Hi guys

Was recently talking to a friend about his 15mm AK47 project, which encourage me to dig my 1/72 1960-70 Central African project out of the stash, have done the basic paint job, and done an oil wash, when dry I will start on the highlights. Figures are converted from the Italeri 1/72 Vietcong and US special forces sets.

Love the lizard camo! So simple yet so difficult. Very few do it as well as you do.

The National African Republic of Bongolesia under the esteemed leadership of His Excellency, President-For-Life P'hat Daddee B'wonah, extends greetings and courtesies to the Democratic Republic of Botswalia…

Keep your eye on those Bongolesians. Peace greetings are often given before an attack. Great looking project!

" The National African Republic of Bongolesia under the esteemed leadership of His Excellency, President-For-Life P'hat Daddee B'wonah, extends greetings and courtesies to the Democratic Republic of Botswalia"

It's a little known fact that Botswalia and Bongolesia share a short length of contested border

" I love your paint. Do you see this figures?"

They look good, might get some of those.

" L'tumNe sends greetings! Don't mind the 122mm 'gift wrap'"

Ahh, must be the season for greetings, we also can send presents.

A recoilless rifle is a great idea.
