumpy Gnome We sat rivited to the screen through this, neither of us knew the history and were very shocked at the actions of the U.N.That saying "Polititions do the lieing ,Soldiers the dieing",...

@JTam That makes a much more friendly playing field for prices and some very cool figures and equipment . Spoilt for choice for Rules for these, but with Zona Alpha a leader for rule quality and ph...

https://wargamesatlantic.com/pages/release-schedule Not TOO far down the list .....  

Zach Stewart posted the below picture here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44406/sneak-peek-what-s-behind-the-curtain?page=5 Which pretty much establishes the "modern" se...

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy  Nicely caught on the rear sight.   The simplified sight on the Swiss version is eminently practical... But slightly surprising from a Nation of famed marksmen....

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy  Fascinating stuff.  Thanks for sharing a unique perspective, and the family history!

Definitely: (Although I'll join the chorus.  I wish they had dropped some heads (still don't get the GI helmets) or the cannon arms to get another body on the sprue.) The Raptor Cavalry. ...

@Geoff Maybury  Reference: Interesting.  Maybe.  That would be great because the Eisenkern mule is an amazing kit. Looking at the picture: Yellow - He is definitely holding a...

@Geoff Maybury  Reference: Could be.  Could be. Yes.  Looks a lot like an ammo crate, power cores, and a water cooler or similar.  Possibly folded stretchers stored to th...

@Alessio De Carolis  Well the pyramid of needs is real.

@JTam so am I. 

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy You're right, in human history a LOT of revolts started more for lack of food than for lack of civil rights.

@Mark Dewis Thought it was a cracker on facebook,looks even better here larger. 

@Alessio De Carolis Bigger than the old Arora Kit, but you are very right, flattern the top, and its a good  copy.

@JTam The photo on the left I think is something for the Ooh-Rahs, at first i was thinking along the lines of the "Power Armor " front, now I wonder if its a"Medic cradle" like on "Iron Cores" mule...

@JTam @Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Don`t know about you two but Allo, Allo is sudenlly much more exiting I must be having a nostalgia blast. So looking forward to these female resistance, much more than I e...

@JTam Long Low boxes ammo?,  Tall item power generator?. Small round frezer box (beers).

My good JTam, you put it on the bullseye ! If I base myself on what the elders used to say at home, two things led to desobedience first, then to active resistance : lack of food (requisitions : f...

More dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures  - Phoenix Zoo, Phoenix, AZ:

I'm actually pretty excited about the "Epic" scale Hail Caesar rumors... 

@Blutze  Nothing in the world is going to make T3 1 wound Elves durable aka "not supposed to die." (Except perhaps heavy armor, shield, and being mounted on a barded warhorse - but we are tal...

@JTam  I just finished watching All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix. It is worth watching,in my opinion.  I don't want to give much of the storyline away. It does stray away from ...

I  posted this in another thread, but here are my own Saucer people in progress: Heads and most arms courtesy of Stargrave kits. Ask around - a lot of people will have spares!

Maybe that's a belt (etc.) pouch with cigars, not bread. Note the fastening and lack of shoulder straps. Plenty of military sterotypes with cigars out there.

I want the WW2 sentries for the dogs too... but I'm intending to convert them into Traveller Vargr aliens. Partisans 2 isn't listed specifically, so I assume the secret World Ablaze one is that. ...

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy  Well, I finally understand why the French organized a resistance.  

The Leader emerges... (Stargrave Mercenaries II preorder turned up this week! 😁)

The Swastika could have been transformed, that's for sure... A simple Iron Cross, with the palm tree, could have suggested the thing without hurting. That said, the work done is prodigious, inspir...

In my humble opinion, the best version remains the 1st one (1930, Lewis Milestone), without a doubt. The characters were fair and sincere, the acting was almost perfect and the butterfly scene rema...
