All,
After a bunch more painting, I'm ready to unveil my modern 3mm desert force. I say 'so far,' because I'm about as done as I think I need to be with the bad guys (generic Arab forces using Warsaw Pact equipment), but I need to put in another order to Picoarmor to finish off my Israelis, and I have a boatload of US stuff yet to be painted. Nevertheless, I've got quite a bit done so far, so I wanted to show it off.
The entire force. What are you looking at? The far right two rows are Israeli tanks, five M-48s and five Centurions. The next two rows are 'good-guy' infantry, nine of them, just rifle teams so far. The rest of the rows are bad guys: 15 T-72s, 9 BMP-1s, 6 BTR-60s, 3 BRDM-1s, one ZSU-23/4, one SA-13, three SAM-7 stands, three ATGM stands (they're actually dismounted US TOWs, but standing in for bad guy ATGMs such as Sagger, Spandrel, etc
), and 12 rifle stands.
Israeli Centurions, AKA, Sho't Kals (or something like that). I'm showing them again, because now they're finished, that is, I've 'edged' them, and put unit identifiers on them, as seen at far left, with one red dot. I like it, much less visually intrusive than the sort of stuff I'd been doing. Not sure why it hadn't occurred to me before
T-72s.
BMP-1s.
Bad guy infantry. If you look closely at some of these guys you can see skin.
