Another long term project finally done :)

Another aspect of the Mexican Revolutionary conflict which I can add to our tabletop :)

This started out as a WW1 era Avro "pusher" which John (Bannockburn Boy) over on the SOTCW forum was kind enough to pass on to me a year or so ago - cheers John :)

The Various "armies" used all sorts of odd planes bought from anyone who was willing to sell, so I just made a generic early type and it is NOT meant to be a accurate model of a specific make/type. 

I cut-down the cab and replaced the wheels with skids, then repainted it a neutral sand/cloth colour and added bright "hand painted" Mexican colours. Then added a civilian pilot. 

Now all my flight stands are already in Spain you forgive the crap pics.

M16 SP AA

M16 SP AA

Well two actually :)

Part of a general upgrade of my WW2 US armd forces

Matchbox models - ages old, repaired (partially re-build in one case) missing bits built out plastic card, loads of added stowage and drivers. One has a Raventhorpe Maxon turret (as I had one to hand).

Sdkfz 250/2

A vignette or mini diorama

Early War Miniatures kit (beautiful, delicate resin 250 with metal parts) I added more stowage and an additional crewman.

Now I bought this on impulse and have no idea what to do with it or even if the Germans even employed such a valuable SPW as a simple cable layer late war, so a created this for fun :)

M4A1 HTMC

Support for my US Armoured Infantry

Lots of added stowage and an Airfix plastic driver

British Support for Syria

British support for Syria

As I continue to research and design scenarios for Syria I keep coming across interesting and odd bit and pieces. It also occurred that the Anglo-Australians needed more support and some "specials" featured in games I want to run!

This is about a weeks work,
