"15mm Rebel Minis Modern US Infantry" Topic

All,

Continuing my series of posts showcasing various manufacturer's modern 15mm offering, I hereby present Rebel Minis' Modern US Infantry. The figs are relatively cheap, well cast (clean), nice and chunky with plenty of gear, though detail on a few of the rifles is a little soft. Overall, excellent figures that I'm happy to have, and they painted up quick and easy.

I plan on using them as Rangers for Somalia in 1993, though this is not correct as all the M-16s have ACOGs on them; the figures look to be perfect for 2001 to maybe 2006 or 7, and so I painted them up in the Desert Tri-Color cammies; I think it turned out well, except all the troops look like they just left Cash Sales (for the uninitiated: they all look like they're wearing brand new uniforms, the colors are too crisp, no fading at all). I painted them as having Interceptor vests, but in Woodland camo as common in 2003, and as the Rangers' "RBA" in 1993, and black (as opposed to sand-colored) goggles.

A look at some squad leaders. To see the whole force, please check the blog at:

Great troops, and Mike at Rebel Minis was a pleasure to deal with, and very quick! I'll be posting more soon, but for now I'm off on another mini-vacation with the family, so everybody take care and be back soon. I can't help myself, so I'll be checking the forums and blogs on my phone, so feel free to comment ;)

Very nice brush work Jack! Glad to see you moving to the 15 mil side of the road. These are some of my favorite figures. Check out Mike's bad guys while you're at it! He has some great Fedayeen and Armed Gunmen figures as an OPFOR.

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

Yes, these are some great sculpts, and I also have the African Gov't troops, the African Militia, the Middle Eastern Insurgents and Fedayeen, and the PLA.

I'll get them done up and posted as soon as I can.

V/r,
Jack
