Cold War Spanish
Inventory
This all started when Richard Crawley decided to run his Crisis Point/Andrevia game at the Gauntlet show in Broughton nr Wrexham under the SOTCW banner yrs ago. Andrevia is a fictional Balkans type nation beset by all sorts of external and internal strife.
Now i don`t game post 1960 as a rule, but Richard`s setting in 1990ish post Cold War, I decided to paint up a small NATO contingent and chose the Spanish as something very different from the norm. As you will see this has grown somewhat
I`ve never had everything in one place until now, so I have photographed all vehicles and troops together.
This force represents a Mechanized cavalry group which can be used as a QRF.
Complete force
(note some vehicles still have UN markings)
Command/support
M113 with Milan Hobbyden with two deployed teams
M106 mortar carrier Esci kit deployed MG3 team Elheim
M577 command vehicle S&S 6 figure command element

At the front we have an ancient Esci kit, at the back a resin model by S&S and the one facing up is a Revell kit
Recce
2 x 5 figure squads in VAMTAC (Spanish Hummer copies) which are repainted di-cast toys
Figures mostly Elheim, I put the UN Jeep here for completeness (another repainted di-cast toy)
Armoured cars (AML60)

Brilliant, great to see them in their entirety. Only ever seen a few pictures on Richard C's blog 👍

Thank you, they have been staring at me since I unpacked them from the journey out here. As with most projects it is surprising what you have gathered over the years :)
DeleteA very nice collection- certainly something different. Will you be raising some opposition for them?
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete
DeleteNo plans at present
Which Elhiem figures did you use?
ReplyDeleteCheers, Richard P
Mostly NATO West Germans, but he does some generic NATO in M1 pots too and there are also some G3 armed guys in his Iraqi range.
DeleteThanks Richard
