From JuanM: 28mm Taliban Mortar Team, Al Qaeda Fighter & Modern US Infantryman (30 points)


From Juan:
Here is another entry for The Challenge. This time, some models from "Empress Miniatures", from their Modern Range. They are a Taliban Mortar Team, an al Qaeda "Freedom Fighter" and my first US soldier with ACU uniform. I have painted them to become part of my "Skirmish Sangin" games.






These are very nice models, clean and really easy to paint. I expect to prepare, soon, a game based in the "Lone Survivor" film/book.
Beautiful work Juan. The Empress range is fabulous and you've really done them justice with these figures. I'm especially impressed with your rendition of the American ACU camo, which can be very tricky to pull off. Well done!

This assortment of modern figures will give Juan 30 points. Great work!

  2. Juan - that is top-notch brushwork. Really well done, particularly the US camo. I can't come close to pulling that off. Very, very nice.

  3. The camo looks superb but I really love these Taliban/ al Quaida guys. Great choice of colours and well set highlights.

  5. Your basing is excellent Juan, very convincing. I like your muted colours too but like others have said the US camo is brilliant.
