From FranL: 15mm Civilians, Modern Vehicles (234 points)


Fran is building on his contemporary theme and sends in this very varied batch of miniatures. I'll let him explain each part in turn. On to you, Fran:



Twenty-one Rebel Minis 15mm citizens and civilians....


Three IDF 15mm SHOT Centurions still in use today in certain parts of the world, one commander and aerial added....


Six 15mm M113 IDF Zelda variants, the first 4 are Zelda variants with a command one one first with the flag, followed by a M163 Vulcan and a M577 command vehicle, plenty of stowage, an aerial added to denote command and the odd crewman head figure added....



15mm URAL 4.5 ton truck for supplies and stuff.....



Five 15mm US Marine Humvees, two with .50 cal heavy machine guns, two with Mark 19 grenade launchers and one with a TOW, the five crewmen were integral......all the vehicles so far are Peter Pig.


Two 15mm US Marine AAV-7A1, amphibious assault vehicles used by the US marines and can carry 25 marines and 3 crew, these come from Irish Serb miniatures.........


Three 15mm wrecks from Timecast, they came with a garage building but I got two of one because they hadn't got a tyre pile?........


This is a 15mm potential Ray figure (before and after) if he keeps crossing the border and both from Peter Pig.....



This is my inclusion to the Sarah 'femme fatale' figure portion of the competition, the figure is a 28mm RAFM figure with a metal asp (baton) in one hand and a silenced 9mm behind her back! I was contacted by another blogger, Anne O'Leary, who Ray did flags for, and she asked me if I could paint both her, along with another female blogger (The Happy Whisk), who I introduced to her, figures to represent them both. I had this unpainted already as it's a quirky figure (and the other figure was a repaint from before and not eligible for the competition), so I present Anne O'Leary.........

Wow, that is a whack of figures. This will give give Fran 234 points to add to his total. Great stuff, Fran!
