Colonial Cavalry testshots

Hoi,

After receiving the latest batch of HäT testshots (the Von Lettow Vorbeck sets and some colonial cavalry) I was very keen to get cracking and so finished these up double quick. Several of these chaps have separate arms so you can create quite a divers looking unit. Each sprue also includes 5 rider poses for every 4 horses. This is done to make a better officer- OR ratio. It also meant I had an extra trooper left. So I took out on of my Italeri Scott's Greys horses and made a little conversion...





And the conversion:

Vehicle showcase: truck

Hoi,

Another part of the vehicle showcase series today and I bring you a plastic kit truck. The kit is an RPM 1/72 72402 Mack AC 'Bulldog' Type EHC. As this was going to be a wargames model, put on a base, and played with; I left all the fiddly details off and slapped it together as fast as possible. I have left the canvas hood separate so I can exchange the loads as needed for scenario's.

Gone Camping!

Hoi,

Last week I finished the Amera Plastics tent sets so now I have a big rectangular Command tent, two bell-tents and some more other-ranks tents. I have based them in arid weather condition groundworks because these will be used with either Peninsular War or Colonial games.
