It has been about eight weeks since I last had a day of hobby time. So I did a little cleaning in the basement, putting away some of the clutter that had accumulated, and managed to finish up a few odds and ends on the paint table.
First item done is one of ArmiesArmy's ASU 85s, making three thus far for my forces:
This is probably may all-time favorite 15mm modern casting. They are just so clean and nicely detailed. Can't wait to get some of their British stuff.
Next was to finish off the bases on some AT3 Sagger teams for my Mugabian forces. Yes, ATGMs are coming to imagi-Africa:
These are QRF figs that came in a recent order from ScaleCreep which consistently offers some of the best service in the hobby.
Uwanda will get Milans:
These are QRF German Milan teams painted in Uwanda's colors. Nice figs that have me wanting to build West Germans for the Cold War. (By the way, QRF is expanding their range of Leopard 1s, if you haven't heard already)
While going through an old model kit box recently, I found a long lost old Imperial Guard figure, so decided to paint him up:
I love these old figs, and will replace one of my plastic IG figs with this one. It was kind of cool to find him after being lost for about 26 years.
I recently stumbled into my second 1/100 Fouga Magister kit:
An old Starfix kit made in Israel. It builds up into a nice little model. Here is a pic of my other one in Uwanda Air Force markings.
Took about two years to find this one, and two more years to locate the second.
Last of my day's accomplishments was to add some detail to a pair of Jeeps with TOW atgm. The original models are metal castings from QRF. While looking at photos, I realized that there were a bunch of different configurations of this vehicle, so I decided to spruce mine up and make them a little different.
And primed, but not yet painted:
These will be painted to use with my late 1970s/early 1980s US cold war forces.
May not seem like much, but I got 14 models off of my table (and a bunch of clutter), and two piles of pieces ready for paint. I'm one step closer to space for work on my post-apoc vehicles, and the hospital for an upcoming Uwanda-Mugabia war scenario.
